Hailes Gardens, Colinton, Edinburgh, EH13 0JH

Our Seller Says:

We had many reasons for buying this home - we wanted a great family home to raise our boys in with access to excellent Primary and Secondary schools.  The garden was also a fantastic draw as a great entertaining space and plenty of room for the kids to run about in.  The house is a short walk to Colinton Village which has great shops and restaurants and there’s always been a real sense of community which has been wonderful.  Getting further afield was easy too with quick access to the M8 and Airport and it was great to have the No. 44 bus at the bottom of the road to get you into the city centre quickly. We will miss our garden the most, we spent a lot of time getting the plot to how we wanted it and now it is so well established and easy to maintain with different plants, trees and shrubs and lots of birds and wildlife.  The boys used to play football and tennis and hide and seek and were often out there for hours at a time.  We have had many family get togethers and barbecues and once even a wedding!  It’s a lovely quiet space to relax in and we will definitely miss it. I have many happy memories of family meals in the kitchen.  It’s a warm and cosy room and my wife spent a lot of time designing the kitchen to get it how she wanted it.  She was a great cook and I didn’t mind doing the washing up afterwards looking out at the garden.
