A castle is up for sale for £1.45million but you have to walk across a PLANK to get in one of the rooms.
The stunning, 16th century property boasts six bedrooms and four bathrooms.
There is also a library – with swords on the walls – a wine cellar and a butler’s pantry.
It has original period features which are 480 years old – including panelled walls and ceilings and an original oak door.
But home hunters have been left baffled by the only access to one room used as a study in the three-storey castle.
Dwellers have to walk along a wooden plank to get into the blue-painted room as there are no stairs leading to it.
Blairlogie Castle – built in 1543 – in the village of Blairlogie, near Stirling, Scotland, is being sold by Savills.
One home hunter said: “This amazing castle for sale in Scotland has a room that’s only accessible by walking over a plank.
“I wouldn’t like to try that after a few whiskeys.”
The listing for the stunning Category A Listed property – set in 2.6 acres of land – makes no mention of it.
It reads: “The present day house is a property of outstanding character which retains many original features.
“The property offers comfortable rooms and a sensible layout for modern family occupation.
“The main entrance has a vaulted hallway and a wine cellar off to the side.
“Also on the ground floor is a sitting room with an arched 16th century stone fireplace with a solid fuel stove and aumbry recess.
“The kitchen has a four oven gas AGA, wooden cupboards and a Belfast sink. Beyond the kitchen are a utility room, back door and WC.”
It adds: “There is a panelled central hall on the principal floor which connects to the drawing room, dining room and pantry.
“The drawing room has a decorative panelled ceiling, stone fireplace, 16th century oak door and a studded door to spiral stairs up to the library.
“The dining room has brightly painted ceiling panels and a fireplace with stone surround.
“The pantry has fitted linen and glass cupboards with painted doors. There are also two bedrooms and two bathrooms on this floor.
“The wooden carved staircase rises to the second floor. The library at the top of the house has a ceiling made of ship’s timbers.
“There are three more bedrooms and a bathroom.
“One of the bedrooms is currently used as a study.
“Off the back stairs is a loft bedroom or studio.”
Within the grounds is a cottage, old stables converted into storage plus two garages and a summer house.
It continues: “Blairlogie Castle is set in 2.6 acres of south facing gardens which are laid out in terraces and are protected by mature trees.
“There are many unusual plants and specimens in the garden.
“In front of the castle, enclosed by a castellated arch, is a gravel sweep. Between the castle and the old stables is a flat garden with a central sundial surrounded by hedges and herbaceous borders. A gate and steps lead up to lawns to the north of the house.
“There is a lawn with a stone summerhouse above and a south facing vegetable garden with fruit cages to the side.
“There are mature apple and plum trees in a small orchard. A gate at the top of the property leads onto the hill, from where a path leads to the top of Dumyat.
“Below the house is a terrace with a garden store and a large greenhouse. There is a barbecue area and a flat lawn surrounded by shrubs and herbaceous borders. Below this terrace are trees and banks of azaleas and rhododendrons.
“Running down the eastern side of the garden is a woodland area featuring azalea and rhododendrons with a burn and waterfalls.
“This passes under the drive which leads down to the front gates.”
