The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over two levels.

The front-facing family room provides the ideal space for relaxation, while the well-equipped kitchen features an AGA and is complemented by a practical utility room. This level also boasts two comfortable bedrooms and a well-appointed shower room. Additionally, a small hallway off the kitchen leads to two extra rooms, presenting an excellent opportunity for conversion into habitable spaces. A distinctive spiral staircase ascends to the upper floor, where two further bedrooms and an additional WC are located.
Externally, an attractive private drive from the B910 leads to the front of the cottage. The property includes two small paddocks on the east side and a private lawn to the west, a large front lawn, offering an ideal spot for children to play safely. The expansive grounds continue to the rear, partially set as woodland, providing a tranquil escape. Outbuildings await transformation into stables or annexe accommodation, adding further potential to this remarkable property.

Nearby Gartmorn Dam Country Park is perfect for enjoying the local countryside with family and friends, while the Ochil Hills provide breathtaking views across the Forth Valley. The nearby town of Dollar offers a good range of shops, primary schooling, and is home to the prestigious Dollar Academy. Additionally, there are several esteemed private schools within easy reach, including Glenalmond, Strathallan, Craigclowan, Kilgraston, St Leonard’s, and various institutions in Edinburgh.
