Pictures show original sash and case windows, high ceilings with Georgian decals and a preserved stained glass window. Functioning fireplaces also still reside in the dining room and living rooms.

Newly refurbished bathrooms and kitchen are also pictures with a rare functioning AGA cooker on display and large surface areas.

A rare large private garden can also be viewed which is already very neat and tidy with an Orangery and sun terraces located at the end.

The house also comes with an interesting history as it was built for two whaling captain brothers in the early 1830’s who worked out of the Port of Leith.

Since its previous use, the current owners have added several extensions onto the original layout including an attic conversion and a garden room and have made the property much bigger and suited for family living.

Newhaven harbour is only a stones through away from the property which is located in a popular area for families.

While the house is a tempting offer, its extravagance will cost you as owners are asking for offers over £2 million.

If you've got the cash it would definitely be a dream mansion.
