AN “exceptional Scots Baronial style villa” in Glasgow’s Southside has gone on the market for offers over £1.55m - and it’s got a rugby pitch in the back garden.

The enormous seven-bedroom, five-bathroom property literally towers over Nithsdale Road in leafy Pollokshields, and features “a range of period features and modern decor throughout.”

The expansive garden looks perfect for lounging in, with a “bespoke barbeque area with pizza oven” and a “heated pod” containing a wood-burning stove - not to mention a wee rugby pitch.
