Located just off the southern shore of the Firth of Tay in Fife, Scotland, the six-bedroom Chesterhill House provides a wonderful opportunity to transform the property into a magnificent country family home.
Though the listed house is in need of complete refurbishment, it will cost you the same as a minuscule studio flat in London at just £200,000, which is roughly in $256,000 in USD.
Built in 1870, Chesterhill House is a Tudor-Italianate style property. The original house which stood on this site was home to successive Dundee merchants and is thought to have burned down - Chesterhill House was then built to replace it.
Surrounded by more than three acres of stunning grounds, the home's idyllic woodland setting exudes peace and seclusion.
The house still retains many beautiful architectural features, such as castellated parapets and a square plan tower. One of the unique highlights of the property is the listed oval walled garden, which actually dates back further than the country house itself.
No one has lived in the house for many years but the property has mains water and electricity with drainage to a septic tank, as well as oil central heating and open fireplaces in the main rooms.
Internally, the house covers around 492 square metres and is arranged over three floors and an attic.
The property also comes with detached garage buildings, and though they are not in a great condition now, after renovation offer big potential.
Countryside lovers will appreciate the local area, which boasts a number of National Trust properties, including Balmerino Abbey, Falkland Place, Kellie Castle and Hill of Tarvit.
"Chesterhill House offers a truly unique opportunity for anyone looking for a real, hands-on property project," said Carl Warden, of Bell Ingram in Perth.
"It is in need of considerable upgrading but for anyone up to the challenge, it has endless potential to be transformed into an impressive, character-filled family home.
"It also offers the best of both worlds in that it is situated in a sloping site surrounded by woodland, giving a sense of rural seclusion and privacy, but also has good access to major road links and Perth, Aberdeen and Edinburgh are all within comfortable driving distance."
This property is available for £200,000 through Bell Ingram.
