Enchanting Midlothian mansion with own sauna and waterfall searching for new owner

An enchanting Midlothian mansion, complete with its own turrets and gardens, is now searching for a new owner.

Borthwick Hall has hit the market for a whopping offers over £1.95million - but is very much worth its expensive price tag.

Put up for sale by Rettie & Co, the ten-bedroom mansion is nestled into local woodland next to the small hamlet of Heriot, but is still just a quick commute from Edinburgh.

Complete with its own fairytale feel, the home is surrounded by 12 acres of land, and even has fishing rights for its section of the Heriot Water that runs past the property.

Not shy of space, the building has a very expansive ground floor, complete with its own study, dining room and kitchen. If that wasn't enough, there is also a snug, pantry and set of stairs leading down to the wine cellar, gun room, sauna and home gym.

Back up the stairs on the first floor lies a series of bedrooms, as well as a selection of bathrooms to go with it. Decorated with a very original and stately design, there are even some four-poster beds kicking about.

The home has a very proper decor throughout. (Rettie & Co)

As well as other rooms for general use, the property also comes with three self-contained apartments on the first floor that could be used for "staff or guests".

There is a games room, hot tub and sauna all on-site. (Rettie & Co)

If the home itself still seems a little too small for you then have no fear, there is also a detached garage building that can fit four of your finest cars, as well as a storage room above.

Outdoors, Rettie added that there are: "Colourful and established gardens and grounds with numerous specimen shrubs and trees including Lawson's Cypress, Himalayan Rhododendrons, and American Giant Redwoods.

Most bedrooms still have real fireplaces and traditional features. (Rettie & Co)

A natural burn also runs through the garden maintaining a waterfall and pond water feature, and is just a short distance away from three paddocks suitable for grazing.

For most of us, a move here might be a little out of reach, but if not, you can find more information here.
