The property

Boasting four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a generous reception room, a breakfasting kitchen, and a study, as well as beautiful period features and some modern fixtures and fittings, this main-door double upper villa forms part of a handsome traditional building on sought-after Oswald Road in the desirable Grange area of Edinburgh. Tucked away from the road behind a walled and gated driveway, screened by leafy trees, the property enjoys a private position and the front door, approached via external stairs, opens into a vestibule where a short internal staircase takes you to a first-floor hall. At the end of the hall, you reach an impressive reception room, spanning the entire width of the property and offering wonderfully flexible floorspace for furniture configurations catering for both relaxation and dining. The room is flooded with natural light through twin south-facing windows and neutral décor paired with a high ceiling (ornamented by elegant cornicing) further enhance the airy ambience. Returning back through the hall, a charming arched door leads into a kitchen where modern, wood-inspired cabinetry adds a contemporary element to the home and is accompanied by plentiful workspace and a sociable breakfast bar. Completing the first floor are one of the four bedrooms on offer and a shower room. The bedroom, an airy double, enjoys a leafy outlook and features neutral décor and a decorative fireplace, whilst the tiled shower room comprises a large enclosure with a rainfall showerhead, a contemporary basin, and a WC. A sweeping staircase with ornate iron balustrades leads to an airy landing on the second floor (with a grand cupola, built-in storage, and space for furniture), which in turn affords access to the remaining three bedrooms and a study. The sunny, dual-aspect master bedroom boasts six arched windows with impressive surrounds and hill views and offers plenty of space for furniture. The remaining double also features a fireplace, whilst the single bedroom shares the master's sunny aspect and scenic outlook. The study accommodates built-in storage and could alternatively be utilised as a dressing room. A bathroom (accessed from a split-level landing) completes the accommodation and comprises a bathtub with a rainfall showerhead and a curved, glazed screen, a WC-suite, and a mirrored vanity cabinet. Externally, the villa benefits from a double garage (part of a shared garage).
