House For Sale £900,000
Delightful semi-detached Victorian house with many fine period features now requiring modernisation
Description
7 Queen's Crescent is a delightful semi-detached Victorian family home set over ground and first floors. The property benefits from both south and north aspects allowing for plenty of natural light throughout the day. The property retains much of its original charm with a variety of period features including the delightful plasterwork, stone stair with wrought iron balustrade, marble mantelpieces and Victorian tiled vestibule and hallway. While the property offers generously proportioned accommodation throughout it would now benefit from some modernising and presents a superb opportunity to create an excellent family home ideally suited to modern living.
The front door leads to an entrance vestibule which opens to a welcoming 'L' shaped hallway. From here there is access to the principal family living and reception rooms with the impressive stair rising to the first floor. The elegant bay windowed sitting room is situated at the front of the property and has an impressive black marble mantelpiece. To the rear of the house is a family room/study or fifth bedroom with the dining room adjacent. The kitchen is situated at the west side of the house and has a useful utility room set behind it, accessed from the dining room, and from where the garden is accessed.
The delightful stair rises up to the first floor where there is an impressive drawing room which is currently used as the principal bedroom. In addition there are three further very comfortable double bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is plenty of useful storage throughout the house.
The house sits well back from the quiet road with a mature hedge providing excellent screening and privacy. A gated stone path leads to the front door while there is an easily maintained front garden with a variety of mature plants, shrubs and trees providing superb colour for much of the year. To the rear of the house there is a delightful walled garden which again has a variety of mature plants, shrubs and trees in the beds surrounding the central lawn. To the rear of the property there is gated access onto East Mayfield.
Location
Queen's Crescent is a charming neighbourhood of family houses in a tranquil location about 1.5 miles from the Royal Mile.
Lying within the Waverley Park Conservation area there is good local shopping nearby as well as an excellent choice of schools including James Gillespie's, for which the house lies within catchment, as well as George Heriot’s and George Watson's.
The property is also very convenient for The University of Edinburgh and the Royal Infirmary at Little France.
Recreational facilities within a couple of miles include Holyrood Park, The Royal Commonwealth pool and golf courses at Prestonfield and Duddingston.
Proprietors are able to access to Waverley Gardens with a modest annual payment to cover maintenance, with gated access across the road.
Square Footage: 2,588 sq ft
