Beechtree Cottage, Kirkmichael, Blairgowrie

Situation

Beechtree Cottage is situated in the attractive village of Kirkmichael, a short drive from Blairgowrie, amidst the beautiful landscapes of Strathardle. This friendly rural community offers a local shop, café, and welcoming pubs, with a primary school in the village and secondary education available in Blairgowrie. The surrounding area provides immediate access to scenic woodland walks and the renowned Cateran Trail, while the River Ardle and the Cairngorms National Park offer a wealth of outdoor pursuits.

Transport links are excellent, with Blairgowrie and Pitlochry both approximately 20 minutes away by car, offering a wide range of amenities, mainline rail connections, and regular bus services. Dundee and Edinburgh are both within easy reach, ensuring Beechtree Cottage offers the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and accessibility.

The Business

Beechtree Cottage has recently launched as a boutique hospitality venture, offering high-quality guest accommodation within a stylish courtyard setting. The three ensuite letting rooms have only been trading for a short period of time and have already attracted very favourable guest feedback. Due to the early stage of operation, no formal trading accounts are currently available.

Alongside the guest accommodation, a versatile studio space—currently arranged for small-scale bakery activities—provides excellent scope for other cottage industries, craft production, or conversion into an additional guest suite. The space is flexible and readily adaptable for creative or commercial use to complement or expand the existing business.

The property also benefits from a substantial barn of approximately 80m², ideal for further development as a leisure facility, workshop, or holiday accommodation, subject to consent. Completing the business element is a charming wooden shop at the car park, presently used on an honesty basis but offering strong potential for varied retail or artisan uses.

This combination of established accommodation, adaptable outbuildings, and growing reputation offers new owners an exciting opportunity to develop their own business concept in an appealing rural location.

Property

Beechtree Cottage is an immaculately presented courtyard-style home that harmonises traditional stone craftsmanship with stylish modern finishes. The accommodation centres around a welcoming courtyard, where three independently accessed guest suites—two doubles and a family room—all offer modern ensuite facilities finished to a high standard.

The main residence features an inviting open-plan kitchen and dining area, a modern ground-floor bathroom, and an upper-level double bedroom. It opens onto a private, landscaped garden, offering a peaceful setting ideal for outdoor dining or relaxation.

Adjoining the main accommodation, a flexible studio currently supports artisan production but could serve equally well as an additional letting unit, home office, or workshop. A generous barn, positioned adjacent to the courtyard, provides further scope for conversion, whether for workshop use, leisure projects, or expanded guest accommodation.

At the front of the property, a wooden honesty shop situated beside the car park enhances the property’s identity and offers clear potential for a variety of small retail or craft-based enterprises. Altogether, Beechtree Cottage combines quality living space, adaptable commercial facilities, and impressive potential within a sought-after rural setting.

External

The external layout of Beechtree Cottage is thoughtfully designed to create an inviting environment for guests and owners alike. The gravelled courtyard, surrounded by attractive landscaping and outdoor seating, forms a sociable heart to the property.

To the rear lies a private garden area and a section of natural woodland, perfect for dog walking or enjoying the peaceful rural setting. A large gravelled forecourt provides generous parking and easy vehicle access. The wooden honesty shop located here adds charm and provides further opportunity for local retail or visitor engagement.

Beechtree Cottage also benefits from exclusive fishing rights to a 100-metre stretch of the scenic River Ardle, an exceptional addition to a versatile and appealing rural property.
