IF you're on the hunt for a new home but finding yourself disappointed by the lack of haunted towers on the market, look no further.

This gothic villa in Springburn has everything the savvy buyer knows is great for property value; nearby shops and restaurants, easy access to the motorway and a resident ghost.

Dating back to the early 1900's, the three bedroom home boasts original period features, including a spiral staircase leading up to the castle turret which itself offers panoramic views of the city.

Sympathetically maintained by the present owners, its internal presentation reflects the character and ambience of the B-listed home.

Owner Lynda Colquhoun said: “This is a wonderful place to live, it’s full of history and is the perfect house for entertaining friends. 

"Apparently, a maid died in the tower and a lady in a long green dress has been spotted wandering around with her dog – although we’ve not seen her in the 10 years I’ve lived here.”

Alleged on-site deaths aside, the villa is situated close to Springburn Park and all local amenities, as well as being within easy reach of Glasgow's city centre and west end. 

There is quick access to the main motorway networks including the M8, M77 and M74.
