Gair Lodge is a characterful, detached two-bedroom cottage set in a large, one-third acre garden with wide countryside views. The heart of the home is a vaulted open-plan kitchen/dining/living room with high windows, a contemporary wood-burning stove and direct access to a patio — ideal for family life and entertaining. Two timber summerhouses, a gated gravel driveway and a substantial garage add practical outdoor space and scope for hobbies or home working.
The cottage retains traditional features such as exposed stone walls and ceiling trusses while offering modern comforts including double glazing, fibre broadband and oil central heating. The fully boarded and insulated loft presents realistic potential to extend into attic accommodation (subject to planning), and the large garage has pre-drawn conversion plans ready for submission if a buyer wishes to create additional living space or an annexe.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is oil-fired and the property is served by a private septic tank (registered with SEPA). The current EPC rating is E. The property sits in a remote rural area with average mobile signal; council tax is above average and the wider area records higher deprivation indices, which may affect service provision and resale market nuances.
Gair Lodge will suit buyers seeking rural privacy, generous outdoor space and characterful living, particularly families or those wanting a countryside retreat with future extension potential. Viewings will best serve those who value indoor-outdoor flow, independent outbuildings and scope to personalise a well-maintained traditional cottage.
