Giardini DI Murrayfield, Murrayfield, Edimburgo, Midlothian

76 Murrayfield Gardens is a stupendous terraced family home occupying a prime position within one of Edinburgh’s most prestigious residential addresses. Having been comprehensively renovated and remodelled by the current owners, the property seamlessly combines elegant period architecture with beautifully executed contemporary interiors, creating a home of remarkable quality that is presented in immaculate, move-in ready condition throughout.

Approached through a charming mature front garden with gated access, a pathway leads to the handsome entrance where a welcoming vestibule opens into an impressive reception hall. Beautiful checkerboard tiled flooring immediately sets the tone, while a thoughtfully designed cloakroom provides practical storage for coats and shoes.

Positioned to the front of the ground floor is the elegant sitting room; a wonderfully inviting space centred around a wood-burning stove set within an impressive fireplace. Rich wall panelling, intricate original cornicing and a large bay window combine to create a room that is equally suited to relaxed family evenings or entertaining guests.

To the rear lies the true heart of the home: a magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. Designed with modern family life in mind, this outstanding space enjoys direct access to the rear garden through glazed doors, allowing indoor and outdoor living to blend effortlessly. The bespoke kitchen is beautifully appointed with extensive cabinetry, premium integrated appliances and an impressive Lacanche range cooker. A substantial central island provides both additional preparation space and informal seating, while a cleverly designed pantry and bar area offers further storage and makes entertaining effortless.

Beyond the kitchen is a practical utility room with direct access to the garden. Completing this floor is a conveniently positioned WC.

A staircase from the kitchen leads to the former maid’s room, now arranged as an excellent home office. This highly versatile room would also make an ideal fifth bedroom, nursery, studio or additional snug depending upon individual requirements.

Returning to the hallway, the principal staircase ascends to the first floor where the outstanding drawing room occupies the entire width at the front of the house. This magnificent reception room enjoys exceptional proportions, a handsome bay window, intricate cornicing and a working fireplace, creating an elegant setting for entertaining or quieter evenings with family.

To the rear is the superb principal bedroom suite overlooking the rear garden. Calm and beautifully presented, the room benefits from a luxurious marble-clad en suite bathroom featuring both a separate bath and walk-in shower. A particularly charming feature is a concealed doorway leading from the bedroom directly to the former maid’s room, allowing it to function equally well as a dressing room, if required - a delightful detail that gives the house real character.

The staircase continues to the second floor where a striking cupola floods the landing with natural light. This level offers four further generous double bedrooms together with a beautifully appointed family shower room, providing exceptionally flexible accommodation for growing families or visiting guests.

Externally, the gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to create distinct areas for relaxation and entertaining. Immediately outside the kitchen is a generous patio, perfectly positioned for al fresco dining and summer barbecues. Beyond lies a level lawn ideal for children to play, while at the foot of the garden a further paved terrace enjoys the evening sun and provides a wonderfully private spot to relax at the end of the day.

Throughout the house, meticulous attention has been paid to every detail of the renovation, carefully preserving the property’s beautiful period features - including ornate cornicing, fireplaces and generous proportions - while introducing high-quality contemporary finishes and modern conveniences. The result is a truly outstanding family home, offering elegant accommodation of over 3,300 sq ft in one of Edinburgh’s most desirable residential locations.
