90a Findhorn Place represents a rarely available beautiful family home, with fantastic, versatile accommodation and a private garden, all within one of Edinburgh's most sought-after locations.
Entered via a communal door shared with just one other property, a vestibule with original floor tiling leads to the villa’s own private vestibule, which affords access to an L-shaped hall. Here, crisp-white walls, detailed plasterwork, cornicing and stripped, original floorboards give the first glimpse of the immaculate presentation and period features to follow. On your left, you step into a magnificent living room. A wonderfully bright and spacious atmosphere is created by a soaring high ceiling adorned with elaborate cornicing and a large southerly-facing bay window with working shutters. Attractive painted floorboards, a striking grey fireplace with a period insert, and an Edinburgh Press add character to the room, which offers flexibility for endless furniture arrangements. Continuing along the hall, you reach two of the home’s four double bedrooms and a shower room. The bedrooms both continue the crisp-white décor, original flooring, and delightful cornicing, along with recessed sash and case windows with working shutters, and Edinburgh Press cupboards. The shower room adds a contemporary element to the home, with partial metro wall tiling, a corner cubicle with a rainfall showerhead, a basin set into storage, and a WC.
Descending the stairs to the lower-ground floor, you reach a further L-shaped hall with a handy cloak cupboard and built-in storage. Accessed from here is a kitchen, the two remaining double bedrooms, and a bathroom. Enjoying identical generous dimensions, a bay window, and the same leafy outlook as the living room, the kitchen incorporates both a breakfast bar and space for a large dining table and chairs. Arranged around the central breakfasting island is a selection of cream-coloured, country-style cabinets, accompanied by handsome wood worktops, a Butler sink, metro-tiled splashbacks, and a rich engineered oak floor. The kitchen is replete with appliances and a utility room across the hall houses a washing machine and tumble dryer. The bedrooms both enjoy the same white décor as the rest of the property, accompanied by resilient engineered oak floors, and enjoy a peaceful garden-facing aspect. One also incorporates built-in storage, whilst the other affords access to the rear garden and could alternatively be used as a family room. Finally, the bathroom, which is similarly styled to the shower room, completes the accommodation. The home is heated by a gas central heating system, with vintage reconditioned cast-iron radiators in all rooms.
Outside, the villa boasts its own private rear garden, walled for privacy and security and therefore reassuring for children and pets. The garden features a lawn with raised plant beds, and a decked dining terrace with incorporated seating and planters. Parking on Findhorn Place falls under Priority Parking Area B1.
