And whereas it will be good for anyone wanting their fairy story second, soaking within the sights from the citadel’s highest level, the construction is lacking a couple of primary requirements.

It has no operating water, no lavatory and no kitchen – or some other facilities.

The Perth citadel, often known as Binnhill Tower, is a B-listed, stone-built Gothic tower (circa 1813), and sits by itself small footprint of land.

It was designed by the Scottish politician Sir Frances Grey, 14th Lord Grey, as an observatory and point of interest inside the property grounds of Kinfauns Fortress, an imposing A-listed Gothic mansion.

Its itemizing says the construction is surrounded by woodlands and sits on the hilltops overlooking the village of Kinfauns, with panoramic views of the River Tay to the Lomond Hills.

The itemizing goes on to say it’s “straightforward to think about” a homely residing space on the bottom ground, the place a spiral staircase leads as much as the primary ground.

It continues: “This degree is nearly equivalent in dimension, and has the good thing about a southwest-facing gothic window to seize the elegant vista that unfolds beneath the tower.

“One may simply envision a contemporary kitchen right here and cooking underneath the inspiration of the far-reaching views.

“The spiral staircase continues to the second ground, which mirrors the primary, and as much as the third ground, which has home windows in any respect 4 partitions to seize the idyllic panorama.

“This ground could be good as a bed room, particularly because it offers entry to the tower’s roof terrace.

“Lately, the property has undergone some restore work, together with the substitute of joists and the addition of a roof to make it water tight from the highest.”

However, it says: “The tower has lapsed planning permission to be restored and transformed right into a dwelling, and it comes with a small footprint of land.”
