An 18-room period property near Inverurie has hit the market and is sure to garner some interest with a surprising hidden feature.

House of Glack is a B-listed four-floor property originally built in the 1720s, with a rear wing added in the 1930s.

It’s in this section of the property that potential buyers can find a fully-equipped pole dancing studio.

The room on the ground floor has two poles bolted to the floor, along with another pole on a raised platform.

The first floor of this wing also has the potential to become a self-contained flat, complete with a lounge, kitchen, utility room, bathroom, laundry room, shower room, and three bedrooms.

It contrasts with the rest of the property, which has unique historic fixtures and fittings, including a traditional wood-burning range, ornate wooden fireplaces and spiral staircases.
