Daisy Bank is a rare Category B listed stone cottage with an attached timber ‘wee house’, set in the heart of Braemar within the Cairngorms National Park. The property combines clear period character — sash windows, original fireplaces, exposed wooden floors and dormer windows — with a careful restoration carried out over the last 20 years, creating comfortable living across two reception rooms and two bedrooms.
The house (main building 1,033 sq ft plus 428 sq ft outbuilding, total 1,461 sq ft) offers generous room sizes for a cottage, private off-street parking, and well-maintained front and rear lawns with a lean-to shed. Mountain views and village conveniences sit close by: shops, a primary school, health centre and leisure facilities are all within easy reach.
Important practical points: the property is Category B listed — any alteration will be subject to listed-building consent and can restrict changes and increase costs. Heating is by oil and the EPC is rated F, which may mean higher running costs despite the recent renovations. Broadband speeds are average, though mobile signal is excellent. These factual constraints should be weighed against the house’s historic significance and setting.
This home will suit someone seeking a distinctive period property in a protected landscape — ideal for downsizers, buyers wanting a second home in Royal Deeside, or anyone drawn to traditional Scottish architecture. It offers immediate occupancy and scope to personalise within the limits of its listed status.
