Stirlingshire home Kaye Adams viewed has £25k price cut
A Stirlingshire home viewed by TV presenter Kaye Adams on Escape to the Country has had its asking price cut.
Dippin Lodge in Buchlyvie went on the market last summer for £750,000.
Now the price has been reduced to £725,000 for the four-bedroom house.
Agent Fine & Country describes it as an 'impressive architect-designed family home'.
Loose Woman presenter Kaye Adams visited the property on a celebrity edition of the BBC series Escape to the Country, which was screened in December.
The BBC Radio Scotland host was looking to downsize to a three-bedroom property on a budget of £850,000.
While Kaye admired the lodge-like setting, she felt it was too big and better suited to a younger family.
Dippin Lodge was built on the site of an ancient threshing mill.
It features four bedrooms, two reception rooms, three bathrooms and a private driveway.
The entrance leads to a vestibule with a cloakroom area and then to the hall, which is open plan to the dining room.
From here, stairs lead to the upper floor drawing room.
This features an open fire and 'wonderful views over the garden and beyond, to the picturesque countryside of the Carse of Stirling'.
The kitchen and living room space, which has French doors to the terrace, is also on the ground floor.
It features solid wood units, integrated appliances and an island with a breakfast table.
The principal bedroom suite is on the ground floor, featuring fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom.
There is also a separate bathroom adjacent.
Stairs lead down to three more double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Two of these have built-in wardrobes, while the third has a bedroom and study area.
A utility room is also housed on this floor and leads to the garage.
An English heritage green oak barn is also included.
Accessible via wooden stairs, there is a verandah with views of the mountains and the surrounding countryside.
Inside is an open-plan room with a kitchenette, en-suite shower room and a projector with surround sound.
Fine & Country describe it as a 'real bonus' and says it could work as extra accommodation for guests, a home office or a granny/teenage annexe.
A carport and a flexible-use room with full-size garage doors and a window to the side are located on the ground floor.
According to the listing, this is suitable for a workshop, office space, gym or as an additional garage.
The garden space measures 0.84 of an acre and surrounds the lodge.
A paved terrace near the kitchen provides an outdoor space to enjoy the landscape.
Part of the neighbouring field may also be available for sale by separate negotiation.
Elsewhere in Buchlyvie, two flats and a coffee shop could be turned into residential accommodation.

EastEnders star suspended by BBC after disabled slur on Strictly set
A video emerged of the actor, who plays Jay Brown on the soap, using the term to describe the people of Blackpool, the town where the show was being filmed, The Sun on Sunday first reported. Borthwick is said to have made the offensive remark on a phone video while the Strictly cast were at Blackpool Tower Ballroom last November. A spokesperson for the BBC said: 'This language is entirely unacceptable and in no way reflects the values or standards we hold and expect at the BBC. 'We have robust processes in place for this.' Warren Kirwan, media manager at disability equality charity Scope, said: 'Attitudes and language like this are never acceptable. 'It's not just ignorant and hurtful to disabled people, it has wider consequences. 'Negative attitudes hold disabled people back in all areas of life, from getting a job to shopping on the high street. 'Mr Borthwick needs to reflect on what he said, educate himself and do better. 'We hope he takes the opportunity to get to know the reality of disabled people's lives.' Borthwick won the Strictly 2023 Christmas special with Nancy Xu, and won the best actor gong at the Inside Soap Awards in September that year, with the show recognised with the best storyline for Loving And Losing Lola, about character Lola Pearce-Brown's brain tumour diagnosis. As part of the storyline, Borthwick, as Lola's husband Jay, and Emma Barton, as Honey Mitchell, ran the London Marathon in character in honour of Lola after her death. His suspension comes after Wynne Evans last week said he had been dropped by the BBC, following an apology saying that he used 'inappropriate language' during the launch of the Strictly Come Dancing tour. The Welsh opera singer, 53, known for the insurance advertisements, will no longer be a BBC Radio Wales presenter, he announced on May 30. Earlier this year, he apologised for language that he called 'inappropriate and unacceptable' after The Mail On Sunday reported that Evans was heard making a remark to a woman in a video filmed during the Strictly launch event. It is understood he was given a warning over the remark by tour producers. In January, he said: 'I've agreed with the BBC that I'll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing. 'I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection. 'Apologies to those I won't get to see at the remaining performances and I'm grateful to my fellow tour gang for all the amazing support they have given me.' The singer, who performed in the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Of The Opera and also won 2023's Celebrity MasterChef, told The Sun on Sunday earlier this month that the Strictly comment was not sexual or directed at one of the female cast but was a nickname for fellow contestant Borthwick. He told the paper: 'I didn't see the statement, Old Spit-roast Boy was a nickname for Jamie Borthwick. I'm not a bad guy, I'm not a misogynist, I'm not any of these things.' Evans added: 'And so I went, 'I'm so sorry'. And that was taken as a formal apology, so the press team issued a statement. I didn't see it. 'When I read the apology within the context of the story as it had been written, I was absolutely horrified.' The Strictly tour saw contestants of the most recent series return to the dancefloor, including Love Island star Tasha Ghouri, actress Sarah Hadland, JLS singer JB Gill, The X Factor winner Shayne Ward and Gladiators star Montell Douglas. They toured the country alongside Strictly judges Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse, performing in cities including Birmingham, Sheffield, Newcastle, Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester and London.
