A charming extended cottage in a private rural setting near Blairgowrie

Description

The original cottage at Tigh na Blair dates from the early 1900s. The property has been meticulously cared for over the years. At its heart is a lovely open plan kitchen / living / dining room. The kitchen has a farmhouse feel with an oil fired AGA (as well as an electric oven and hob) and space for a dining table.

A broad arch opens into the living room which has a fireplace with stove, a charming window seat and space for comfortable seating or for a dining table. Tigh na Blair also has a more formal sitting room with open fireplace, lofty ceiling, French windows and a floor to ceiling south facing picture window spanning its gable end. There is a main bedroom with en suite bathroom as well as two further bedrooms and a wet room. Lovely oak flooring has been fitted in bedrooms 2 & 3 and their corridor. At the front of the house is a welcoming reception hall whilst at the rear is useful utility space and an office.

Outside
A private driveway of about 100m leads to Tigh na Blair and is lined with daffodils in spring. There is a large gravel parking area beside the house. The grounds extend to about 1.5 acres in total. Neat lawns around the house are interspersed with specimen trees, spring bulbs and herbaceous borders. Rhododendrons and magnolias are amongst shrubs that add colour and variety to the garden. There is a sheltered terrace beside the sitting room which is a suntrap in good weather and being almost entirely enclosed by hedges the garden is very private. Beside the driveway there is about 0.9 acres of ground that would be ideal for keeping chickens, hobby livestock, planting an orchard, creating a productive garden or even putting up ancillary buildings (subject to obtaining relevant permissions).
