7 Craighall Crescent, Trinity, Edinburgh, EH6 4RX

This three-bedroom semi-detached house is an elegant city home that has been thoroughly upgraded and modernised. It features bright and spacious rooms which are expertly finished to impeccable standards, brimming with style and sophistication. It further boasts a sociable open-plan reception room and well-appointed kitchen, a contemporary shower room, and a suntrap rear garden. It also has a private allocated parking space too. Situated in exclusive Trinity, the home has a highly desirable location in the capital as well, affording easy access to superb amenities, regular transport links, and well-regarded schools.

From the very outset, the home showcases its sumptuous interior design with an entrance hall that is bright and inviting. Here, the woodpanelled feature wall, neutral décor, and deluxe herringbone floor (found throughout the ground level) hint at what is to follow.

The ground floor has been upgraded creating a sociable open-plan layout that combines the kitchen, living and dining areas. Spacious and bathed in dual-aspect light, it is a beautiful reception area that is further heightened by the on-trend decoration which sets contemporary accent walls against a neutral backdrop. A media wall and wall-set fireplace (with a realistic living flame) form the focal point for lounge furniture, whilst a dining area can be placed by the patio doors to the rear garden (beside a casual breakfast bar).

The kitchen complements the aesthetic of the open-plan living area, combining cream coloured cabinets with wood-toned worktops. It is zoned behind a central island with the fitted breakfast bar and streamlined by integrated appliances for a smooth finish (induction hob, concealed extractor, oven, microwave, and fridge/freezer). It also has further built-in storage (with plumbing for a washing machine) and a vertical radiator for added warmth and style.

On the first floor, the three bedrooms continue to impress, each room pairing neutral décor with a stylish accent wall. The principal bedroom, laid with a hardwood floor (like bedroom 3), is a spacious double equipped with two built-in wardrobes for generous clothes storage. Bedroom two (fitted with a soft carpet) is also a double with a large built-in wardrobe, whereas bedroom three is a versatile single currently used as a relaxed sitting area (although it could work equally well as an office, a child’s room, or even a nursery).

Enjoying contemporary appeal, the shower room is finished with premium tiles and a three-piece suite. It features a toilet, a half-pedestal washbasin below an illuminated mirror, and a quadrant shower cubicle with handheld and overhead showers.

Adding further appeal, the home has enclosed gardens to the front and south-eastfacing rear. The former features neat lawns, whereas the latter has a low-maintenance setup, laid with paving and a timber deck for relaxing and dining in the sun. The rear garden also includes a hot tub for added luxury. The property has a private allocated parking space to the rear as well, with unrestricted on-street parking to the front.

Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, integrated kitchen appliances and a hot tub to be included in the sale.
