We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A truly exceptional opportunity to acquire The Horsemill, a beautifully converted and architecturally significant home set within the historic steading of Brunstane House, one of Edinburgh's oldest country estates dating back to the 14th century.
Conversions of this calibre are exceptionally rare.
Defined by its remarkable hexagonal footprint, original stonework and unique character, The Horsemill offers an extraordinary blend of heritage, craftsmanship and contemporary living.
At the heart of the home lies the magnificent former horsemill itself, transformed into a spectacular hexagonal kitchen, dining and living space.
Intricate solid timber beams and an abundance of natural light create a stunning setting for both everyday family life and entertaining.
The stylish kitchen is positioned on a slightly raised level, subtly defining the space while incorporating a practical breakfast bar.
The accommodation extends to four generously proportioned double bedrooms, all benefiting from fitted wardrobes, with three enjoying en-suite facilities.
The ground floor features two bedrooms, both opening through glazed doors onto the beautifully landscaped south-facing private patio and garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.
One of these rooms is currently arranged as a home office, offering excellent flexibility for modern living while retaining its function as a double bedroom.
The ground floor further benefits from a family shower room, utility room, excellent storage and underfloor heating to the principal living areas, enhancing both comfort and practicality.
Upstairs, two further spacious double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms, provide superb accommodation for family and guests alike.
Externally, the property enjoys a generous south-facing private patio and garden, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, together with three private parking spaces within the attractive courtyard setting.
Despite its peaceful and semi-rural atmosphere, The Horsemill is exceptionally well connected.
Brunstane Railway Station is just a short walk away, providing direct services to Edinburgh Waverley in approximately eight minutes, offering the perfect balance of historic country estate living and city convenience.
Combining remarkable architectural significance, outstanding living space and an enviable setting, The Horsemill presents an increasingly rare opportunity to own a unique piece of Edinburgh's rich heritage.
