The property

Nestled on ultra-exclusive Comiston Rise in leafy Comiston, this luxurious three-bedroom detached villa has been thoughtfully designed to fit harmoniously into the natural landscape, resulting in a unique family home with an exceptional feeling of privacy, seclusion and oneness with nature. Stylish, pared-back interiors compliment the magnificent internal proportions and light, while the grounds have been beautifully landscaped to create an enchanting outdoor space that is sheltered and screened by mature trees. The villa is positioned at the end of Comiston Rise – a small cul-de-sac of just a handful of luxury homes – and is accessed via a secure gate onto the sweeping driveway. Three steps lead up to welcoming canopy porch and from here the handsome front door swings opens to reveal a grand reception hall. To the front, the vast living room boasts a charming south-facing bay window and offers a wealth of flexible space around the inset living-flame gas fire. Also on the ground floor are a double bedroom with built-in mirrored wardrobes; a versatile home office/study; a convenient two-piece WC; and two storage cupboards. Ascending to the first floor, the mid-landing features a utility cupboard and leads into th spectacular dining kitchen. The space is flooded with light from triple-aspect windows, including twin sets of patio doors onto the south-facing front patio and rear garden respectively, as well as wide windows to the south and east. Designed for modern family life and entertaining, the room falls naturally into dedicated cooking and dining zones, and extends effortlessly into the beautiful outdoor living areas. The kitchen includes modern solid oak units with selected stainless steel drawer fronts to give a contemporary look. It also offers extensive hidden storage and workspace, and houses a range of integrated and freestanding appliances, including: a five-burner gas hob with a ceiling mounted extractor hood, an electric double oven, a microwave oven, a warming drawer, a dishwasher and an American-style fridge/freezer. The dining area easily accommodates a large refectory table, and in the warmer months the south-facing patio provides a wonderful spot for breakfast, morning coffee or lunch al fresco. Continuing upstairs again, the upper landing is bathed in light from a south-facing skylight and allows scope for a relaxed reading corner. The second double bedroom enjoys built-in mirrored wardrobes and use of the immaculate four-piece family bathroom. Gas central heating, electric underfloor heating (in the dining kitchen, family bathroom and en-suite) and double glazing ensure yearround comfort and efficiency. The enclosed plot is afforded exceptional seclusion and shelter by established trees and dense shrubs, and is equipped with external lighting circuits and two outdoor taps. To the front is a gated driveway that comfortably holds four vehicles; extending to the front, side and rear are enchanting terraced gardens that have been landscaped to include a chippeddrying area and a patio/barbecue area that is perfectly positioned to soak up the afternoon and evening sun. A substantial shed also provides external storage for bikes, golf clubs and garden furniture.
