A dreamy six-bedroom and bathroom coach house on the grounds of a historic Midlothian castle has hit the market, and it is packed with incredible features.
Boasting a separate indoor swimming pool out-building, a gym and games room, this property is something most of us dream about seeing in real life, never mind getting the chance to call it home.
Named the Chestnut House and located next to Melville Castle in Lasswade, the property is currently on the market for offers over £1.7million, making it one of the most expensive listings within Edinburgh and the Lothians currently.

With too many stunning features and rooms to describe individually, the standout factors contributing to this fairytale home are the fact that is comes with complete privacy and a huge woodland garden with the River Esk nearby, a detached pool house with a gym and games room and a modern fit throughout the main two-storey building.
Rightmove describe it as: "Chestnut House is a quite spectacular converted Coach house offering spacious, flexible and exceptionally comfortable accommodation over two floors, set around a central courtyard.
"The house exudes charm with many delightful features including the ornate windows, the majority of which have been double glazed, to the exposed timber beams and stone, as well as the impressive fireplaces.
"Having been extensively refurbished and modernised in 2005, the property caters perfectly for modern family living with well-presented accommodation over ground and first floors."
The spacious central dining room and kitchen is at the heart of the ground floor and comes with an Aga and superb stone fireplace. The décor is a mix of old and new with a stone-wall effect being utilised to surround the room and plenty of modern appliances used throughout in the form of a middle island and breakfast bar and patio doors leading to the outdoor courtyard.
A dedicated library and TV room is located next to the dining room as well as a large utility room, also used as a back-up kitchen, and rounding off the ground floor is a WC and huge triple garage and boiler house within the courtyard.
There are two separate stairs that lead up to the first floor, an internal and external set. The latter acts like stairs from a castle dungeon with stone walls and rope to hold onto either side of the stairs. The huge principal bedroom is located in the south western end of the house and is a generous room with a partitioning wall leading to a full fitted dressing area. It goes without saying that this room comes with an en-suite shower and bath room.
There are a further five double bedrooms on the first floor, three of which benefit from en-suite bathrooms and shower rooms. There is also a family bathroom for those who don't have the pleasure of an en-suite.
To the far end of the northern section of the house is a substantial former hayloft. There is great potential for this to be developed into further accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. Beneath the hayloft there is currently an extensive workshop and store, which again offers tremendous potential.
The most exciting aspect of the home, as if that wasn't enough, comes externally in the shape of a private indoor swimming pool and hot tub situated within its own out-building and also including a spacious gym area with cardio equipment and a games room with a ping pong table in the conservatory.
The surrounding grounds account for two and a half acres of land in total including a river frontage and a variety of trees throughout the grounds providing exceptional colour towards the end of the year.
The house is approached by a smooth tarmac driveway which extends from the principal driveway, over which the property enjoys a right of access. There is a large parking area with a stone path leading to the back door. The cobbled courtyard can be accessed from the western driveway, and is gated for privacy.
