Broom Cottage, Drumuillie, Boat Of Garten

Located in the peaceful hamlet of Drumuillie, just outside the ever-popular village of Boat of Garten and within easy reach of the wealth of amenities and outdoor pursuits that the Cairngorms National Park has to offer, this property represents an increasingly rare opportunity to secure an affordable home or development project in a highly sought-after location. The existing timber-built property provides flexible accommodation that could be occupied in its current form or, for those with vision, adapted and redeveloped (subject to the necessary consents) to create a bespoke home that maximises both the setting and potential future value. At present, the accommodation includes an entrance hallway, a bright sitting room with an adjoining dining area, two well-proportioned bedrooms, a kitchen with useful pantry, and a separate and freshly fitted bathroom. Externally, the home sits within a plot that offers scope for landscaping, alongside off-road parking. Whether retained as a simple and functional home, or upgraded to modern standards, or redeveloped entirely, the property provides a versatile canvas in a location that combines rural tranquillity with excellent access to Aviemore, Grantown on Spey, and wider transport links. Please note that the property is of non-standard construction and is therefore not suitable for mortgage lending, making this a cash purchase opportunity.. EPC F, Council Tax band A
