Summary - BURN ROAD COTTAGE, HIGH STREET, GRANTOWN-ON-SPEY PH26 3EW
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Characterful three-bed cottage in Grantown — cash buyers only, needs updating.
£20,000 below Home Report valuation
Burn Road Cottage is a compact three-bedroom semi-detached timber cottage located on Grantown’s High Street within the Cairngorms National Park. The house retains period character — dormer windows, decorative fireplaces and a wood-burning stove — and offers a flexible ground-floor layout that could suit a downsizer seeking a cosy, central home or a buyer wanting a small holiday base. Off-street parking and a secure concrete store add practical benefits in a town-centre location.
Important practical points are clear: the property is of non-traditional construction and is not mortgageable, so a cash purchase is required. The EPC is G and some updating is likely needed (insulation, heating and cosmetic refurbishment) to improve comfort and energy costs. Broadband speeds are slow, although mobile signal is excellent and basic services (mains water, drainage, electricity) are understood to be connected.
Priced £20,000 below the Home Report valuation and offered as a fixed price, this cottage will suit buyers who value location and character over turnkey condition. Rooms are modest in size (overall small footprint, about 531 sqft) so the house works best for one or two people, or as a holiday let/second home. The property’s strengths are its setting in Grantown-on-Spey with easy access to local shops, walks and community events, and its potential for a sympathetic, targeted renovation.
Buyers should budget for improvement costs and accept the limitations of a non-standard build and low energy rating. For someone looking to downsize into a characterful home in the Cairngorms, or a cash buyer seeking a small project in a desirable Highland town, Burn Road Cottage offers clear upside at a reduced price point.
