Edinburgh’s historic Millburn Tower has been put up for sale for the first time in decades with offers expected in excess of £1,800,000.
The B-listed country house, located in Gogar on the western edge of the city, is best known in recent years as the headquarters for wealth management firm Walter Scott & Partners.
Property consultancy Knight Frank is jointly marketing the 17-acre estate, which includes the main 19th-century building and an ancillary two-bedroom lodge.
The site is currently designated for commercial use, but prospective buyers have the opportunity to convert the property back into a private residence subject to planning permission.
Built in the early 19th century for diplomat Sir Robert Liston, the historic building features a two-storey castellated keep and a long Tudor Gothic wing.
The wider estate encompasses woodland and open green space offering views of the Pentland Hills, alongside mature gardens, expansive lawns and various outbuildings.
Millburn Lodge, the detached ancillary accommodation, provides a sitting room, snug, kitchen, bathroom and two double bedrooms across two floors.
It is currently utilised as a private residence, but agents note it offers potential for guest accommodation, staff housing or multi-generational living.
Neil Scott, director at Knight Frank Edinburgh, said: “Millburn Tower presents a rare and highly compelling opportunity in Edinburgh.
“Its scale, setting and heritage are genuinely unique and open the door to a wide range of possibilities, including conversion back to residential use, subject to the necessary consents.
“For buyers with that vision in mind, opportunities of this quality and architectural interest seldom come to market. It also has the potential to offer multi-generational living, with the ancillary building on the estate.
“As a result, we expect to see a great deal of interest in the estate from all corners of the globe.”
Toby Withall, partner at Knight Frank Edinburgh, said: “From a commercial perspective, Millburn Tower presents a unique opportunity for office occupiers in Edinburgh.
“Properties of such character and heritage are rarely available for office purposes, particularly in this location. It could be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to acquire a highly distinctive headquarters for the right business.
“Equally, while it has been used as an office, it could also be suited to hospitality, leisure or a mixed-use concept. Whatever use its future owner decides upon, it is a rare asset with the flexibility to support multiple viable commercial pathways.”
