Handsome three story five bedroom family home with generous accommodation and flexible arrangement
18 Murrayfield Gardens is a handsome stone built family home retaining many period features typical of the era in which it was built. The house is well-proportioned throughout offering comfortable, spacious and free-flowing accommodation set over three floors. To the rear there is connected living quarters currently designed as a separate space that could be amalgamated or left for multi-generational living.
With both east and west facing aspects the house benefits from plenty of natural light throughout the day. The house caters beautifully for modern family living, with particular features of the house including the extended open plan dining kitchen, spacious sitting room and the flexibility of various rooms for multiple uses.
The front door opens to a broad and welcoming hall from where the principal living space radiates and the stair rises to the upper floors. To the front lies the impressive and welcoming family sitting room acting as the focal point of the home, while to the rear of the house is the bright open plan dining kitchen that has been extended containing a modern feature skylight to bring in additional natural light.
Moving up to the first floor an elegant bay windowed drawing room currently used as an office gives additional reception or living space alongside a double and single bedroom. As shown by the current owners, the space provided lends to multiple uses as both bedrooms and more functional space. The family bathroom completes the accommodation on the first floor.
Ascending to the second floor, there are two further double bedrooms and one single bedroom as well as a further shower room. From this level there are wonderful views stretching across Murrayfield towards the Pentlands.
The house is approached by a gated stone path and driveway, set back from the road by a delightful and easily maintained front garden. Moving round to the rear of the house the current additional self-contained accommodation is well-presented and provides additional space for live-in helpers or family, or makes ideal guest accommodation. This space could be easily re-instated into the principal house, but currently features another dining kitchen, sitting room and double bedroom with a further shower room.
The rear private garden is remarkably private and has a range of mature shrubs and trees providing lots of colour. It is easily maintained and has an additional storage shed.
