Old Manse is a handsome Georgian former manse set on about 1.15 acres at the foot of Glenisla, with south-facing lawns, mature trees and productive fruit and vegetable gardens. The house retains many period details — high ceilings, panelled doors, cornices and shutters — and offers flexible family accommodation across three storeys, including five bedrooms and reception rooms arranged for comfortable living and entertaining.
A converted studio and former shop, garage, stores, greenhouse and paved courtyard create clear scope for ancillary use such as guest, holiday-let or home office space, subject to any necessary consents. Practical improvements include partial secondary glazing, a 2016 boiler and a reroofed outbuilding; parking is on a tarred drive and there is direct access to the garden and burn border.
Buyers should note the property is Category B listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate change of use or extension plans. The EPC rating is E, heating is oil-fired with private drainage, and mobile signal is reported as none. The upper shower room currently supplies cold water only and the council tax band is high — important practical considerations for running costs.
This is a rare rural family home for someone seeking a period property with generous grounds and ancillary buildings in a scenic glen-side location. It will suit buyers who value historic character and garden space and who accept the listed status and rural service limitations.
