Summary - THE BOTHY, SPITTAL OF GLENSHEE, BLAIRGOWRIE, GLENSHEE PH10 7QE
1 bed 1 bath Detached
Peaceful Highland retreat with large garden and excellent outdoor access.
Detached one-bedroom stone cottage with modern extension and character features
Set in the southern edge of the Cairngorms National Park, The Bothy is a single-bedroom detached stone cottage on about 0.2 acres. The house blends original early-1900s character—crow-stepped gables and slate roof—with a sympathetic modern extension and substantial renovation completed in 2016. High-quality finishes include Amtico flooring, oak internal doors, double glazing and underfloor heating to the sitting room and bathroom.
The layout is compact but flexible: a generous sitting room (formerly a second bedroom) with a wood-burning stove and French doors opens onto a timber deck and garden, while a bright double bedroom has built-in wardrobes. The attic is fully decked and carpeted, providing extra storage or occasional sleeping space, but has restricted headroom. A separate utility houses plumbing for a washing machine and a UV filter serving the private water supply.
Practical running details: mains electricity, private septic tank drainage, private shared holding tank with UV treatment, and excellent mobile signal. Broadband speeds are very slow — an important consideration for anyone needing reliable high-speed internet. The site offers a chipped driveway with several parking spaces, two timber sheds, mature hedging and silver birch trees for privacy.
This cottage will suit someone seeking a peaceful Highland retreat or a downsizer wanting low-volume living with outdoor access to walking, fishing and winter sports nearby. Note the remote location: local services are limited (nearest town Blairgowrie 19 miles), the wider area is classified as very deprived, and the property relies on its private water and septic systems so routine maintenance responsibility falls to the owner. The sale includes fitted flooring and integrated kitchen appliances.
