The property

Nestled on exclusive Granby Road in highly-regarded Newington, and within the Craigmillar Park Conservation Area, this three-bedroom ground floor property is a stunning period home with idyllic, expansive private gardens, the likes of which are rarely available on the market. The property has been owned by the same family for thirty years, and has recently undergone significant modernisation and reconfiguration to create a third bedroom and a new dining kitchen, whilst preserving the authentic charm of a classic Victorian home. Approached via the immaculate front garden and shared pathway, which leads to the crisp-white traditional front door and a shared vestibule, welcoming you into the property is a spectacular ‘L’ shaped reception hall floored in solid hardwood. As you continue along the hall, on the right is a charming arched recess with an under-stair cupboard, which would make an ideal cloakroom or study area. Around the corner at the very end of the hall is the magnificent living room, which is flooded with southwesterly light from a splendid bay window with a glazed door onto the suntrap patio. This most elegant space has retained original features such as decorative cornicing and timber panelling, while the exquisite neo-classical fireplace is equipped with a rustic wood-burning stove and flanked by an Edinburgh Press. Returning to the hall, and Inspired by a traditional farmhouse kitchen, the homely dining kitchen adjacent is lined with contemporary grey-green Shaker cabinets framed by oak worktops, and is replete with a full range of integrated appliances. The dining kitchen easily accommodates a large table for family meals and entertaining, and there are two doors leading off the room: one conceals a back staircase up to the third bedroom, which benefits from a built-in cupboard. The other leads into an inner hallway that accommodates a back door to the garden and the second bedroom, which boasts dual-aspect windows and a useful built-in cupboard. The luxurious master bedroom is positioned at the front of the property and is characterised by another vast bay window and an Edinburgh Press. Completing the accommodation is the modern three-piece bathroom, which is immaculately presented in neutral tones and features a shower-over bath with a glass screen. The property benefits from a combination of original (single-glazed) and reproduction (double-glazed) sash-and-case windows, as well as gas central heating powered by a new energy-efficient combi boiler. Both the front and rear gardens are private to the property, and are afforded outstanding seclusion by established hedges, mature trees and stone boundary walls. The enchanting rear garden in particular enjoys a favourable southwesterly aspect and has been beautifully landscaped to include a suntrap patio, terraced flowerbeds and a vast drying green with a garden shed. Residents’ permit parking (B6) and free unrestricted parking is available on Granby Road. Newington is regarded as one of the most favoured and sought-after residential neighbourhoods in Edinburgh, just south of the City Centre. The area is renowned for its excellent variety of specialist shops, together with some of Edinburgh’s finest bars, bistros and restaurants and has a wide range of local amenities nearby. Within easy reach is more comprehensive shopping at Cameron Toll Shopping Centre, as are a number of other retail parks all within a short drive or bus journey. The local area provides excellent schooling for all ages, being close to both local authority and private educational establishments. Both the University of Edinburgh King’s Buildings complex and the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary are close by. HOME REPORT £460,000. EPC BAND D.
