Set within the Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park, this timber-clad detached lodge offers compact, low‑maintenance living with elevated countryside views from a wraparound deck. The open-plan kitchen/dining/lounge is the home’s focal point, supported by a principal bedroom with en-suite and two further bedrooms — presented ready to move into. Off-street parking and excellent mobile signal add practical convenience for owners and short‑stay guests.
Important transactional and tenure matters affect buyer suitability. The property is leasehold with around 40 years remaining, a high annual ground rent of £2,000, and will be sold via Modern Method of Auction. Bidding requires a non-refundable reservation fee (4.2% of the purchase price, minimum £6,000) and the sale is subject to an undisclosed reserve. Mortgage lenders may refuse to lend because of the short lease; purchasers should check finance options and commission surveys and legal packs before bidding.
For lifestyle buyers or investors seeking a holiday-let or rural retreat, the lodge’s scenic outlook and decked outdoor space are strong draws. Note practical limitations: the home is small (approx. 567 sq ft), broadband speeds are very slow, and the surrounding area is classified as very deprived — factors that may affect long-term rental appeal and daily living.
Viewings are recommended for those wanting a compact, ready-presented lodge in a notable national-park setting, but proceed only after thorough due diligence on lease terms, lender criteria and total purchase costs including auction and ground-rent liabilities.
