28b Liberton Brae, Edinburgh, EH16 6AF

This generous double upper villa forms part of a handsome detached sandstone house in the popular South Edinburgh district of Liberton. Offering attractive open views and flexible accommodation over two floors, the property is conveniently placed for access to the city centre, Edinburgh University King’s Buildings and the Royal Infirmary at Little France.

A private maindoor entrance at ground floor level (to the left of the building) leads to an entrance hallway with useful cloakroom storage space, door to the back garden, and stairs rising to the first floor. From the first floor hallway the impressive proportions of the property are immediately apparent, with wonderful high ceilings creating a light and airy feel throughout the home. The bay windowed reception room to the front of the property enjoys a view towards Arthur’s Seat and has an abundance of attractive period features including working window shutters, stripped wood flooring, ornate cornices and a pale marble fireplace housing a living flame gas fire. The kitchen/breakfast room is located to the rear of the property and enjoys an open view towards Liberton Tower. There is an excellent range of wall and base units with integrated oven, microwave, dishwasher, a 5-burner hob and cooker hood. There are two bedrooms on the first floor; the large twin windowed principal bedroom to the front and bedroom 4 to the rear which is currently in use as a formal dining room, both with working window shutters. The family bathroom has a window to the front and is fitted with a stylish white suite including a freestanding bath. Stairs from the hallway with understair storage lead to the upper floor which enjoys wonderful open views. There are two further double bedrooms and a dressing room/study which could easily be converted to an additional bathroom if desired (subject to consents). The property benefits from gas central heating throughout.

Of particular note is the attractively landscaped private garden which is located to the rear of the property and directly accessed via the entrance hallway. There are patio and suntrap decking areas providing the ideal setting for relaxing or al fresco dining during the warmer months. A separate clothes drying area has been thoughtfully screened with a fence. Ample free on street parking is available directly opposite the property or on neighbouring streets.
