82 Murrayfield Gardens is a handsome five-bedroom Victorian terraced house, peacefully positioned at the top end of a quiet street in the heart of Murrayfield. This much-loved family home offers extremely well-proportioned accommodation over three levels, with a delightful private rear garden, charming period features and a garage on nearby Ormidale Terrace.
Set back behind a neat front garden, the property opens into a traditional entrance vestibule and welcoming hallway, where original Victorian floor tiles, ornate cornicing and timber detailing immediately establish the character of the home. To the front, the elegant dining room is filled with natural light from a large bay window and features an original fireplace with tiled insert and an Edinburgh press. To the rear, a cosy family room with open fire overlooks the garden and provides a flexible living space. The wonderful breakfasting kitchen is positioned off the main hall and is fitted with shaker-style units, granite worktops and a traditional AGA. A utility room—with adjoining WC and boiler cupboard—offers direct access to the garden patio. Just off the kitchen, up a small flight of stairs, is what was formerly the maid’s room, now a perfect home office.
The staircase, with its beautiful carved banister and overhead cupola, leads to the first floor, where an impressive drawing room features a lovely open fire, built-in cabinetry and shelving. The principal bedroom is also on this level, along with the family bathroom. On the top floor, there are four further double bedrooms, each full of character, with the front rooms enjoying pleasant views towards the Pentland Hills. A second bathroom with three-piece suite and overhead shower serves this level.
The rear garden is a real highlight of the home, offering excellent privacy and a peaceful setting. Beautifully maintained, it features a generous paved seating area, a centrally positioned greenhouse, a garden shed, outdoor store, and a striking wisteria climbing the rear boundary wall and fence. A single garage on nearby Ormidale Terrace provides secure off-street parking or useful storage.
The property benefits from gas central heating and single glazed sash and case windows.
