A stunning period flat has hit the market that could give you the opportunity to live in a mansion for a fraction of the price.
Tucked away just south of Edinburgh, the historic Midlothian property is part of a former Georgian mansion that has been standing proudly for centuries.
Originally built all the way back in the 18th century, the building sadly suffered a fire in the early 1900s, but was rebuilt and designed by famed architect Robert Lorimer in 1912.

Steeping in character, from the outside the site almost looks exactly as it would have back in the olden days, with manicured lawns, huge bay and sash windows and a long stretching driveway.
Inside the grandeur of the main hallway and staircases has also been kept intact, with the only difference now being that the stairs lead to different flat front doors.
Currently on the market is one of the first floor apartments, coming in at offers over £240,000, with the property also including 4.5 acres of shared gardens.

For a slice of luxury living just a short drive away from Edinburgh, the property is a serious bargain, with its decor looking like a glossy pullout from a home and interiors magazine.
Speaking about the home, agents Coulters described the site as a "wonderful countryside home", adding:
"This exceptional two-bedroom apartment occupies part of the first floor of this handsome historic building which sits in 4.5 acres of shared gardens. Only a few miles south from Edinburgh city centre, this wonderful countryside home is near to excellent local amenities, tranquil outdoor spaces, and some of the city’s most well-renowned private and state primary and secondary schooling.
"There is a cosy snug leading from the kitchen which offers a peaceful retreat and additional living space bathed in light, as well as a beautifully presented principal double bedroom with pleasing décor, wooden floorboards and original fireplace enjoying wonderful garden views."
