Dream country homes rarely appear on the market and when they do they are usually too far from any major cities to make any kind of commute possible.

Thankfully, Weston House, which has just gone on the market, not only lies in 2 acres of stunning open countryside and wonderful scenery, it's also situated close to the M74 meaning it's only a 35 minute trip to the city of Glasgow.

Easy access to the best of both worlds isn't the only thing the detached villa offers, with eight bedrooms, a personal gym and even a hot tub all coming as part of the package.

Guests will also be made to feel welcome with their very own self-contained flat and there's plenty of places to park as the outbuilding also contains a three car garage.

The property even comes with an extensive garden, with decking for entertaining, a private gym, office space and even electric gates for privacy.

Other notable features include traditional log burners, an open plan kitchen, and even as a bonus, a statue of a Highlander in the grounds, which was sculpted by famous Scottish artist Robert Forrest.

Originally built as a family home for the Greenshield family who owned the land around Westoun, the site underwent extensive modernisation by the current owners in 2010 and at offers over £580,000 is on the market for a very reasonable price (well, if you have that kind of money).

You can take a virtual tour here, courtesy of property website Upload Abode and it definitely has to be experienced to be believed.
