Historic Edinburgh coach house hits the market with private drive and cute garden

A charming Edinburgh coach house has hit the market with an incredible history spanning back over 200 years.

The three-bedroom house was thought to have been first built around the early 1800s, with some extensions and more modern additions added on over time.

Once part of a larger estate, the smaller cottage is accessed by its own private driveway off the main road, and is just a short walk away from the Water of Leith.

However, despite being a distance from the city centre, the adorable property doesn't come cheap - with an asking price of offers over £535,000.

Set over two floors, the building's interior has been kept modern and up to date, with a newer conservatory added on in recent years to allow for some extra space.

As well as three well-sized bedrooms, there are two bathrooms and a reception room with a stunning and original fireplace.

Outside, the house has a large patio garden that is opened out onto from the conservatory, as well as a large green and landscaped lawn.

Speaking about the property, agents Simpson and Marwick said: "This exceptional, charming three bedroom detached former coach house (built c.1800) is located in the highly sought after residential area of Colinton.

"The property benefits from delightful gardens to the front, side and rear as well as a driveway and further shared driveway. The interior of the property is bright and well proportioned throughout and is tastefully presented and in good order. The conservatory benefits from doors leading out to the private south-west facing patio garden.

"To the front of the property is an area of lawn next to the driveway. The garden leads around the side of the property to the rear and the delightful south-west facing garden."
