Saughtonhall Drive

Murrayfield, Edinburgh, EH12

Tenure: Freehold

A stylishly updated 1930s property that represents a perfect family home with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, welcoming living room, and social open-plan family room within an impressive extension. Adding further appeal are sunny enclosed gardens, private parking, and an exclusive suburban address within easy reach of the city centre.

This attractive end-terraced house sits along a tree-lined avenue in sought-after Murrayfield, just three miles from the heart of Edinburgh. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence has been extended to incorporate open-plan living and tastefully modernised whilst retaining its 1930s charm. The perfect family home is accompanied by a gated driveway (with an electric charging point) and a secure east-facing garden.

Inviting entrance hall – showcases the stylish finish to follow

Behind the front door is a subtly decorated hall benefiting from handy storage and an engineered oak floor that continues seamlessly into the kitchen. 

Open-plan dining kitchen and family room – the social heart of the home

The kitchen’s elegant décor and plentiful glazing create a wonderfully bright and airy ambience in this fantastic social space. A central seated dining area flows into a vaulted family space, which is filled with natural light from triple skylights and bi-fold doors that open onto the rear garden, extending the room on summer days.

The high-end kitchen has an enduring Shaker-inspired design, with sage cabinets and a solid oak worktop, which is downlit and offset by chic metro tilework. A deep Belfast sink and a stainless-steel range cooker (with a chimney-style hood) add focal character, while a semi-integrated American-style fridge freezer and a fully integrated dishwasher complete the space. The kitchen has garden access and is adjoined by a practical modern utility room, discreetly accommodating an under-counter freezer and washing machine.

Living room – a cosy additional living area

Also on the ground level is a bay-fronted living room adorned with classic ceiling details. Its rich navy décor, natural pine finishes (including original flooring), and homely log burner create an exceptionally cosy atmosphere — ideal as a separate playroom, fourth bedroom or an elegant sitting area for the grown-ups!

Light and airy bedrooms – equipped with useful storage

A naturally lit staircase from the hall rises to an upper landing with fitted carpeting throughout. The landing leads to three double bedrooms, comfortably carpeted and decorated in calming muted tones, with retained picture rails adding period elegance. Each room has built-in storage, and the rear-facing bedroom promises rooftop views towards the iconic Murrayfield Stadium. 

A modern bathroom on each level – convenience for busy family living

On the ground floor, a bright shower room allows easy access to a WC. It is stylishly appointed in a contemporary design and includes underfloor heating. The first floor hosts a bright bathroom with a shower-over-bath and understated neutral tiling.

Enclosed gardens – with mature planting

To the front, a lawn framed by neat hedgerows adds curb appeal, while the secure rear garden is safe for family recreation. It is attractively landscaped with leafy shrubbery, fruit trees, a lawn, and a large dining terrace. There is a shed for external storage and an outdoor tap to the side.

Private parking – a gated driveway with an electric charging point

A gated driveway ensures off-street parking with an electric charging point, while additional unrestricted parking is available on the street.

Extras: The sale includes fitted flooring and the integrated dishwasher. All other appliances, window coverings and light fittings are available by separate negotiation. 

This property is being sold on behalf of a Northwood employee.
