It also boasts a spacious back garden and the location itself is in one of Glasgow's most sought-after spots. The residence is in the Newlands area in the south side of the city, adjacent to the affluent Shawlands suburb. British & Irish Lions star Price, 32, took part in some filming with estate agency Vanilla Square and gave a tour of the house in doing so. He showed estate agent Steven Lawrence around his home, saying the property "had been brilliant". The home report valued the house at £750,000 and at the moment, it is listed on Vanilla Square's website for offers over £670,000. The caption for the video read: "Have a look around @ali_price93's phenomenal home in Newlands. "A family home as well as very cool party pad. "4 bedrooms, 3 living rooms, 3 bathrooms. "Check out the bar!" Andy Farrell wants end to social media 'nonsense' after son Owen's Lions call A description for the property on the website says: "Set over four impressive levels, this stunning and substantially extended semi-detached villa offers an unrivalled standard of family living in one of Glasgow's most sought-after neighbourhoods. "Beautifully finished throughout, it is, without doubt, one of the finest homes of its kind currently available. "From the moment you step into the grand entrance hallway - with a convenient WC and cloakroom - you are struck by the scale, style and attention to detail. "Elegant double doors open into a truly spectacular rear extension, which forms the heart of the home: a magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space. Bathed in natural light from multiple Velux windows, expansive glazing and French doors to a Paris balcony, this area is as functional as it is stylish. "The kitchen has been designed with the chef in mind, boasting high-spec integrated appliances, a range cooker, central island, and extensive storage. "There's ample room for formal dining as well as a casual sitting area—perfect for modern family life and entertaining alike. "To the front, a refined formal lounge provides a more intimate space to relax, featuring a bespoke media wall and striking electric fireplace that adds warmth and character. "The lower level is a true showstopper - a fully equipped bar and large lounge space create a vibrant party zone that feels more like an exclusive venue than a private home. "With bi-fold doors opening directly onto the rear garden, it's ideal for summer gatherings, family celebrations, or simply unwinding in style. A luxurious shower room and a well-appointed utility room complete this versatile floor. 9 The home report valued the property at £750,000 Credit: VANILLA SQUARE 9 It boasts a modern interior Credit: VANILLA SQUARE 9 More views of the garden Credit: VANILLA SQUARE 9 And how the house looks from the front "On the upper level, you'll find three generous double bedrooms. The second bedroom benefits from a chic en-suite shower room, while the main family bathroom is a statement in luxury, complete with a sleek three-piece suite and even a built-in TV - perfect for soaking in style. "A hidden spiral staircase leads to the fourth double bedroom, offering a flexible space ideal for guests, older children, or a dedicated home office. "Additional features include gas central heating, tasteful finishes throughout, and excellent storage. "Externally, the rear offers a gated driveway with space for one car. "There is a sun-drenched, private garden featuring a large patio area, idea for dining al-fresco. On-street parking is available on Mossgiel Road and nearby for residents and visitors. "This extraordinary home combines traditional charm with cutting-edge modern living. A real one-off that is not to be missed. "Newlands is one of Glasgow's most desirable and well-established residential suburbs, located on the city's sought-after south side. "Known for its leafy streets, elegant period homes, and strong sense of community, Newlands offers an exceptional quality of life. "Residents enjoy easy access to a range of local amenities including independent cafés, restaurants, parks, and excellent schooling options—both state and independent. "The nearby Newlands Park and Queen's Park provide beautiful green spaces for families and dog walkers, while excellent transport links via bus and rail make commuting to Glasgow city centre and beyond quick and convenient. "Combining suburban tranquillity with urban convenience, Newlands is a perfect location for families and professionals alike." 9 Price's jersey proudly on display Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

The England-born 32-year-old brought the curtain down on 11 years in Scottish rugby – nine seasons at Glasgow and two at Edinburgh – at the end of last season. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Price, who has 68 Scotland caps to his name and toured with the British and Irish Lions in 2021, has now headed to the Top 14 to continue his career. The move to Montpellier means he will become a team-mate once more of his former Glasgow and Scotland colleague Stuart Hogg, who pleaded guilty in November to a charge of domestic abuse. Ali Price has joined Montpellier after leaving Edinburgh Rugby. | SNS Group Meanwhile, Pierre Schoeman has revealed the British and Irish Lions' props are gelling so well that they have taken to roaming their team hotels together like 'migrating bison'. The Lions have taken six of the front rows to Australia and while they are competing hard for the four available places in the Test series that begins in Brisbane on July 19, they have still formed a tight bond off the field. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'We actually have a prop group that none of our other team members are allowed on. They don't know about it, but our secret is out now,' Schoeman said. 'We are like bison, migrating together. We have a secret meeting every night. Finlay Bealham started it and now all the props have bought in. Props ask 'deep questions' 'We stick together and have a tea after every training session and we get to meet each other's families and ask deep questions. But it's just for props in whatever hotel we live in.' Within the prop contingent those that fill the number one jersey have gravitated towards each other, with Schoeman striking up a close relationship with fellow 'gladiators' Ellis Genge and Andrew Porter. 'Looseheads all around the world are very similar. They are quite weird and unique people. Something isn't right,' the South African-born Scotland prop said. 'We always say that playing rugby you must have a screw loose, but playing rugby as a loosehead prop…We like going to dark places – physically, mentally, spiritually.

We are almost like a gladiator when all the gladiators come together. (Scrum coach) John Fogarty has the key for the cage to unlock the gladiators. We all associate with being loosehead props in the professional era with different backgrounds. 'It's just nice knowing each other and we are learning from each other as well. You have to get along. You have to make it work. At this moment it is like a small mini unit and the engine has to go. 'It is the healthiest competition I've seen in my career. You learn from each other and you really use your super strengths. If someone else is better, you learn from them. 'You can clearly see we are all driving towards the same collective. Whatever your job is on the sailing yard, you have to do that otherwise you won't get to the destination.'

Bulls 42-33 Edinburgh: Three things we learned
Edinburgh find courage to end season with prideSean Everitt talked about a fast start and a strong finish. He got both of those, but it was the bit in the middle that saw the Bulls pull out of the fight Edinburgh showed to get ahead and then set up a tense-ish finale was were able to pick themselves up off the canvas after the three-try blitz that would have left others floored. Tries from Ewan Ashman and Wes Goosen made a game of it, but they just couldn't climb the only they could show that hunger, fight and desire in every game, they wouldn't have had to face the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld - one of the hardest away days in the guns offer hope for next seasonThere was a moment in the final 10 minutes that threatened to swing the game back Edinburgh's Price's up-and-under was chased by Harry Paterson, who smashed Canan Moodie back. Liam McConnell, the 20-year-old back-row just off the bench, cleaned out the ruck. Ben Muncaster followed to win the ruck young players, all with huge futures, combining to set up a potential game-swinging moment. It didn't quite work out like that - the subsequent line-out was turned over by the Bulls - but it showed there is hope for the Dave Cherry away, promising hooker Paddy Harrison will get even more game time after a breakthrough season. Freddy Douglas, Muncaster and Liam McConnell will be knocking on the door. Tom Currie, McAlpine was on the bench for this one, with fellow scrum-half Hector Patterson also highly regarded.

Emotions ran high in the away dressing room at Loftus Versfeld as a number of players came to terms with the end of their Edinburgh careers. The 42-33 loss to the Bulls in the quarter-finals of the United Rugby Championship brought the curtain down on the season for Sean Everitt's side and several long-serving stalwarts will now move on. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Jamie Ritchie and Ali Price are both heading to France, while Mark Bennett, Javan Sebastian and Robin Hislop are on the hunt for new clubs. Jamie Ritchie, right, and Ali Price, second right, were playing their last games for Edinburgh. | Getty Images The five were in Pretoria, with all but the latter involved in the 11-try thriller which saw Edinburgh lead 21-8 before being reined back in either side of half-time as the Bulls scored 31 unanswered points. 'It's a very emotional changing room at the moment,' said Sean Everitt, the Edinburgh head coach who took the club into the URC play-offs for the first time in three years. 'We've got five leavers that are sitting in the changing room absolutely gutted. A lot of effort went into this game and the preparation was really good for us. The travel was good. Unfortunately, we just fell short. But yes, very emotional. 'Ali Price has come to work every day since he's joined Edinburgh with a smile on his face, which is really contagious amongst the team and he certainly brought a lot to the table. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'You look at a guy like Jamie Ritchie that's been at the club for 11 seasons. He's been really outstanding since I've been there for the last two years. One of the standout players, Player of the Year last year and was also a nominee for Player of the Year this year. We will miss him. His competitive edge and leadership is something that we will miss and we wish him well going forward. And then there's obviously guys like Javan, Mark and Robin Hislop as well. 'Robin, although he hasn't played much this year, he's been an anchor within the squad, not always available for selection due to injury. And when he came back from injury, he didn't probably get the game time that he wanted. But a guy that carries himself well around the group when things don't go his way, always positive, training to the best of his ability. We miss people like that because it's a good example to our youngsters. Ali Price of Edinburgh kicks clear during the United Rugby Championship quarter-final against the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld. | Getty Images 'I think the positive of it all is that Jamie and Ali have got good opportunities in the south of France and they'll enjoy their environment change. It's not the end of their careers. Sometimes a change in environment is good for an individual. It takes them out of their comfort zone. And if possible, we'd welcome them back in Edinburgh, if we can.' Ritchie has agreed a deal to join Perpignan for next season while Price has been heavily linked with a move to Montpellier. In addition, Dave Cherry, Matt Scott, Jamie Hodgson, Emiliano Boffelli, Jake Henry, Nathan Sweeney and Jack Hocking are all also leaving Edinburgh. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Everitt said he was proud of the way his team performed at Loftus Versfeld against last season's URC finalists, and in particular the start they made. 'We knew that the first 20 minutes were going to be vital and I thought that the players reacted very well to that. We wanted a fast start to counteract what the Bulls do to the opposition when they come to Loftus and we certainly got the start that we wanted. 'But then there were a couple of loose kicks, which does happen in rugby, and the Bulls were outstanding in how they cut us there on counter-attack. 'And then they blitzed us in the second half and we conceded three tries in 13 minutes. But the boys fought until the end and did well to come back to within nine points. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I think if you look at the penalty near the end, we went for the corner and maybe, if we had got three points there, then the pressure turns on the opposition because you're then within a score. So, I'm proud of the fight that the guys showed.
