If your budget is around the £450k mark, would you rather own a home in Aberdeen or a castle in the Highlands?
If your top choice is the latter, than look no further than Teaninich Castle.
The impressive B listed home can be found in Easter Ross and dates from 1734.
The castle was formerly the seat of the Munros of Teaninich, while in more recent times owners have included the American Charles Harrison on whom the book Little Lord Fauntleroy was based.
Latterly run as a hotel and wedding venue, the castle lies on the fringes of Alness with views over farmland to the Cromarty Firth and the Black Isle and easy access to routes north and south.
It has 12 bedrooms – seven with ensuite facilities – five public rooms, and a self contained basement flat.
Outside there are stunning grounds extending to around eight acres.
It is in need of renovation but for the right person with the right vision, this home has tremendous potential.
It is on the market with CKD Galbraith for a guide price of £450,000.
