Stunning East Lothian apartment inside 'miniature castle' hits the market

If this weekend's Platinum Jubilee has got you dreaming of living like a royal, then a new apartment has hit the market that could help you in that task.

Although not quite Buckingham Palace, the three-bedroom flat certainly looks like something out of a period drama when you catch a glimpse of it from outside.

Located in East Lothian, the building is a period and historic mansion house, and although not officially a castle, it even comes with little turrets to keep you satisfied.

On the market for offers over £560,000, the property is actually set over both the ground floor and basement, with a quaint spiral staircase joining the two levels.

The ground floor is home to a huge open plan living/kitchen/diner that once must have hosted some seriously impressive parties.

Full of natural light, the windows look out over the perfectly landscaped lawns while you enjoy all of the modern features inside.

Two of the smaller bedrooms are also on the ground floor, with the master located down on the basement level.

Keeping and restoring the curved stone arches of the original cellars, the bedroom looks like something out of a film, and even has room for a miniature lounge.

Speaking about the property, agents Simpson and Marwick wrote: "Wonderful and rarely available three bedroom period conversion set within historic Mansion House.

"Impressive and well kept communal grounds surround the property and there are stunning open views from the apartment. Situated close to North Berwick and East Linton with countryside walks close by.

"This extremely stylish property provides quality finishes, high ceilings, period details and a flexible layout. The welcoming hallway leads to a large double aspect sitting/dining/kitchen which benefits from a quality kitchen with integrated appliances and large island and painted cabinets.

"Large windows flood this stunning room with light and a wood-burning stove provides an attractive focal point. A utility/boot room provides further storage and there is a principal bedroom with contemporary en suite shower, double bedroom and family bathroom.

"A spiral staircase leads to a spacious lower level with a double bedroom/living room, study, en suite shower room and useful walk in storage. There are two single garages and ample parking."
