A STUNNING baronial castle which sits in extensive grounds on its West Fife plot has gone on the market.
Up for grabs at offers over £3,950,000, Brankstone Grange Castle at Bogside is a category B listed building nestled in 34 acres of land and includes eight bedrooms as well as a self-contained staff apartment.
Agents Stutt and Parker said it is believed the property dates from around 1864 and was designed by David Bryce of Edinburgh, with later additions by Sir R R Anderson.
The listing adds: "The property is a handsome stone-built baronial mansion with a feature castellated tower, in total offering almost 11,000 sq. ft. of light-filled accommodation arranged predominantly over three floors and with a further two floors in the tower.
"The current owners have undertaken a major renovation of the castle. The extent of this refurbishment is comparable to a new first class new build interior, with new wooden floors, Italian porcelain tiles, Roger Oates runners, new carpets throughout, new luxury appliances and high end sanitary wear across the entire castle."

On the ground floor, there's a statement drawing room with a magnificent high ceiling and original cornicing, an impressive dining room with new tartan carpets, cementing the home's regal Highland aesthetic.
The custom hand-made library comes complete with a new marble top bar, making for the perfect cigar room.
The contemporary kitchen, complete with new appliances, is complemented by a walk in pantry.
The basement has been designed with a chalet aesthetic with new traditional slate tiles to the floors and walls, new panelling and hessian runners. There is also a large office / boardroom, studio, one bedroom staff apartment, utility room with new appliances, gun room/safe and guest cloakroom.
On the first floor the property provides a large principal bedroom with a feature corner turret, fireplace and spacious contemporary en-suite bathroom, with a stunning new free standing bath, vanity and shower.
There are seven further double bedrooms, two with feature corner turrets and several with original fireplaces, together with a modern family shower room and a family bathroom.
The first floor also contains the TV room with a new custom built-in media unit.
As well as the main castle, the property includes a traditional grade C listed gate house which, although currently inhabitable, is weatherproofed and offers the potential to be restored to its former glory.
Outside, there's a long driveway with turning circle offering private parking for multiple vehicles ad a garage unit which houses up to four vehicles.
There is also a stable block which is in need of refurbishment but has the potential for a spa suite.
The whole property is screened by mature trees and enjoys far-reaching views over neighbouring countryside.
