A duplex apartment set in a historic castle is on the market for offers over £475,000.
The home is part of the Mansion House, which was originally built in the 1890s as Dollarbeg Castle in Clackmannanshire.
The estate was acquired by Victorian railway tycoon William Henry Dobie in the 1880s, who commissioned the demolition of the old Mansion House at Easter Dollarbeg, and commenced building the current house in 1887, finishing in 1889.
The home, which was designed by Stirling-based architect Ebenezer Simpson, was split into 10 apartments in 2007, all set within five acres of grounds.
The Tower apartment is set across three floors and retains a number of the turreted features in several of the key rooms.
It features a spiral stone staircase leading to a private roof terrace, which has panoramic views.
The shared entrance hall features mosaic flooring and a black marble staircase which rises to the first floor.
This is where the entrance to The Tower is located, along with a generous storage cupboard and a carpeted wooden staircase to the second level.
The sitting and dining room has views across Dollar, Castle Campbell, and the Ochil Hills beyond, as well as aspects to the west.
The room includes two turreted corners and a boiler cupboard and "flows seamlessly" into the kitchen.
The kitchen is fitted with granite worktops and Siemens appliances, including an oven and hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine/dryer, and microwave.
There is also an integrated Sonos sound system throughout the property.
The principal bedroom suite features a turreted corner, built-in wardrobes, south-facing views, and an en suite shower room.
A further bedroom with a large bay window and a family bathroom complete this floor.
A spiral staircase leads to a cinema room, which includes a wall-mounted TV, Yamaha amp and integrated Sonos ceiling speakers, which are included in the sale.
A level further up the spiral staircase sits the stunning tower bedroom.
This room has windows on three sides, offering panoramic elevated views across Dollar and the surrounding countryside.
At the top of the tower, a private roof terrace provides an "exceptional setting for entertaining while enjoying the stunning scenery."
The current owners have installed new composite decking, and it is enclosed by carved stone balustrades and wrought-iron safety railings.
The property also includes a spacious attic space accessed from a small doorway and latterly from the apartment’s lower level staircase.
There are shared gardens which wrap to the south, east and north of the property, and extend to about five acres in all.
There are lawns, and curated borders throughout the terraced gardens, with gravelled paths and stone staircases connecting the different segments.
In the north garden is a sundial garden, partially enclosed by the original stone walls.
There is a driveway that leads through the grounds to the front of the building, where residents’ parking is available.
Property agent Harry Maitland said: "The Tower apartment at the magnificent Mansion House at Dollarbeg is a truly unique and spectacular property.
"It has the benefit of about five acres of immaculately reinstated shared gardens, and a private roof terrace at the top of the tower with panoramic views."
