Edinburgh property: Fairytale mansion boasting a library and gym hits the market

A generously-sized Edinburgh house featuring a museum-like interior has hit the market for an astonishing price of at least £2,950,000.

The baronial-style late 19th-century house on Woodhall Road has six bedrooms, five bathrooms and several other rooms of mixed use - from a library and a gym to a drawing room and a laundry room.

Set among the vast greens of the private garden, the house features period wood-panelled walls, several original fireplaces and oriel windows.

While maintaining the original features, the marvellous property offers the comfort of contemporary living with a newly fitted kitchen combined with a garden room extension with triple doors opening onto a landscaped outdoor dining terrace.

Advertising the magnificent accommodation on Rightmove, the agents said: "A spectacular late 19th century six bedroom detached house designed in the baronial style, situated on a peaceful road in the delightful area of Colinton, a leafy conservation area with a charming village atmosphere of shops, coffee spots and restaurants within six miles of the city centre and with close proximity to the city bypass for easy access to the M8 to Glasgow and Edinburgh airport.

"The property, with its outstanding crow-stepped gables, designed by Robert Rowand Anderson for his own use in 1880-82, maximises the large south-facing garden and stunning views of the Pentlands and Allermuir Hill."

Spread across three floors, the house's front and back gardens extend to around 0.8 of an acre and include a double garage and remote-controlled door.
