4 bedroom house for sale

Overview

Particularly elegant four bedroom Georgian house in delightful mature grounds of just under 0.25 acres DescriptionGrecian Cottage is a particularly elegant Georgian house set in delightful, mature and incredibly private grounds extending to just under 0.25 acres. The property appears to be single storey from the front, with Doric columns surrounding the entrance providing a perfect symmetry to the front of the building. The accommodation is set over both ground and lower ground floor levels, and with south and north aspects, there is plenty of natural light throughout the day. The property has been sensitively and extensively modernised by the current owners to cater beautifully for modern family living, and yet the contemporary fixtures and fittings fit seamlessly with the many original period features. These features include delicate plasterwork, astragal windows and a charming cupola over the central hallway.The front door opens to the vestibule and onwards to the welcoming hallway from where the principal family living and reception rooms are located. To one side lies the elegant drawing room which has been opened to the snug/study, creating a wonderfully light-filled room with windows to the north and south. Likewise, the dining room, which sits to the other side of the hall, is open to the beautifully appointed Charles Yorke American walnut kitchen, and again benefits from windows to both the front and rear of the property. There is access from both the kitchen and the drawing room to a rear hallway which opens into the wonderful conservatory with doors opening to the garden.The stair leads down to the lower ground floor level where there are four comfortable bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, while the others are served by the family bathroom. One of the bedrooms is currently used as an additional family room, demonstrating the flexibility of the accommodation. To the rear of this level is the utility room with doors at either end leading outside and giving access to the outdoor shower.The house is set well back from the quiet road and sits behind a mature but easily maintained front garden. There are two sets of gates, with one at either side of the front wall forming a horseshoe driveway. A pathway leads down the western gable of the house to the detached garage which benefits from planning permission to convert into a self-contained garden office or further accommodation with WC and shower facilities. The garden to the rear is superb. There is a large central lawn surrounded by mature trees giving a wonderful sense of privacy and there is a real sense of being in the country despite it's city location. The garden is set into different parts with an additional shed at the end of the garden which could easily be a garden office. The current owners have installed an outdoor shower and the Hotsprings hot tub is ideal to relax and enjoy this special garden.Historic NoteGrecian Cottage is part of the original feuing of Trinity Mains Farm by lawyer Alexander Scott, built during the early 1820's, and it appears on Wood's 1826 map of Leith.
