A castle on the outskirts of Dundee that boasts royal links has been put on the market for offers over £625,000.
Powrie Castle, situated just to the north of the city, is thought to be the region’s oldest inhabited residence.
The main castle building is from the 17th century but it has a history of more than 850 years, with the land being gifted by King William in 1170.
Within its grounds is a scheduled monument, The Keep, which dates back to the 16th century.
The building has been renovated by its current owners over the last 33 years and is now being marketed for sale as a family home, holiday home or investment.
The castle includes a 325 sq ft drawing room, formal dining room with flagstone flooring, a former bakery – now kitchen – and three double bedrooms.
There is also a tower room – currently used as a study – with stairs to the turret room.
The firm marketing Powrie Castle has described it as an “immensely rare listing” and expects it will attract international interest.
David Fletcher, property manager at Thorntons, said: “Powrie Castle is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully renovated castle, with links to some of Scotland’s noted royal figures and significant historic events.
“Despite its grand connections, it is a remarkably comfortable and enchanting home that offers great flexibility.
“The tower and turret rooms could be converted into two further bedrooms, which would be especially suitable for children, and its large formal dining and drawing rooms are the perfect spaces for entertaining.
“Just three miles to Dundee, which has excellent road, rail and air links, and close to world-class golfing at St Andrews and Carnoustie, Powrie Castle is sure to attract interest from a wide range of buyers.”
