Property description

Viewing of this exceptionally stylish detached villa is essential.

The property is situated a mere five minutes’ walk from the High Street and within the conservation area of the town. Fixtures and fittings are of an unusually high standard with Category 5 network points throughout allowing easy integration of entertainment and computer technologies.

What's more, the property is protected by an integral intruder and smoke alarm system from Corstorphine Alarms.
