4 Bed Detached Villa - Offers Over £350,000
J&H Mitchell are delighted to bring to the market this rare opportunity to buy a substantial home in the centre of Pitlochry.
Ardochart is a generously proportioned, four-bedroom house set in good-sized garden grounds located on a quiet side street away from the busy town centre.
The house was constructed around the 1960s and whilst it would benefit from some modernisation, it is generally in good order and offers huge potential as a family home. It sits in a slightly elevated position and the overall feel of the house is of being bright and airy with large windows to the front, which maximise the views of the garden and the hills beyond the town.
This home consists of a large living room downstairs with picture windows. There is an adjacent dining room which leads through to a modern, cream coloured kitchen with a good range of wall and floor units, a cooker and space for a washing machine. The ground floor also has a fourth bedroom/study and a shower room to the rear. Upstairs, there is a family bathroom and three good sized double bedrooms all with large windows to the front, again taking full advantage of the views.
Externally the house is surrounded by attractive gardens laid partly to grass with shrubs and trees, with a stone wall to the rear and side. There is a large parking area to the front and a garage to the side of the house. Additionally there is a gate to the rear which provides walking access to Strathview Terrace.
Pitlochry is a popular town centrally located in Highland Perthshire. It benefits from good bus, train and road links to the Central Belt and to the north. The town itself has primary and secondary schools, a medical centre, small hospital and a good range of shops including a small supermarket. There are cafes and hotels and various leisure facilities, including an 18 hole golf course and the Festival Theatre. Visitor attractions include the dam and visitor centre and there are plenty walks and cycle routes surrounding the town.

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.
