Cumbrae Cottage, Roy Bridge, PH31 4AG

CHARMING, TRADITIONAL DETACHED COTTAGE 

Quietly nestled within generous garden grounds extending to approximately 0.4 acres, and enjoying delightful views towards the stunning Grey Corries mountain range, Cumbrae Cottage is a charming detached former Station Master’s house, dating from around 1908. Benefiting from ample private parking and an idyllic Highland setting, this characterful property presents an exciting opportunity to create a wonderful permanent home, tranquil retreat, or investment in a thriving rental market. The accommodation is conveniently arranged over one level and comprises an entrance hallway, a welcoming lounge/dining room, kitchen, double bedroom, and shower room. Whilst the property would now benefit from a programme of modernisation and upgrading, it retains considerable charm and character, including mixed glazing and two open fireplaces, offering the potential to create a cosy and inviting home. A particular feature of the property is the substantial outdoor space. In addition to the expansive grounds, there is a detached timber summer house, fully timber-lined and equipped with light and power, providing an excellent multi-purpose space ideal as a home office, studio, hobby room, or subject to the necessary consents, potential conversion to a self-catering chalet. Further enhancing the appeal are a brick-built outbuilding and three garden sheds, offering excellent storage for gardening tools, outdoor pursuits equipment, or general workshop use — perfectly suited to those seeking a Highland lifestyle with space and versatility.
