House For Sale £860,000
Particularly charming Georgian family home with five double bedrooms, superb living space and a delightful garden
Description
Upper Gray Street is a wonderfully charming Georgian family home offering bright, spacious and beautifully presented accommodation over ground, first and second floors. With both east and west facing aspects there is an abundance of natural light throughout the day, further enhanced by the skylight above the upper stair. Having been modernised and refurbished to a high specification in recent times, the property is ideally suited to modern family living, yet successfully blends the many contemporary fixtures and fittings with a variety of charming original period features. These features include the working shutters, astragal windows, marble mantelpiece in the sitting room, original stone stair with mahogany bannister and wrought iron balustrades as well as the delicate plasterwork.
The front door opens to an entrance vestibule and into the hallway from where the principal living accommodation is accessed and the stair rises to the upper floors. To the front of the property is a delightful west facing sitting room while to the rear is a spectacular open plan kitchen, dining room and family room. The kitchen is white gloss and very practical in its design, while there are two outshoots accessed from here, one of which is a utility room and the other is a study. Also on this floor is a shower room.
The drawing room is on the first floor and is a particularly elegant room, with the fifth bedroom being accessed through it. It could also be used as a generous double bedroom, with the fifth bedroom becoming a dressing room or home office. There are two further comfortable double bedrooms as well as a well-appointed family bathroom on this floor, while on the second floor there are two further double bedrooms, a shower room and an excellent storage cupboard.
The house is set back from the road and is accessed via a gated stone path. The garden to the rear has been recently landscaped with a newly pointed stone wall surrounding, making it incredibly private. There is a useful play area to the rear of the lawn, as well as a stone terrace well-positioned to take advantage of the afternoon sunshine. There are also productive fruit trees.
Location
Upper Gray Street is a charming neighbourhood of family houses in a tranquil location just over 1 mile from the Royal Mile, set within the highly sought-after Blacket Conservation Area.
There is good local shopping within a mile of the property as well as an excellent choice of schools including Preston Street Primary School and James Gillespie's, for which the house lies within catchment, as well as George Heriot's and George Watson's on the south side of the city.
The property is also conveniently located for The University of Edinburgh and the Royal Infirmary at Little France.
Recreational facilities within the local area include Holyrood Park, The Royal Commonwealth pool, Priestfield tennis courts and golf courses at both Prestonfield and Duddingston.
The City Bypass is around 2 miles way providing access to Edinburgh International Airport and the motorway links to the north and south.
Additional Info

Fixtures and Fittings - All fitted carpets, curtains, light fittings and integrated white goods are included in the sale.
