The property is one of the oldest tin houses in Scotland, constructed in 1929 by the previous owner's family, has a rich history. The family acquired the building kit from Leverburgh following the death of Lord Leverhulme, which halted the construction of a health facility in the area. The owner resided in and maintained the property for over 90 years until his passing. The construction process began with the gable ends and chimney, followed by the completion of the sides with wood finishing with zinc. The property did not have a water supply until 1962, and electricity was installed seven years later, in 1969. The cottage is fitted with full night storage heating, ensuring warmth and comfort throughout the cooler months. The majority of the windows are single glazed with traditional metal casement frames, adding to the home's character and period appeal. However, the main bedroom, kitchen, and cloakroom have been updated with UPVC single glazing.
