Constructed in 1813, the townhouse on Northumberland Street in Edinburgh is said to have "a rich and well-documented history with many notable prior residents."

These include the likes of Sir Douglas Seton-Steuart, the last Hereditary Armour-Bearer and Squire of the Royal Body in Scotland.

As well as this, the A-listed structure has undergone sympathetic renovations with the chimney stack being rebuilt, new slate roof tiles being laid and a brand new boiler being fitted just last year.

However, they noted that this was with the "exception" of the "modern kitchen" which features "Miele and Subzero appliances, underfloor heating and a dining extension, which benefits from bi-fold doors for inside/outside living in the warmer months."
