This Tudor-Italianate house dates back to 1870 If you?ve been looking for an excuse to renovate, say, a rad Scottish country house, here?s your chance. Chesterhill House is a sweet Tudor Italianate spread in Newport-on-Tay, with a price tag of £200,000 (about $258,000). The 5,300-square-foot home made of ?squared and snecked ashlar? was built in about 1870 by a local merchant and is a protected historic structure.
The home has four floors including a basement and attic. There are six bedrooms and five bathrooms, and a square tower with castellated details from which you can get a nice view of the countryside. The home also has a large 21-foot-high living room with a bay window.

Here?s the caveat. The home has been vacant for some 12 years and has suffered from a lack of maintenance and upkeep.
?It?s a bit of mess inside because it?s been empty for so long,? agent Moira Webley of Bell Ingram tells Homes & Property. ?All the plumbing has been damaged and the kitchen is in a mess, ceilings are down in places and floorboards are coming up, but luckily all the period features remain - ceiling roses, cornices, fireplaces and the like.?
The home comes with over three acres of land including a rare oval-shaped walled garden that predates the existing house.
