Seller Galbraiths said: “If you bought this house you could get married in the private chapel – draped in ivy and sitting in the historic kirkyard, the chapel is nestled on the edge of woodland to the south east of the main house.

“It was built in 1908, and still retains many of its original features such as parquet flooring, a vaulted ceiling and a slate roof.

“And then toast the bride and groom in the bar inside the main house, hold your reception in a marquee in the 244 acres of grounds.

“A dream wedding for those whose nuptials have been cancelled due to covid-19.

“This is a rare opportunity to acquire a historic mansion house in impeccable condition.

“Its secluded and private situation is of particular note, enabling the purchaser to gain maximum benefit from the wonderful grounds and policies, with meandering paths and bridges scattered throughout.”
