AN 18th-century estate with a 15-bedroom mansion including a gym and more than 200 acres of grounds is on sale – for less than the price of as a three-bedroom flat in London.
The Straloch House Estate, near Aberdeen, has an immaculate Georgian mansion house at the centre of 244 acres of land, including a waterfall and a covered hot tub.
Much of the grounds are landscaped parkland with ornamental features but it also has woodland and an area for grazing animals.
Straloch House was built around 1780 and has 15 bedrooms, three living rooms and a detached laundry room.
The estate even has a private chapel and a two-acre walled garden.
It is on sale for offers over £2.95 million – less than the price of a three-bedroom flat in Belgravia, which is on the market for £3.25m.
Hannah Christiansen of Galbraith, who is handling the sale said: “This is a rare opportunity to acquire a historic mansion house in impeccable condition.
“Its secluded and private situation is of particular note, enabling the purchaser to gain maximum benefit from the wonderful grounds and policies, with meandering paths and bridges scattered throughout.
“This is an exceptionally beautiful property offering a wonderful rural lifestyle. ”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
