Brae of Blackton is a detached three-bedroom cottage set in just over one acre of south-facing grounds with long country views. The sitting room features a wood-burning stove and original stone surround; the dining kitchen and sunroom both face the garden, and French doors lead to a patio for outdoor dining.
The grounds are a major asset: a walled kitchen garden, honeyberry orchard on a south slope, wildflower areas that attract wildlife, and several outbuildings including a workshop with power and a timber garage. Practical outdoor features include a potting shed, enclosed chicken run and car port/wood store, offering extensive scope for smallholding or serious gardening.
Buyers should note the property is rural and reasonably remote: broadband speeds are very slow, mobile signal is average, and the wider area is classified as remoter communities with higher local deprivation. Heating is oil-fired and drainage is to a septic tank; the energy performance is EPC Band D. These are manageable but important factors for those who need modern connectivity or lower-running costs.
Overall this is a characterful rural home for someone seeking space, productive garden land and self-sufficiency potential rather than urban convenience. The layout and large plot also suit buyers looking to enhance or adapt the buildings and grounds further.
