A dream Edinburgh home boasting a stunning example of Victorian architecture in one of the Capital’s most exclusive addresses has gone on the market.
Southleigh House is set within an outstanding half-acre of beautifully maintained gardens inside the Morningside conservation area and comes equipped with five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The property, which includes four reception rooms and a wine cellar as well as access to two outdoor buildings, was built in the late 19th century and still features the original maid’s quarters.

However, prospective buyers will have to dig deep if they want to bag the exclusive home, with offers over £2,200,000 invited.
The home report estimates the property is around 120 years old and comes packed with original features.
According to the listing on RightMove: "Southleigh is a fine example of Victorian architecture that retains many of its original, beautiful period features.
"Enjoying a flexible layout that will no doubt appeal to families who love to entertain, the accommodation includes several formal reception areas, four/five bedrooms, and three bathrooms.
æSurrounded by half an acre of beautifully-maintained, well-stocked gardens, the home conveys a wonderfully tranquil feel and you’d be forgiven for thinking you are in a quiet rural location, rather than in one of Edinburgh’s most prestigious postcodes and under 3 miles from the city centre."
Outside, the gardens promise flowers ‘that bloom all year round,’ while the driveway comes with ample room for up to five vehicles.
The listing adds: "The villa is nestled within approximately half an acre of magnificent garden grounds, well-stocked and planted for every season.
"The delightful gardens feature a blend of lawns, patios, walkways, and the Cotton Club - a lovely summerhouse tranquilly overlooking the outdoor space. A workshop/tool store can also be found within the gardens.
"There is a mono-block driveway accessed from Corrennie Gardens with enough space to comfortably accommodate five cars and accessed via electric gates which leads to the rear porch.
"To the front there is a double garage (entered from Hermitage Drive) with access via a stone stair to the rear gardens."
