Stylish cedar-cladded cottage nestled in a wonderful, elevated position amid spectacular mountains with a fully enclosed mature garden and a lovely wood burner for cosy nights in.
Perched on a hillside, 1 mile away from the astonishing Blair Castle, this charming, detached, single-storey cottage offers a small family or group of friends a homely, well-appointed base for adventures across the Cairngorms National Park. Close to some of the most renowned natural wonders in central Scotland, this cedar-clad cottage would be perfect for walkers, trail runners, cyclists, photographers and history buffs who love their time outdoors but always look forward to returning to comfortable surroundings. This idyllic property bathes in natural light and offers glorious views of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty beyond its wraparound garden, just the place for your dog to stretch its legs.
Surrounded by evergreen and deciduous trees, the cottage is reached via a gravel path with wooden borders which cut through the garden. The kitchen/diner is light and welcoming, the views of the glen and surrounding countryside offering a real feast for the senses at any time of year. The dual aspect views from the living room’s inviting sofas are equally stunning, and they’re just the place to curl up in front of the television or talk the day over with a glass of wine as your canine companion naps by the wood burner. The cottage offers a double bedroom enjoying views over the garden and beyond, and there is also a twin bedroom and a bathroom across the hall. The decked area overlooking the mature gardens is ideal for al fresco dining, red squirrel spotting and stargazing.
The cottage sits within 1 mile of the pretty hamlets and villages of Fenderbridge, Bridge of Tilt and Blair Atholl, which is home to the eponymous castle and dog-friendly gardens. The wooded river gorge at Killiecrankie (4 miles) is breathtaking, while the panoramic scenery at Queen’s View (9 miles) will live long in the memory.
