10/1 (GF), Murrayfield Avenue, Murrayfield, Edinburgh, EH12 6AX

Part of a C-listed building (circa 1889-1901), this traditional two-bedroom duplex flat is within a highly sought-after conservation area in Murrayfield, just a short walk from Edinburgh’s fashionable West End. The city home offers the large rooms expected of its era, along with high ceilings and charming period features. Furthermore, it provides new buyers with an appealing blank canvas, including an elegant reception room, a modern open-plan kitchen/dining room, and a quality shower room. The mature private garden is equally delightful, providing lots of space and an abundance of sun. Altogether, this property is an exceptional city home in one of Edinburgh’s most desirable postcodes.

The historic building has a beautiful façade of polished sandstone ashlar and striking architectural features, incorporating crenellated parapets and triangular pediments. It is a strong introduction that continues via a communal hallway with original floor tiles. In the flat, you are welcomed by a hall that has access to a lower store area offering built-in storage and garden access.

Boasting expansive dimensions, the living room is an exceptional space which is further enhanced by elegant interior design and varnished wooden floorboards. The sweeping bay window (with working shutters) immediately catches the eye, followed by the period open fireplace and the exquisite cornice work that highlights the ceiling. Two press cupboards bring useful storage as well. Overall, this room is sophisticated and highly inviting.

The open-plan kitchen/dining room has an equally large footprint as the living area, ensuring plenty of room for lively dinner parties. It further benefits from a neutral backdrop and easy-to-clean floor tiles, as well as a stone fireplace which handsomely frames a cosy log-burning stove. The fitted kitchen provides modern cabinet storage alongside wood-toned worktops, backed by metro-style splashbacks. It has space for freestanding appliances and a quietly located utility cupboard (just off the shower room).

The two bedrooms are both bright and spacious doubles finished in neutral tones. The principal bedroom is on the ground floor, enjoying a tartan carpet and a high ceiling framed by intricate cornice work. Meanwhile, the second bedroom occupies the first floor, benefitting from wooden floorboards. It provides homeowners with additional flexibility, whether used as a family bedroom, a private office, or a guest’s bedroom.

Maintaining the standards, the light and airy shower room enjoys white décor and a quality three-piece. It is comprised of a toilet, a pedestal washbasin, and a shower cubicle.

The flat’s private rear garden has a large footprint that is fully enclosed by a high fence and wall, providing a secure space for those with free-roaming pets and children. It is carefully maintained with a patio for outdoor dining and a central lawn framed by paving stones and mature plants for a leafy ambience. An established apple tree adds to its charm, while a southeast-facing aspect ensures an abundance of daily sun. Parking is on street and within a priority parking area (B9).
