Crossways is a stunning Arts and Crafts style house that has been sensitively modernized by the current owners to blend historic character with contemporary living. Originally built in 1897 as the clubhouse for Murrayfield Golf Club, this exceptional property retains much of its period charm and architectural detail while offering spacious, versatile accommodation arranged over three levels.
Historical Note:
The original Murrayfield Golf Club clubhouse stood on this site on the east side of Murrayfield Road from 1897 until the club relocated in 1912. Following the relocation, the clubhouse was converted into what is now known as Crossways, a private dwelling, carefully preserving its historic architecture.
The property is a Category C listed building, designed by architects Cooper & Taylor, and boasts signature Arts and Crafts features including half-timbered detailing, leaded casement windows, and an ornate terrace elevation.
