Beautifully presented semi-detached period home with 5 bedrooms and landscaped private gardens situated in the highly regarded Morningside area, close to excellent public and private schooling.
This exceptionally bright and spacious property offers generously proportioned and versatile accommodation over two levels, beautifully complemented by fine period features. The accommodation includes an entrance vestibule, a central hall with cloakroom storage and an elegant bay-windowed sitting room with fine decorative cornicing. There is a spacious dining room, a versatile family room/bedroom 5, a kitchen/breakfast room with granite worktops, a large modern utility off (refitted 2019) and a WC compartment completing the ground floor. An exceptionally bright renovated cupola lights the stairway leading to a bay-windowed bedroom 1 with dual aspect, 3 further double bedrooms, one with ensuite shower room, and a modern family bathroom. There is a bright 1st floor study/maid’s room, and an excellent level of storage throughout along with an extensive insulated floored attic. In addition, all windows are double glazed (fitted in 2011 by Mozolowski & Murray), a new Worchester Bosch boiler was fitted in 2023 and the accessible areas of the ground floor have been insulated with Thermafleece sheep’s wool.
The beautifully landscaped walled rear garden with large patio, mature trees, shrubs and period summerhouse has been immaculately maintained. There is a double detached garage with electric door. The Monoblock driveway with gated access was replaced in 2014 and the front garden is also in excellent order. Simpson & Marwick anticipate this property will be a popular choice for many, so early viewing is highly recommended.
