Substantial three storey Victorian family home located in the ever popular Murrayfield

Description

42 Murrayfield Avenue is a handsome Victorian mid-terrace townhouse constructed of stone, offering generous and versatile accommodation over three well-proportioned levels. Beautifully maintained throughout, the property provides a comfortable and adaptable layout, ideal for modern family living. East and West-facing aspects ensure excellent natural light, further enhanced by an impressive cupola above the main staircase.

Many charming period details have been carefully preserved, including the striking wooden staircase, ornate plasterwork, and decorative cornicing. The home is particularly well suited to family life, with excellent living and entertaining spaces across the ground and first floors, while six spacious double bedrooms are arranged over the upper two levels.

The front door opens into an entrance vestibule, leading through to a welcoming hallway that provides access to the ground-floor accommodation and the staircase rising to the upper floors. To the front of the house is a delightful, light-filled sitting room, enhanced by a bay window overlooking the front garden.

To the rear of the property lies a spacious west-facing kitchen/dining room, enjoying views over the bright and attractive garden. From here, there is access to a charming garden room, which in turn opens onto the superb garden beyond. A staircase from the garden room leads to a study, a highly versatile space suitable for a range of uses.

The ground floor is further complemented by a utility room and WC, along with generous understairs storage.

At first-floor level, there is a particularly fine drawing room with delightful plasterwork, a bay window providing plenty of light, and a beautiful fireplace. The spacious principal bedroom is set to the back of the house with an en suite bathroom, while a further double bedroom is located at the front of the first floor. The staircase continues to the upper floor, where there are four spacious double bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom, and an additional family shower room, as well as further storage cupboards.

The house is set well back from the road and is approached by a gated stone path with a well-maintained front garden. To the rear of the property, there is a delightful west-facing walled garden with a variety of plants and shrubs. At the far end of the garden, there is a garden shed.
