Estate agents Keenans have highlighted the modern kitchen-diner, multiple reception rooms, a garden lounge, and a 'sunken' outdoor decking area with a fire pit.

The home also has a jacuzzi and bar area, described in the listing as 'opulent,' providing a space for residents or a 'perfect' setting for social gatherings.

The property also includes a large detached office space with underfloor heating and a mezzanine level.

In a statement, Rightmove said: "From a historic Scottish castle to a lakeside farmhouse, the most viewed homes on Rightmove in April highlight buyers’ appetite for properties offering something a little different.

"Additional space is a clear priority, with this month’s properties featuring multiple storeys, annexes and acreage drawing the most attention.

"The back garden has recently been upgraded, featuring a sunken decking area and fire pit that make for an ideal gathering space in the summer months.

"The property also features a detached office with its own mezzanine.
