INVERCLYDE'S most expensive property currently on the market is a former residential children's home which comes with a price tag of £3 million.
The category-B listed former Victorian orphanage, Balrossie, and its 30 acres of prime land is being sold via upmarket estate agents Knight Frank.
Built in 1899 in the Scottish Renaissance style with gothic detail, the dilapidated building in Kilmacolm has lain empty since around 2004.
Its ground include a paddock, former playing fields, woodland and gardens.
Balrossie was built as an orphanage by the Sailor's Orphans Society of Scotland and later became a children's home within the former Strathclyde Regional Council.
It boasts a two storey villa annex as well as a former water supply tower.
