An exceptional five-bedroom Edwardian townhouse in Edinburgh's highly sought after Murrayfield area.

The property combines handsome period proportions with thoughtfully reconfigured and upgraded accommodation, creating a beautifully balanced and light filled family home.

Since purchasing the property, the current owners have undertaken significant alterations, most notably creating an exceptional open-plan kitchen / living / dining space, complete with walk-in pantry, which now forms the true heart of the home.

This impressive room spans the width of the house and opens via French doors onto a generous south-west facing terrace, with steps leading down to the rear garden - ideal for both family life and entertaining.

A contemporary family bathroom and separate shower room serve this level.

Bedroom five, originally the maid’s room and accessed via it's own staircase leading from the kitchen, is used as a study currently and retains charming character and flexibility of use.

The garden level has been comprehensively developed and now provides extensive ancillary accommodation.

This includes a cinema room (currently utilised as a laundry), a utility / boot room, two substantial store rooms and a garden store / workshop with direct access to the rear garden.

With good ceiling heights this level offers excellent versatility and potential for further adaptation, subject to the necessary consents.
