We scour Scotland for low-lying homes that will appeal to those who appreciate life on the level.

Here are three impressive homes currently on the market.

What is it? A former school, built in 1841, that has been upgraded to a beautifully presented four-bedroom detached ranch-style home in a desirable semi-rural location, yet within comfortable reach of all of the excellent amenities and attractions of nearby Dundee.

1. West Lodge Linlathen, by Broughty Ferry, Dundee. Offers over £360,000
