Character cottage with garden, driveway and garage — scope to update and personalise..
Detached traditional stone cottage with three bedrooms
Lilac Cottage is a traditional stone-built, freehold cottage on Rattray High Street offering three bedrooms, a cellar and handy driveway with garage. The main living rooms are bright with natural light and original character features visible externally, while a raised decking area leads down to a secluded, enclosed garden — a simple, private outdoor space for family use.
The house benefits from double glazing and gas central heating and sits in a convenient village location with easy access to local amenities and good mobile signal. The cellar provides useful storage or potential for a small home workshop or hideaway. The driveway and garage remove the parking worry often found on older High Street properties.
Buyers should note the property will benefit from updating and routine maintenance: the exterior planting is mature and partly overgrown, some areas appear to need work, and interior fixtures are described as dated. EPC band D suggests average thermal performance and running costs. The wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale dynamics.
This cottage will suit a buyer seeking a character home with practical outdoor space and parking, who is prepared to carry out modest modernisation to unlock the property’s potential. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, light and sheltered garden setting in person.
