Stunning Edinburgh mansion has its own turret, balcony and wine cellar

An exclusive house up for sale in Edinburgh offers a taste of royal lifestyle with its own turret, balcony and wine cellar.

The Old Parsonage in Barnton has an ivy-clad exterior which wouldn't be out of place in a fairy tale.

The five-bedroom mansion dates back to 1901 but was extensively refurbished in the 1990s.

It has a large, landscaped garden, which you can look down upon from the accessible turret roof.

There's a wine cellar in the basement which can store hundreds of bottles, a summerhouse, a sunroom, drawing room and utility room.

Estate agents Gilson Gray say: "The current owners have sympathetically and extensively refurbished this splendid home in the early 1990s, carefully retaining a wealth of breath-taking period details in the course of creating a charming and welcoming modern family home.

"Original wrought-irons gates open onto a long, U-shaped gravel drive (also leading to a second exit), enveloped by mature, landscaped gardens.

"The drive leads to the impressive house with its rendered walls and turret, framed by stone mullions and an ornate balcony.

"Solid double doors invite you into a vestibule, which in turn gives access to a remarkable reception hallway.

"Here, a large arched window, original oak surrounds, dado rail and ornate cornice offer a glimpse of the beautiful Arts & Crafts details of the house."
