Huge Edinburgh million pound mansion hits the market with plush granny flat

One of Edinburgh's most expensive homes has hit the market for a whopping £1.65m, however it seems you definitely get what you pay for.

Located in Newington, the eight-bedroom house comes with enough space to house the entire Von Trapp family, and even comes with a plush granny flat in the basement.

Currently searching for a new owner, the property dates all the way back to 1859, and is a classic example of Victorian architecture in Edinburgh.

With the house now A-listed, many original features are still intact, from the huge windows and high ceilings to the incredible stonework outside.

Inside, the house encompasses four reception rooms and a huge kitchen, although most of the interior itself is in need of a good upgrading.

Described as having "exceptional potential", the basement flat is entirely separate from the main house, and comes with its own bathroom and kitchen.

Upstairs, there are a further six bedrooms and a stunning spiralling staircase that is overlooked by a huge and impressive skylight.

The garden is also a fantastic size, with a patio area as well as flower beds, trees and even a miniature play house tucked away at the bottom of the path.

Speaking about the property, agents Coulters said: "23 Blacket Place is an outstanding, A-listed semi-detached family home with exceptional potential.

"Dating back to 1859, the property was designed by the renowned Edinburgh architect, Sir James Gowans and has distinctive character and true grandeur.

"Set within Blacket conservation area, part of the desirable Newington district of south Edinburgh, this 8-bedroom property is arranged over four floors with the lower ground level comprising a self-contained apartment."
