Entrance – A wonderful introduction

Facing the rear garden, the living room provides a sumptuous reception space, enhanced by an elegant palette of neutral hues and a picture rail. It sees lots of natural light from a southeast-facing bay window, and is framed by a handsome feature fireplace, which forms a lovely focal point for the arrangement of furniture.

Upstairs, the first-floor attic has been converted into a versatile family room that can be used creatively to suit the needs of the owner. It has access to generous eaves storage and dual-aspect Velux windows, which frame far-reaching rooftop views to the iconic Edinburgh Castle.

Kitchen – A large dining kitchen with a double-height ceiling

The dining kitchen has generous proportions and a double-height ceiling, which enhances the sense of space.

There is plenty of space for a family-sized table and chairs; plus, it comes well-appointed with an excellent choice of timber-toned cabinets and a complementary worksurface. The modern look is finished by undercabinet lighting and premium splashback tiling. A five-burner gas hob and eye-level oven/grill are integrated, with space for additional freestanding appliances.
