The property

Set on exclusive Gamekeeper’s Road and with lovely views over Bruntsfield Links Golfing Society, this grand semi-detached villa is the epitome of luxurious, modern family living. Arranged over three levels, the unique home strikes a stylish balance of period charm and contemporary design, and boasts idyllic private gardens, substantial off-street parking and a sun-drenched roof terrace with tremendous views. Approached via the gated three-vehicle driveway and a charming south-facing garden. A double-height entrance hall, presented in a chic palette of grey and white welcomes you. Rich timber-effect flooring leads you through the hall (passing a contemporary WC) to the open-plan living area, which is bathed in light from dual-aspect windows and a large skylight. The living/dining room is a veritable blank canvass that would lend itself to endless configurations, and enjoys patio doors onto the rear garden. At the southern end of the room, the designer kitchen is lined with an array of gloss-alabaster handleless cabinets paired with coordinating quartz worktops, and is replete with a range of Neff integrated appliances. Ascending the traditional staircase, the first floor landing is flooded with natural light from full-height windows and sliding glazed doors onto the wonderful roof terrace, which yields panoramic views across the golf course. The landing flows into the warm and homely hall, and to the formal reception room: the elegant drawing room. This multi-aspect space is characterised by a striking turret window, and features a splendid Regency-style fireplace, complete with a sumptuous marble surround and hearth, a gleaming brass smoke hood and a living-flame gas fire. The first floor also accommodates a south-facing master bedroom with twin built-in wardrobes and a large en-suite bathroom, plus a second south-facing double bedroom, a third double bedroom, a well-proportioned single bedroom/ study, and a pristine three-piece shower room. Continuing upstairs onto the second floor, the upper landing incorporates a convenient WC, a deep storage cupboard, and two good-sized double bedrooms with dual skylights, built-in storage and views over the Firth of Forth towards Fife. Zoned gas central heating and double glazing throughout ensure optimum home comfort and efficiency all year round. Cramond is a much sought after residential area on the north-western outskirts of the City, sitting at the mouth of the River Almond. Dating back over 2000 years, this historic village, has remains of a Roman Fort and a pretty 17th century Kirk. The River Almond and Cramond Beach offer the opportunity of leisurely walks and the local Cramond Inn is popular for a drink and a bite to eat. £725,000. EPC BAND C.
