Escape to the country as fairy tale Lanarkshire mansion comes on the market

Picture a magnificent 17th century home, with its own turret and sweeping staircase, and dream-like views over rolling countryside and wild flower meadows.

This baronial-style residence, which is new to the Lanarkshire property scene, will have you believing that fairy tales really do come true.

Steeped in history and set within acres of private gardens, picture postcard wild flower meadows and paddocks, this turreted manse house in all its splendour will have you scrambling to buy a lottery ticket.

On the market for offers over a cool £825,000, the B-listed, manse house with five to six bedrooms has been lovingly upgraded by its current owners, with no expense spared.

While away an afternoon over the Sunday papers in the ample conservatory, with views of gardens that are so impressive, they are an annual attraction for gardening enthusiasts from all over the country.

On the ground floor, there's also a w.c. and a functional office space.

If that wasn't enough, there's even a separate guest wing, which lends itself to flexible family living or as self-contained B&B accommodation.

All bedrooms are naturally lit (Rettie & Co)

Climb the magnificent staircase within the turret to the first floor, where you'll find the principal bedroom with en suite, four further, naturally-lit double bedrooms and a heavenly family bathroom - the ultimate in luxury.

The attic space in this exceptional home has plumbing and has been fully floored. Yet more flexible space, it is currently used as a workspace and storeroom.
