From the outside it looks similar to many other homes in the street, with no signal of its hidden secret.
The tastefully decorated five-bedroom home, in a high demand residential area near Broughty Ferry, would be just the ticket for a family.
But beyond the first and second levels, a fast track to the Balmossie Terrace villa’s attic has a surprise.
A trip up the Ramsay ladder into the loft reveals a paradise for model train lovers.
350ft of model rail tracks
Stretching the length of the attic is a series of model train tracks totalling around 350 feet.
The electrified display – created around the roof rafters – takes up the entire length of the attic on both sides.
Strip lights shine down on the intricately detailed display which includes buildings, grass, hills, trees and even car parks.
The labour of love, which features five tracks, has taken more than a decade to build and is being sold with the house.
The property’s sale is being conducted by estate agent Northwood.
The brochure states: “Access to the floored attic is by means of a Ramsay ladder and is home to the most wonderful model railway line with 350 feet of track over five tracks.
“This lovingly crafted railway line has been created over 12 years with exacting care and fantastic attention to detail.”
Broughty Ferry home could be on course for speedy sale
The property also includes three bathrooms, three public rooms and a summerhouse – perfect for a family relaxing and letting off some steam.
Northwood is asking a fare of at least £430,000 for the property.
The estate agent adds: “The property is conveniently located for accessing many amenities, schooling, Panmure Village, transport and road links to local and surrounding areas.”
