An 18th-century listed fixer-upper on the road leading to Stirling Castle has hit the market for £200k.

Valley Lodge, on Castle Wynd, is described as a “rare opportunity to acquire an 18th-century building next to the iconic Stirling Castle.”

The four-bedroom home retains several period features and is full of character, but “requires significant upgrades”.

In the Old Town and a short walk from the city centre, the property backs onto the Old Town Cemetery near the Church of the Holy Rude – Stirling’s second-oldest building, aside from the castle.

Estate agent Clyde Property say it boasts a “plethora of character” and ” its potential for transformation into a splendid family residence or upscale traditional apartments with proper planning consent is immense.”

Inside, the ground floor features a large living room spanning the property’s length, the kitchen, a separate utility room and a small toilet.
