A lavish apartment inside the former mansion home of a famous Dunfermline family has gone up for sale.
The C-listed villa at St Leonards Hill on Queensferry Road, dating from 1871, was once the home of Maria Beveridge, the mother of 19th-century linen magnate Erskine Beveridge II.
The family’s firm, Erskine Beveridge & Co, was world-renowned for its products and had bases across the globe.
The building is now split into luxury apartments but retains many nods to its past.
Access to the split-level flat is via a grand entrance, which leads to a large, glass-ceilinged reception hall on the first floor, with ornate original cornicing and period features.
This leads to a spacious main wooden-panelled living space complete with a marble surround feature fireplace.
The fully fitted modern kitchen and a formal dining room with bay window are perfect for entertaining.
Also on this floor is the main bedroom with an en-suite shower room.
It also has a south-facing bay window offering wide-reaching views across Fife and the three Forth bridges.
In addition, there are two more double-sized bedrooms, one of which is en-suite.
A grand double staircase, complete with decorative bannisters, leads to a fourth double bedroom and a separate bathroom.
The property, which is lavishly decorated throughout, also comes with a private drive and grounds.
The home is on the market with Rettie for offers over £465,000.
