The Scottish home of artist Richard Dawson, who died in 2021, has hit the market for £120,000 and the whole place is its own work of art.
Boasting unique murals and paintings in every room, the house in Rhu, near Helensburgh on the west coast of Scotland, captures the magic of the late painter and gallery owner.
The three-bedroom flat features more than a hint of Dawson's brushstrokes with hand-painted stairs, walls and ceilings ensuring the place is truly one of a kind.
Dawson, who owned a gallery in the area for 30 years, lived in the property until his death in September 2021.
The breathtaking home is proof that you should never judge a book by its cover with an unremarkable exterior covering up the stunning work behind the front door.

And the piece de resistance is undoubtedly the exquisite sky blue ceiling painting which looms over the master bed and is surrounded by Tuscan-inspired stone and hand-painted flowers growing up the walls of the room.
The painter spent three years studying artist Michelangelo's famous wall paintings after he saw a documentary on the Italian genius in 2014 and the products of Dawson's hard work can be enjoyed by the future owner.
Dawson often spent months at a time perfecting each mural and used a magnifying glass to make sure every detail was right.
And his painstaking efforts paid off. Dawson's larger works can be found adorning the walls of luxury stores, such as Harrods and Dior, as well as in swanky private homes in Switzerland, Belgium and the Channel Islands.
In 2017, Dawson recreated one of his best-known murals at the iconic Ashoka West End Indian restaurant in Glasgow.

'It may well be [that] any buyer wishes to revert back to a more orthodox interior, however those who are perhaps admirers of Richard's work - which is now posthumously selling for significant money - may well decide to retain much of this fascinating interior.
'Every visit to the house reveals more detail and the effort and time that has gone into some of the creations is staggering.'
