The Daily Record’s new Property of the Week is one that truly stands apart from the crowd, from its gorgeous pink exterior to its 37 acres of lush green grounds. Inside, the home includes incredible rooms that come with features such as painted ceilings and even hidden doors.
Castle Of Park is a nine-bedroom property in Aberdeenshire that is set in a fabulous position within idyllic gently rolling countryside, with the beautiful Moray Coastline lying to the north. At the moment, you can buy the magnificent castle through Savills for offers over £1.65 million.

Stepping inside, the comfortable and spacious castle is set out across four levels. Castle Of Park includes two luxurious reception rooms, nine bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and even an additional two-bedroom attic flat.
The ground floor is centred around two dramatic barrel-vaulted rooms, one of which is a chapel that features magnificent hand-painted murals. Elsewhere, the family kitchen includes a four-door AGA, an impressive selection of built-in dressers, and beautiful bespoke cabinetry.
Completing the ground floor are various practical and flexible spaces, including a boiler and drying room, a utility room, a cloakroom, a commercial kitchen, and an entrance hall. There is also a games room with a wood-burning stove that looks ideal for both family living and entertaining.
The first floor is home to the ‘Great Hall’ and the drawing room, which are two of the most spectacular spaces in the house. The Great Hall features opulent wood panelling and a painted ceiling, while the drawing room benefits from a huge wood-burning stove and built-in library shelving.
Also situated on the first floor is a office-slash-bedroom with an en-suite bathroom that is accessed via a hidden door in the bookshelves. Completing the accommodation on this level are another en-suite bedroom, a separate shower room, and two additional bedrooms.
The second floor is home to the stunning master bedroom suite, which is comprised of a large south-facing bedroom and an en-suite bathroom. There are four more bedrooms on this floor, two of which feature en-suite facilities, as well as a well-appointed family bathroom.
Moving upstairs again, the third floor is where the self-contained flat is situated. This versatile space has a number of potential uses, and includes a sitting room, two bedrooms, a study, a kitchen, and a shower room. It could be utilised as either guest accommodation or multi-generational living.
Castle Of Park is set in stunning manicured gardens that create a truly picturesque setting, with mature shrubs and trees lining the perimeter. Within the grounds are ancient ornamental walks with beautiful Rhododendrons and azaleas, as well as a laburnum walk with two large ponds.
Elsewhere, to the southwest of the castle is the original walled garden that is accompanied by an orchard with apple and plum trees. There is also a huge stretch of lawn with a labyrinth that encircles a sundial, as well as three fields that are used for grazing.
