The property

Located in the exclusive Murrays development in sought-after Liberton, this modern detached villa represents the perfect family home, with tasteful décor throughout, four bedrooms, multiple versatile reception areas and two bathrooms, plus a vast, south-facing garden, an attached single garage and a tandem driveway. The villa instantly endears with its natural stone façade, traditional pantile roof and canopy porch, conveying a warm, homely feel which continues inside. On opening the front door, a light and airy hallway (with a handy ground-floor WC and built-in storage) welcomes you inside and affords access to the spacious living room. Extended by a charming bay window and enjoying tasteful, neutral décor framed by elegant coving and immaculate carpeting, this wonderful reception area offers flexible floor space for a variety of comfortable furniture layouts. Across the hall, a sunny, contemporary kitchen awaits. Sleek white cabinets line two walls of the room and are supplemented by spacious wood-effect worktops, downlighting and stylish grey metro tiling, as well as an impressive selection of integrated appliances; namely an electric oven, a sleek hob, an ultramodern extractor hood, a fridge freezer and a dishwasher. This leaves plenty of room for a dining table and chairs – perfect for informal weeknight dining and busy morning breakfasts! A separate utility room (with external access) houses further fitted cabinetry and is plumbed for laundry appliances.
