Splendid, architect designed detached villa of immense style, set within generous landscaped gardens in pleasant, sought after area.

 

A rare opportunity has arisen to acquire a truly outstanding family home, enviably situated in a peaceful residential street within mature landscaped private gardens. Built in 2009 to exacting standards, the property boasts a beautifully proportioned, sumptuous interior of light filled rooms, immaculately finished off with superior quality fittings and fixtures throughout. Extensive use has been made of natural materials such as Travertine stone flooring, decorative tiled finishes, solid oak floors and doors. Exquisite designer wall coverings and neutral tone carpeting complete the look.

 

At ground floor level, four generously proportioned public rooms provide excellent flexible living space; the sitting and dining rooms have bay windows to the front, whilst the family and sun rooms allow direct access to the rear garden. The stunning breakfasting kitchen is stylish, yet practical, with clean, modern lines. Plenty of storage space is provided by way of striking black high gloss fitted units, complemented by granite work surfaces, including an island unit suitable for breakfasting. Virtually every modern comfort has been catered for, with built-in coffee machine, wine cooler, twin fridges and freezers, microwave, dishwasher, stainless steel range style cooker and extractor hood. Situated off the main kitchen is a utility kitchen with double ceramic sink, halogen hob, electric oven, extractor hood, washing machine and tumble dryer. In addition, there is a fully tiled shower-room off the Hall.

 

An elegant, bespoke solid oak staircase set with pin-lights sweeps up to the upper landing, where a seating area is framed by a half moon window. Five large double bedrooms are provided, fitted with lovely solid oak wardrobes, with the exception of the master which has a superb walk-in dressing-room/wardrobe. The two front facing bedrooms each have French windows accessing a balcony. The master bedroom’s en-suite is beautifully equipped, including a double ended jacuzzi style bath with “mood” lighting and ornate tiling to the walls. The guest bedroom also benefits from an en-suite facility. A special attraction is the fabulous family bathroom, comprising a luxury suite of large bath with hand-held shower attachment, shower cubicle with jet spray shower, hand-held attachment, drench head and seat, and twin wash-hand basins.

 

The property is fitted with gas fired under-floor heating, double glazed windows, security alarm, a home entertainment system with surround sound and CAT5 cabling. A large loft provides useful storage space.

 

Access into the fully enclosed grounds is by way of a security video entry system and two full height remote controlled gates set into the sandstone boundary wall. To the front, a planted bed borders the tarmac drive, which provides plenty of off-street parking. The single attached garage with power and light has a sectioned off storage area to the rear and remote controlled up-and-over doors front and rear. The superb, child friendly rear garden is arranged over two levels; an attractive paved area close to the house and a raised lawn bordered by beds featuring a wide variety of matures bushes, shrubs and trees, including a tree house for children to play in.

 

The subjects are located in the prestigious Barnton area of Edinburgh, which lies to the north west of the City Centre. The property is well positioned to take advantage of an excellent range of shopping outlets in the vicinity, with the impressive Craigleith Retail Park, which includes a Sainsbury’s Superstore, just a short drive away. Further amenities can be found at the Gyle Complex and the City Centre itself, both of which are easily accessible. Schooling is well represented from nursery to senior level. The banks of the River Almond and nearby Cramond Beach offer the opportunity of leisurely walks, whilst the Cramond Inn is popular for drinks and a bite to eat. An efficient public transport network operates to most parts of the town and surrounding areas. The City Bypass and main motorway networks are also within easy reach.
