Actors rehearse on the set of Vigil in Scotland. The BBC confirmed the show drew in an audience of 13.4 million for its opening episode – the largest viewing figures for the BBC since the 11 million who tuned in to watch the Bodyguard finale in 2018
The village, which sits on the banks of the Gare Loch two miles to the west of Helensburgh, was a filming location for scenes in the Sunday night drama.
Making the most of the copious amounts of natural light and open aspect, the main living rooms are found on the upper floor of the property along with a drawing room and double aspect dining room.
Adjacent, the modern kitchens contain a five-oven Aga which, in turn, leads to a bright sitting room and concealed study.
Close to 4,050 square feet in size, the house also has an additional breakfast room or office with views to the hills from one side and to the sea from the other – an ideal working from home location that leads to the roof terrace.
All five bedrooms are located on the ground floor with four en-suite bathrooms.
The property, named Rowaleyn, also has a further family bathroom, utility room and another relaxing sitting room with a double aspect reception.
As a result, the rooms can be split into main family and guest areas if desired.
The BBC confirmed last week that Vigil had become its most viewed show over the last three years.
The gripping series, starring Suranne Jones and Martin Compston, drew in an audience of 13.4 million for its opening episode – the largest viewing figures for the BBC since the 11 million who tuned in to watch the Bodyguard finale in 2018.

The gardens above and below the property are well kept and blend in with their beautiful surroundings with woodland and mature hedging providing privacy without detracting from the open views to the sea.
To the northern section of the garden there is also full planning consent to add an additional house, should the new owners wish to build a guest house or similar.
Rhu is renowned for its beauty and location and is home to the Royal Northern and Clyde yacht club.
Jason Corbett, Director Country Sales and Lettings at UK Sotheby’s International Realty, described the house as ‘one of the best in its class’.
He said: ‘To find a property with such breathtaking views from almost every room in the house is extremely rare.
‘Featured as a location in the BBC’s latest Sunday night thriller, Vigil, Rhu is considered one of Scotland’s most favoured holiday villages.
‘Glasgow Airport is a short drive away and the much visited Loch Lomond can be reached just over the hills, while the Royal Northern and Clyde yacht club is minutes from the house.
‘Rowaleyn has to be considered one of the best in its class.’
