Afton Terrace, Trinity, Edinburgh, Midlothian, EH5

A beautifully presented, four-bedroom family home with elegant period character, generous living space and private front and rear gardens in the heart of Trinity

Description

A charming mid-terraced period house situated in one of Edinburgh's most sought-after residential locations.

Arranged over two levels, the property offers excellent family accommodation, with four bedrooms on the first floor, generous reception space on the ground floor and private gardens to the front and rear.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance vestibule, leading through to a bright and spacious hallway. To the front of the house is the elegant south-facing sitting room, featuring a beautiful bay window, impressive fireplace and attractive period cornicing. Flooded with natural light throughout the day, this is a particularly appealing reception room.

To the rear of the property lies the beautifully appointed kitchen, which is open to the dining room to create a superb space for modern family living and entertaining. There is ample room for a large dining table, while French doors open directly onto the decked terrace and rear garden, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces. A practical utility room is accessed from the dining area and provides excellent built-in storage, a useful WC and further access to the terrace and garden.

Adjacent to the dining room is a well-proportioned family room overlooking the rear garden. Currently used as an additional reception room, it would serve equally well as a playroom, home office or fifth bedroom if required. Completing the ground floor are two useful storage cupboards, including an under-stair store.

A staircase rises to the first-floor landing, illuminated by a delightful cupola overhead. The generous principal bedroom is positioned to the rear of the house and benefits from built-in wardrobes and a luxurious en suite bathroom with separate shower. There are three further double bedrooms on this floor, all bright and well-proportioned, which are served by a stylish family shower room.

Externally, the property enjoys private gardens to both the front and rear. Designed for ease of maintenance, both have been attractively paved. The south-facing front garden enjoys excellent levels of sunlight, while the fully enclosed west-facing rear garden provides a private and sheltered setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. A gate to the rear offers access to the shared private lane beyond.
