A penthouse in one of Aberdeen’s most iconic buildings has gone on the market – for less than £400,000.

The red-brick Bastille, on Maberly Street, is a sought-after block and was converted from a warehouse into apartments in 1995. The Bastille itself is B-listed.

Now the west penthouse – which has four bedrooms and two bathrooms – has gone up for sale for offers of more than £380,000.

Would-be buyers may be tempted by the wrap-around terrace, boasting views to the north, south and west of the Granite City and towards the North Sea.

To get to the executive flat, which measures at 2,217 sq ft and is located on a secure floor, you have to take a lift.

The accommodation is accessed via a spacious entrance vestibule and hallway which features large built-in storage cupboards and gives access to the rest of the penthouse.
