An impressive Edwardian mansion with its own dragon slide and a fully habitable treehouse with a shower room has just been put up for sale.

The stunning mansion, called Shotover Edge, boasts six bedrooms and three bathrooms and features a state-of-the-art entertainment, heating, cooling, lighting and security system with automatic blinds, all of which are controlled by the app.

It sits on more than three acres of land and was designed and built by architect Thomas Rayson in 1914.

However, despite the impressive scale of the home in Headington, Oxford, covering 5,800 square feet, what makes it stand out is its tree house.

Dubbed as the ‘ultimate den’, it is fully habitable and includes a shower room, heating and built-in beds and, like the main house, it has an app-controlled security, as reported by Luxury Property News.

Adding to this, it even has a dragon slide and a zip wire.

The ‘exceptional’ mansion, with a guide price of £4,250,000, is accessed from a lane via wrought iron electric gates and the driveway has parking space for several cars as well as a double garage.

Built with red brick, the property’s formal entrance opens into a hallway with chequered marble floor, a guest cloakroom and a main staircase.
