detached house, central heating, Rear Garden
RE/MAX Advantage are pleased to present this roomy two-bedroom upper quarter villa in the popular and convenient Stoneybank area of Musselburgh. Decorated throughout in neutral tones, the property is presented in move-in condition, and would make an ideal home for the first-time buyer, or for the smaller family. The property is well-situated within easy walking distance of Musselburgh rail station, and the Queen Margaret University College. The area is well-served by regular bus and rail services into Edinburgh and also to other destinations in East Lothian, with the rail service offering a timetabled 6-minute journey time into Edinburgh Waverley. For the motorist, there is off-street parking for one car, with ample on-street parking adjacent to the property, and the junction of the A1 and the Edinburgh City Bypass is minutes away, allowing easy access to all parts of Edinburgh and other major routes.
Musselburgh, as the name suggests, has a fishing heritage, and the town still has an active harbour. The high street is a short drive away, still within a reasonable walking distance from the property, and offers a variety of national retail and financial names such as Boots, Tesco, HBoS and RBS, as well as a good selection of local retailers. Leisure facilities include the Brunton Theatre, sports centres, three golf courses in and around the town, along with the racecourse, which hosts regular meetings throughout the year. Also within easy reach are the more extensive shopping facilities at Kinnaird Park, and the Asda hypermarket.
