Immaculately presented and generously proportioned detached family home in a much sought after area Description 5 Barnton Brae is a sizeable, immaculately presented family home set in mature and private grounds. The property offers superb family living and reception space, with a seamless flow around the ground floor, centred on the kitchen which sits in the middle of the house. With aspects predominantly to the south and north, the house is wonderfully bright throughout the day. Double doors open from a raised entrance to the welcoming reception hall with further double doors opening to the wonderfully light and impressive sitting room, with delightful outlook over the front garden grounds. The room wraps around the eastern gable of the house with a library area leading through to the charming conservatory. It also links to the elegant dining room, which is also connected to the conservatory, as well as leading through to the beautifully appointed kitchen. The conservatory offers a charming outlook of the rear garden, and is well positioned for the morning and later afternoon sunshine. It has double doors opening to the rear garden also, as does the kitchen, making the garden easily accessible and providing a great flow between the main reception rooms and the outdoors, ideal for entertaining. The utility room extends from the kitchen, and on to the family room/TV room, which can also be accessed from the front reception hall. This less formal space is incredibly comfortable and again benefits from views to the front garden. Bi-folding doors open to the quite brilliant galleried gym, which could also be used as a studio. It is an exceptionally bright and airy room with a curved stair rising to two self-contained bedrooms (one of which has a kitchenette) and shower room, ideal for teenage children, or as nanny accommodation. The main stair rises from the inner hall to the upper landing where the principal bedroom accommodation is situated. The principal suite spans from the front to the back of the house with a particularly generous bedroom with a wonderful south facing balcony off. To the rear is the en suite shower room as well as a dressing room. There are three further double bedrooms at this level, as well as a bathroom and a shower room. There is also very useful storage in the attic above. Double electric gates open from Barnton Brae to the wonderfully private grounds, with a tarmac driveway leading to the front of the house as well as the integrated double garage, and provides ample parking for a number of vehicles. The garden grounds are superb, with a wide variety of mature specimen plants, shrubs and trees providing colour and privacy throughout the year. To the front of the house is a large terrace, ideally positioned for the sunshine during the day and a wonderful place to sit. There is also a section of lawn with raised beds surrounding. There is a larger lawn to the rear of the house, which benefits from sunshine in the morning as well as later in the day, and is the perfect spot for evening BBQs and outdoor entertaining.
