The home – Kirklaw – is a conversion of a historic building believed to date from 1626, and has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two reception rooms. The stand-out feature is the treehouse, which is built under a copper beech tree. The property is on the market for a fixed price of £470,000 with Strutt and Parker – a budget of which is cheaper than a flat in Merchiston in Edinburgh.
