Description

Immaculately presented detached Victorian villa in a prime Morningside location

Description

Isla Bank is a beautifully presented and elegantly proportioned detached Victorian villa occupying an elevated position with wonderful southerly views towards the Pentland Hills. The property offers spacious, flexible and comfortable accommodation set over two principal floors and with aspects to the north, south, east and west there is an abundance of natural light throughout the day. The property has been modernised in recent times and is immaculately presented throughout, yet retains much of its original charm with a variety of wonderful period features.

Steps rise to the front door, which opens through a vestibule to the welcoming entrance hall from where the stair rises to the upper floor and the principal living and reception accommodation is accessed. To either side of the hall are the south facing sitting room and elegant dining room, which in turn leads through to the west facing sun room. An ante-room can also be accessed from both the dining room and sun room, and leads to the exceptional open plan dining kitchen. The dining area is generous in size, suitable for a large table for informal dining, and there are double doors opening to a west facing terrace. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with solid wood units and marble worktops, as well as an Aga. A useful utility room is situated off the kitchen with a side access door. Also on the ground floor is a large cloak room and wet room shower and WC.

The original stone stair rises to the upper floor, with a study/bedroom four located at the mid-level. The stair continues up to the main landing where the bedroom accommodation is situated. The principal bedroom suite runs from front to back, with the bedroom benefiting from southerly views, leading through to the fully fitted dressing room to the rear. The luxurious en suite bath and shower room is also situated to the front. The two further double bedrooms on this floor also benefit from en suite shower rooms, while there is a further family bathroom.

The house occupies an elevated position towards the rear of the plot. Electrically controlled gates open to the driveway with large turning circle and where the detached double garage is situated.

There is a section of lawn to the front of the house, while the rear of the house is hard landscaped, with two stone patios, conveniently positioned to take advantage of sunlight throughout the day. Here there is a delightful pond as well as a greenhouse.
