A stunning, Victorian terraced home providing spacious family accommodation, enviably located in the heart of Merchiston. Beautifully presented and rich in period detail with private garden.
4 Merchiston Bank Avenue is a beautifully presented Victorian house that has undergone full refurbishment to provide wonderful family accommodation set over three floors, finished to a superb standard. The property has been thoughtfully and sympathetically modernised, retaining many beautiful period features from stripped wooden floors and working shutters to the wonderfully ornate cornicing and period fireplaces. It benefits from east and west facing aspects, allowing for plenty of natural light throughout the day.
Entering through a spacious vestibule with original Victorian floor tiles, a welcoming hallway provides access to the ground floor accommodation. To the front is an excellent reception space with a bay windowed living room, stunning cornicing and working gas fireplace.
The hallway continues on to the dining room, which would serve equally well as a family room, and boasts beautiful original features and an attractive gas fireplace with original Victorian tiles. To the rear of the property lies the luxury bespoke 'Harvey Jones' kitchen, with solid wood units and granite worktops, flooded with natural light from the cupola overhead which spans almost the entire ceiling. The kitchen benefits from integrated Neff appliances and an electric 'Total Control' AGA and has been cleverly designed, offering an 'appliance barn' among other thoughtful cabinetry. The underfloor heating makes it a cosy spot to cook, dine and entertain. There is also a useful utility room off the kitchen with a Belfast sink and laundry space.
Access to the enclosed, private rear garden is provided by bi-fold doors at the rear of the kitchen which, when open, stich the indoors and outdoors together.
The ground floor accommodation is rounded up with a well appointed shower room and a spacious under stair cupboard which provides the perfect space to store coats and shoes, together with another store cupboard.
The staircase ascends to the first floor landing, bathed in natural light from the cupola above. To the front of the house is the sitting room which is a wonderful space boasting ornate period features and a bay window. It would serve equally well as a large double bedroom. Adjacent to this room is the study which could be used as another bedroom or, indeed, as a dressing room.
To the rear of the first floor is the principal suite; a spacious and bright bedroom complete with roll-top bath and a separate en suite shower room.
The staircase continues to the second floor which is home to three further double bedrooms, a shower room and a store cupboard.
The property is double glazed throughout and has a recently installed Claymore Security System, including CCTV cameras.

This house has so much to offer and would make a perfect family home. I love it's proximity to Morningside, and many of my favourite brunch spots are a short walk away.
