Just in time for the heatwave, a property has come to the market with the perfect set up in which to cool down. Howburn Cottage, near Gorebridge, Midlothian, has a beautiful crystal-clear pool in the garden, overlooked by a large summer house, and with a deck extending over the water.

The grounds, which were just a plain paddock when the couple moved in, have perhaps received the most attention. The larger of the ponds measures 20m by 15m, and it is fed by a pump in the smaller one, creating a waterfall between the two.
