A huge mansion in Edinburgh city centre has hit the market and boasts a modern design throughout, as well as a 'secret' separate apartment on the lower ground floor which includes its own kitchen and sitting room.
The five-bedroom property with three bathrooms in the Newington area of the city is a Georgian villa that has been expertly reconverted to a dream family home, including walk-in showers and a large rear garden.
Describing the property, Rightmove say: "With the perfect marriage of period character and chic contemporary style, this beautifully presented five-bedroom Georgian townhouse is situated in Newington, a sought-after residential area just a short walk from Edinburgh’s historic Old Town.

"The exceptional semi-detached house is located in the Blacket Conservation Area, renowned for its large classical villas, tranquil leafy streets and period architecture. Arranged over three storeys, the house was designed in the early 19th century by eminent architect James Gillespie Graham as part of an upmarket gated residential development.
"The current owner has comprehensively renovated, rewired, replumbed and refurbished the property adding new heating and water systems and creating design-led interiors featuring bespoke carpentry, top-quality fixtures and fittings and high-specification appliances."
The home spans three spacious floors with the ground floor boasting a entrance vestibule, entrance hall and a huge sitting room with two large windows and a coal-burning fire with a mix of both traditional and modern features.
The largest open-plan kitchen and dining room is also present on the ground floor. It is immaculately designed with a wall-length mounted unit for integrated appliances, as well as a middle island that can also be used as a breakfast bar. At the back of the room, various seats and a dining table is also present to create a choice of where to eat your meals.
Direct access to the rear garden and the first bathroom is rounds off the ground floor. On the first floor, the principal bedroom is located with an en-suite bathroom featuring both a walk-in shower and huge bath tub. The bed is also mounted on a super king size frame. The bathroom stands out with its white marble finish and LED lighting on all the units and mirror for extra effect.
A similar en-suite shower room is joined onto the second double bedroom on the first floor, also designed with a white marble effect. Two further bedrooms and a linen cupboard round off the first floor. There is also access to attic storage on the roof.
Instead of progressing to a second floor, the property benefits from an underground floor that includes a self-contained apartment with a fifth bedroom, its own kitchen, sitting room, shower room and back door with access to the front of the house.
The extra 'hidden apartment' features a modern kitchen which also includes integrated appliances as well as a spacious double bedroom and an attractive shower room with a raised platform where the waterfall shower sits.
Externally, the property, as mentioned, includes a spacious rear garden with a patio area and garden furniture that is enclosed by stone walls and also includes floral borders, mature trees and a garden shed.
As expected, the property does come with a hefty price tag. Considering the size, location and its own 'hidden' apartment on the lower ground floor, the home would set you back £1.5million. To view the full listing and more pictures, you can do so here.
