Description
Abinger Gardens is a handsome stone built family home retaining many period features typical of the era in which it was built. The house is well-proportioned throughout offering comfortable, spacious and free-flowing accommodation set over three floors. With both north and south facing aspects the house benefits from plenty of natural light throughout the day. The house caters beautifully for modern family living, with particular features of the house including the open plan dining kitchen, the elegant drawing room and comfortable sitting room.
The front door opens to a broad and welcoming hall from where the principal living space radiates and the stair rises to the upper floors. To the front lies the family sitting room, while to the rear of the house is the impressive and beautifully appointed open plan dining kitchen with utility room behind. A stair rises to the former maid's room, which makes an excellent study or gym.
The reception space continues on the first floor with an elegant bay windowed drawing room while also on this floor are two generous double bedrooms and the family bathroom. There are two further comfortable double bedrooms on the upper floor as well as a spacious dressing room leading to a shower room, as well as an additional shower room. There are spectacular southerly views to the Pentland Hills from the principal bedroom which also benefits from a door opening to a balcony atop the bay window below.
The house is approached by a gated stone path and is set back from the road by a delightful and easily maintained terraced front garden. Immediately to the rear of the house is a large patio with a generous seating area and a useful garden shed. Stone steps rise to the principal part of the garden which is laid principally to lawn. The garden has colourful borders, well stocked with a variety of mature plants and shrubs, offering colour for much of the year.
