Creag Mhor, Borenich, Pitlochry, Perth and Kinross, PH16

A delightful cottage overlooking Loch Tummel

Description

Creag Mhor is a charming mid-century cottage which has been a much loved and beautifully maintained second home for many years. It has also been run as a successful holiday rental business and has a Short Term Let Licence in place. Creag Mhor is approached by a short private driveway and has a welcoming covered verandah at its entrance. On its south side, picture windows overlook Loch Tummel and fill the house with light. Creag Mhor is a small and perfectly formed cottage with a dining kitchen which opens to a bright south facing sitting room. The kitchen has an open fire place and plenty of space for a dining table, whilst the sitting room with its large window is the perfect place to enjoy wildlife, weather and views across Loch Tummel and beyond. There are two double bedrooms at Creag Mhor; the main bedroom spans the width of the house and is a bright room with built in cupboards. The second bedroom is a little smaller and overlooks the front of the house. Both share a recently refurbished shower room.

Outside
Creag Mhor sits in 0.35 acres. It has a short private driveway and a gravel parking area to the side of the house. The garden is mainly grass with heathers, perennials and rhododendron. A pedestrian gate at the bottom of the garden leads directly onto the hillside and down to the loch.

Garage
A single timber garage beside the house has most recently been used as a useful store and workshop
