Handsome three storey Victorian family home with fine period detail.

Description

20 Murrayfield Avenue is an impressive mid terrace stone built Victorian family house. The property is well presented and offers spacious, flexible and comfortable accommodation arranged over three floors. With both east and west facing aspects, the property benefits from an abundance of natural light, enhanced by the sizeable cupola over the impressive stair. The property successfully retains a variety of delightful original period features, which include the impressive timber stair, delightful plasterwork and cornicing, and stripped timber flooring. The accommodation is ideally suited to a family with superb living and reception space on the ground and first floors, complemented five double bedrooms arranged over the ground, first and second floors.

The front door opens to an entrance vestibule and beyond to the hall, from where the ground floor accommodation is accessed and the stair rises to the upper floors. To the front of the house is the billiards room, which could also be used as a sitting room or dining room. It is a delightful and bright room with a bay window overlooking the front garden. To the rear of the main part of the house is a spacious double bedroom, as well as a family room, both facing west and looking towards the colourful garden. From the family room, there is access to the utility room and on to the superb conservatory. Here there is underfloor heating making it usable throughout the year and with a delightful outlook over the garden, it benefits from south and west sunlight. A stair rises from the utility room to the former maid's room, which is used principally for storage currently but could be a sixth bedroom or home office if required. In addition to ample storage cupboards, there is also a shower room on the ground floor.

At first floor level, there is a particularly fine drawing room with delightful plasterwork and a bay window giving plenty of light. The well-appointed breakfasting kitchen is set to the back of the house with the dining room adjacent, while there is also a study to the front. The stair continues to the upper floor, where there are four spacious double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, and a family bathroom, as well as further storage cupboards.

The house is set well back from the road and is approached by a gated stone path with an easily maintained yet colourful and well stocked front garden. To the rear of the property there is a delightful west facing walled garden. There is a wide variety of plants, shrubs and fruit trees providing plenty of colour during the warmer months. To the rear of the garden there is a green house and garden shed.
