17 Plewlands Gardens is an attractive three bedroom main door lower villa, forming part of a handsome traditional sandstone terrace in the heart of highly desirable Morningside. Set behind a private gated front garden, the property offers spacious and well proportioned accommodation, fine period detail, a generous private rear garden, and excellent access to local amenities, schools, green spaces and transport links.
The property is entered via an enclosed private front garden into an entrance vestibule, with a traditional tiled floor and patterned glass inner door. From here, a welcoming hallway gives access to the principal accommodation and benefits from useful storage.
To the front, the sitting room is an elegant and generously proportioned public room, with a beautiful bay window, ornate cornicing, exposed timber flooring, a decorative fireplace, and a built in display press. This is a particularly bright and appealing room, well suited to both everyday family living and entertaining.
The separate dining room provides an excellent second public space, with room for a full dining table and direct access through to the kitchen. The fitted kitchen enjoys good natural light and is arranged with wall mounted and floor mounted units, wooden worktops, tiled splashback, integrated appliances and direct access to the rear garden.
There are three bedrooms. The principal double bedroom is positioned to the front of the property and includes attractive cornicing and good proportions. The second double bedroom overlooks the rear garden and offers excellent flexibility as a child’s room or a guest room. Bedroom three is also rear facing and would work well as a child’s bedroom, nursery, or home office.
The family bathroom is fitted with a bath with shower over, wash hand basin, wc and heated towel rail.
Garden
The private front garden creates an attractive approach to the property, with mature hedging, a wrought iron gate, neat gravelled areas, and a paved pathway leading to the front door. Its established planting gives a good degree of privacy from the street.

Accessed directly from the kitchen, it includes a large decked terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, together with a well maintained lawn, mature planting, stepping stones, and a substantial timber shed providing useful external storage.
