Rarely available and particularly fine ground and garden property, situated on one of the most sought after crescents in Edinburgh

Description

A rarely available and particularly fine ground and garden portion of a magnificent end-terrace Victorian townhouse. This property offers wonderfully light, spacious and elegant proportions with beautifully presented accommodation throughout the ground and lower ground floors. Having been extensively refurbished and modernised by the current owners, the property offers a successful blend of many wonderful traditional period features, including the exceptional plasterwork and working shutters, combined with contemporary fixtures and fittings. The light throughout the property is particularly striking, with a square bay to the front of the building enhanced further by the bay window to the side, situated in the magnificent dining kitchen, as well as the principal bedroom. The property offers superb living and reception space throughout the ground floor, complemented by four generous bedrooms, of which one of these forms a self-contained but fully integral flat, making this an exceptional property.

The front door opens from the shared vestibule to the hallway, from where the principal living space is situated. To the front is the elegant drawing room with a south facing square bay window with views to Belgrave Crescent gardens, while a door links through to the study, which could also be used as a fifth bedroom if required. Adjacent to the study there is a cloakroom and WC, while the outstanding dining kitchen is set to the west side of the property, and benefits from a wonderful west facing bay window allowing for an abundance of light from late morning until well into the evening. The kitchen is beautifully appointed and has been finished to an exceptionally high specification with an Aga and solid wood units topped with granite work surfaces, while there is ample space for a generous dining table as well as a seating area in the bay. Also on this floor, there is a guest bedroom with en suite shower room.

The original stone stair leads down to the lower ground floor level. To the front, there is a self-contained, but fully integral, apartment. Here there is a generous double bedroom with an en suite bathroom and excellent wardrobe space, as well as an open plan sitting room and kitchen with a log-burning stove making it an exceptionally cosy room. The principal bedroom is adjacent to this and again benefits from the west facing bay window, as well as a dressing room and en suite shower room. To the rear of the property is the fourth bedroom with direct access to the family bathroom, also accessed from the hallway. There is also a delightful garden room, which is currently used as a studio, which provides access to the rear garden. In addition there are various useful store cupboards providing excellent internal storage.

To the rear of the property there is a delightful garden with a westerly aspect. Having been beautifully landscaped, there is a terrace immediately to the rear of the property, with steps rising to a further terrace and on to the lawned area beyond. There are a variety of mature plants and shrubs providing lots of colour for much of the year. The property also owns exclusively the front and side basement areas which link around the side of the property to the rear garden, with gated access providing additional security. To the front there are three under pavement cellars providing additional useful storage space.
