2 Bed Detached Cottage - Offers Over £140,000
J&H Mitchell are pleased to bring to market, a rare opportunity to buy a two bedroom rural cottage located to the north of Calvine within the Cairngorm National Park.
Dalreoch Cottage is understood to have been originally built in the late 1700s and is located in Glen Garry, at the side of the old A9 road. It is surrounded by beautiful scenery with lovely views all round. It has been used as a much loved second home by the owners and now requires modernisation and renovation but presents an excellent opportunity to create a lovely home or holiday retreat. The cottage is being sold as seen with furniture and contents (excluding personal items)
Currently the water supply comes from rainwater collection into a storage tank at the rear of the building and there are also options to take water from the stream behind the cottage. There are particle and UV filters within the property.
The cottage consists of a living/dining room with multi-fuel stove set in a fireplace. The wood panelled kitchen has wooden floor units, a pantry and shelved cupboards. There is a cooker and fridge.
There are two double bedrooms. One of these has a fireplace and has previously been used as an additional living room. The shower room was replaced more recently and has a shower cubicle, WC and WHB. The cottage has electric storage heating.
Externally, the cottage owns approx. 2/3 acre of ground around it. The septic tank is located within the garden and there is a gate to access a driveway which is currently overgrown. The boundaries are part fenced and part stone wall. The walled area to the rear is part of the property and has old timber built sheds on it.
Note – There is a pre-emption right to the Atholl Estates on this cottage. A pre-emption right means that they have first option on buying the house. Once a formal offer has been made and provisionally accepted on the house, it must then be offered to the estate. They would have to match the offer but if they do then they have a right to buy the house over the person who originally offered.
The cottage enjoys easy access to the A9 ensuring good links north and south. Additionally the old A9 road is now part of the National Cycle Route 7 and passes by the cottage. It is located approx 15 miles to the north of Pitlochry where there are shops, schools, hotels and cafes. The town also houses the Pitlochry Festival Theatre and has good bus and rail links to the Central Belt and to the north. The House of Bruar is a few miles away as is Blair Atholl which also provides a village shop and railway station and is the location of the famous Blair Castle.
Directions
From Pitlochry, head north on the A9 and turn off to the right at the House of Bruar junction. Turn immediately left and continue onwards to Calvine. Pass the turn off on the left and turn left onto the old A9 which is marked as a cycle way just before the road returns to the A9 trunk road. (Please note that while this is a right of access to several properties it is also a cycle route.) Continue along this road for approx. 4 miles. Dalreoch is on the right shortly after you leave the trees.

Pitlochry, Kenmore
HIGHLAND Perthshire is widely acknowledged to be among the most scenic areas Scotland has to offer, acting as the gateway to the Cairngorm National Park, where development is strictly controlled.
Pitlochry lies in the shadow of 2759 feet Ben Vrackie and has long been a key halt on the north-south route linking the Lowlands with the Highlands, with her railway station dating back to the Victorian era.
Villas and the occasional extravagant tower dot the hillside and while it thrives as a year-round holiday destination encouraged by the Theatre in the Hills, The Etape Caledonia and The Enchanted Forest, a strong sense of community endures.
Like Pitlochry, the nearby town of Aberfeldy boasts a distillery and its own secondary school, along with an impressive recreation centre. Poet Robert Burns Birks o Aberfeldy helped put the town on the tourist map.
Kenmore, a village which can justifiably lay claim to be the prettiest in Perthshire, is tucked between the expanse of Loch Tay and the river which emerges from it en route to the North Sea.
Dunkeld is instantly identifiable thanks to its 1809 Thomas Telford designed, seven arch bridge linking with Birnam on the southern bank of the Tay, a medieval cathedral and the cluster of restored whitewashed cottages around The Cross and ornate Atholl Memorial Fountain.
Properties in both Dunkeld and Birnam, which were by-passed by the A9 in the 1970s, tend to generate immediate interest when they come onto the market.
Many of them date back to 18th Century reconstruction demanded after all but a handful of older homes were destroyed by a battle in 1689.
Set within a National Scenic Area, theres no shortage of trails to explore, with The Hermitage and its magnificent trees and folly just a few miles up-river.
The railway station on the outskirts of Birnam provides an alternative to road links with Perth and the Royal School of Dunkeld can trace its history back 450 years and more.
Both villages have a thriving cultural scene and a visit to the pioneering Community Orchard near the bridge is always fruitful in the autumn months.
Stanley, near the River Tay, is one of the Big Countys planned villages, dating back to the 1780s.
It was developed on the back of the nearby six-storey cotton mills which provided local employment for nearly 200 years before finally shutting down in 1989. These listed buildings have been transformed from industrial heritage into in-demand apartments.
Nearby villages like Luncarty, four miles north of the Fair City, have been mushrooming - with the commute to Perth promising to be made even easier with ongoing A9 improvements.
