A CHANCE to work in “one of Scotland’s most cherished country homes” and enjoy table tennis, croquet and a private driving range is being offered in the lead-up to Christmas.

Gilmerton House is opening its doors as a co-working space, Monday to Friday, from November 25 to December 20.

Fibre-optic WiFi runs throughout the venue, near Athelstaneford, so people can sit at the dedicated work table or in one of the four drawing rooms.

There is also a chance for people to enjoy bottomless Hometown Coffee and other drinks and snacks, as well as a seasonal soup at lunchtime prepared daily by The Edinburgh Catering Company.

Guests will also have private access to the estate gardens and woodland trails for walks, as well as games including billiards, table tennis, croquet, pétanque and a private driving range.
