Watch PropertyDorich, Glen Derby, By Kirkmichael PH10 7NA
3 Bed Detached Bungalow - Offers Over £330,000
J&H Mitchell are delighted to bring this attractive three bedroom, Norwegian style log home situated in the woods of Glen Derby to the market.
This attractive house is situated within a large area of mixed woodland and owns an 8-acre site. There are other similar properties in the area each occupying its own land so they are well spread over the glen.
The house itself is of timber log construction with a grass roof which has solar panels across the front which are visible in the photos. It has a warm and inviting feel to it and is very spacious inside. Enter at the front into a bright sunroom with full height windows. This leads to a large open living room/dining room and kitchen. The kitchen area is partitioned from the rest of the living space. This is a good sized kitchen with wall and floor units and various appliances however it would benefit from upgrading.
Bedroom one is a large room with an en-suite shower room with a large wet room style shower, wc and whb. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
To the rear there is an integrated garage which houses the controls for the solar panel heating which feeds power back to the National Grid.
Externally the house is accessed via a gravel track. To the front there is an area which can easily be made into a cultivated garden if desired. The rest of the site is predominantly of heather, moorland shrubs and a mixture of broadleaf, pine and fir trees. The area attracts an abundance of wildlife including pine martens, deer, red squirrels and birds. These are frequently seen close to the house as well as throughout the glen.
This house would make a beautiful home for someone who would like a more peaceful rural life but still be in easy reach of the amenities provided by Pitlochry which is approx. 15 miles away. Alternatively the house would be suitable as a second home or holiday let.
Back down the hill there is The Log Cabin Hotel which has a bar and restaurant. It’s a short drive back to Kirkmichael where there is a village shop and Pitlochry is approx. 15 miles to the west and provides a good range of shops, schools, cafes and restaurants as well as the Festival Theatre. There are good road and rail links to the Central Belt and the north. Additionally there is a bus service connecting Kirkmichael to Perth.

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.
