Set in the scenic village of Blair Atholl within the Cairngorms National Park, this Category B listed stone end-terrace offers traditional character and a substantial south-facing garden of approximately 200m2. The building’s stone and lime construction and pitched slate roof retain authentic period features and create a solid base for a comfortable family home or Perthshire retreat.
The house requires internal decorative modernisation and general renovation, presenting clear potential for someone willing to invest time and budget. Listed status will restrict some works and may cause additional costs or consent requirements; buyers should factor in specialist repairs and approvals. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal, and the property sits in an area of higher deprivation which may influence local services and funding availability.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, an affordable council tax band, on-street parking, and proximity to Pitlochry (about 7.6 miles) with wider services in both Blair Atholl and Pitlochry. The Home Report valuation at £225,000 indicates value against the current Offers Over £180,000 price, but the house’s renovation and listed-status constraints are the key considerations for purchasers.
This home is best suited to a buyer who values period character, outdoor space and rural living, and who is prepared to manage a sensitive renovation within a protected building. Professional advice on listed-building consent and a renovation budget estimate are recommended prior to offer.
