One of Stirling’s oldest constantly inhabited homes – dating from the 1500s – has gone up for sale.
Bothwell House on St John Street was once owned by Provost Robert Bruce, a descendant of Robert the Bruce.
It sits just a short walk from Stirling Castle and next door to the iconic Church of the Holy Rude.
The four-bedroom home on St John Street, which was previously known as Boghall, is now on the market for offers over £320,000.
The property – spread over three levels – has retained several original features including a turnpike stair.
An entrance hallway leads to a grand staircase leading to the first floor.
On this level, there is a spacious sitting room and elegant dining room.
There is also a fully fitted kitchen providing direct access to a private garden.
On the second level, there are three large bedrooms and a bathroom.
The third level also has a bedroom with a captivating view over the Ochil Hills.
Completing the home is a basement consisting of two medieval vaulted cellars, which could be converted subject to permissions.
The walled garden, as well as being accessible from the kitchen, can also be accessed via a close leading to the street.
Bothwell House is being marketed for sale by Clyde Property.
In nearby Bridge of Allan, a beautifully modernised lodge is for sale for nearly half a million pounds.
