An exceptional semi-detached family home set within mature private gardens, offering generous and flexible accommodation with direct outlooks over adjoining woodland.
Description
68 Barnton Avenue is an impressive and rarely available semi-detached family home set within beautifully maintained private gardens, occupying a particularly attractive position backing directly onto woodland and Bruntsfield Links Golf Course beyond.
Extending to over 3,300 sq ft of well balanced accommodation (excluding garage and stores), the house offers flexible and generously proportioned living space arranged over two principal floors, designed to maximise natural light and garden outlooks.
The property is entered via a welcoming vestibule leading to a central reception hall. To the front, a spacious sitting room enjoys a pleasant garden aspect and features a traditional fireplace, creating an elegant yet comfortable everyday living space. A formal dining room also provides ideal space for entertaining, positioned conveniently close to the kitchen.
The generously proportioned kitchen/breakfast room to the rear of the property is fitted with extensive cabinetry and integrated appliances, with ample space for informal dining and direct access to the garden. A separate utility room and ground floor shower room enhance practical day-to-day living. A dedicated study/home office completes the ground floor accommodation, ideal for modern working requirements.
On the first floor, the accommodation is arranged around a central landing and comprises a superb drawing room with large windows and south westerly views of the surrounding greenery along with four well proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, while a second bedroom also enjoys en suite facilities. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. Several rooms enjoy elevated views over the gardens and mature woodland beyond, contributing to a sense of privacy and tranquillity.
Externally, the house is set within established and thoughtfully landscaped gardens, laid predominantly to lawn with mature shrubs, hedging and flowering borders providing year round interest. There are multiple seating areas ideal for outdoor entertaining. To the front, a private driveway provides excellent parking and leads to a double garage with additional storage, offering further practicality.
Overall, this is a substantial and highly adaptable family home, offering excellent privacy, direct access to open green space and outstanding potential for further enhancement, subject to the necessary consents.
