Watch PropertyThe Old Post Office, Logierait, PH9 0LH
3 Bed Detached Villa - Offers Over £300,000
J&H Mitchell are pleased to bring this attractive and versatile property to the market.
The Old Post Office has been run as a 4 star rated bunkhouse for a number of years and was previously rented out as a self catering cottage. However, with a few small adjustments, this property could easily be turned back into a home.
Currently the access to the property is via a timber extension on the gable end of the house. This contains a utility area and two toilets and a wash hand basin. Turning left you enter the main part of the house, first arriving at the modern kitchen which consists creams wall and floor units with a black worktop. There is an electric cooker, dishwasher and fridge-freezer. The kitchen has beautifully finished wooden flooring which continues through a sliding door into the living space.
This bright and spacious room has plenty space for a large seating area and dining table. There is an open fireplace which currently isn’t used and a glazed door to the front patio area.
On the upper floor, there are three bedrooms, two double and one single. Currently they are all set up as dormitories with bunk beds. There is a shower room with two shower cubicles and a wash hand basin.
Externally there is an old shed to the rear with potential to create storage space. To the front of the house, is a gravelled area with a fire pit. A covered area at the side currently provides covered seating but could easily be used as a wood store and turned into a garden shed. The garden is laid mainly to grass with mature trees.
At the end of the garden hidden in the trees is a wooden cabin. Although requiring some maintenance, this cabin provides potential as a garden room, office, studio or gym to name a few options. There is a decked area to the front and it all overlooks the River Tay. The house owns the land right down to the water’s edge and also comes with fishing rights to the area of the Tay immediately in front of the property.
Note – depending on the intended use of the property, the purchaser may require to apply for change of use back to residential. Purchasers should check this with their solicitor or the council.

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.
