An elegant and substantial four-bedroom Victorian terraced home, occupying a prime position on one of Murrayfield’s most desirable residential streets, with a beautiful south-west facing garden and exceptional potential for modernisation. Constructed in 1902, this handsome period home retains a wealth of original features, including ornate cornicing, fireplaces, sash and case windows and a striking timber staircase, while offering generously proportioned accommodation throughout and a rare opportunity to create a superb family home tailored to individual requirements.

Entered via a vestibule, the ground floor accommodation comprises a welcoming reception hallway with an impressive original staircase and useful storage beneath. To the front, a magnificent bay-windowed sitting room is flooded with natural light and showcases fine period detailing, including decorative cornicing, an elegant fireplace and a shelved press. To the rear, a well-proportioned family room offers flexible living and dining space, also benefiting from a press cupboard.

The kitchen is well-appointed and enjoys direct access to the rear garden. A formal dining room, again with a press cupboard, features double doors opening into a bright conservatory-an ideal garden room enjoying a peaceful outlook and access to the patio and garden beyond. A shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.

A carpeted staircase leads to the first floor, where a generous landing is illuminated by a large cupola, creating a wonderful sense of light and space. The principal bedroom to the front enjoys a bay window, ornate cornicing, fireplace and wash hand basin. There are three further double bedrooms, two quietly positioned to the rear (one with a feature fireplace and shelved press), and a fourth double bedroom. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath and electric shower over, complemented by fitted storage, two chrome towel rails and a skylight.

The property benefits from gas central heating, supplemented by solar panels for water heating. The windows are predominantly traditional sash and case, with double glazing to the rear. Additional storage is provided by a cellar beneath the kitchen and conservatory, as well as a large attic space accessed via a hatch and ladder from the first floor landing.

Externally, the front garden is laid to lawn with mature planting and a gated path leading to the entrance.
