2 bedroom house for sale

Overview

A picture perfect Perthshire cottage. DescriptionComrie Cottage is a charming B Listed cottage believed to date from about 1840. It has been cherished by the current owner for 33 years during which time it has been refurbished, extended and carefully maintained. Latticed windows, Gothic arch details and exposed stone walls give it lovely traditional character while a conservatory (added in 2006) is a wonderfully sympathetic contemporary addition. The house is approached by a stepped pathway to a charming front door complete with climbing roses. On the ground floor there is a kitchen, conservatory, two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. Underfloor heating extends into all these rooms except for the bedrooms, and the conservatory has space for comfortable seating as well as a dining table. Double doors open to a terrace and it is a lovely bright room from where the idyllic riverside position of Comrie Cottage and its secluded sloping garden can be enjoyed. It is also perfect for entertaining. The Gothic arches of the original windows are echoed in the design of the conservatory's glazing. The first floor is occupied by one fabulous sitting room. It has been cleverly fitted with custom-made cabinetry and is characterised by its lofty ceiling and the pretty latticed windows that look over the front of the cottage. This room can be gloriously cosy with its exposed stone walls and open fireplace but is also perfect for summer days thanks to glazed sliding doors which open directly onto a balcony. From the balcony there are terrific views up and down the River Lyon and to the hills beyond. There is plenty of space on the balcony for outdoor furniture.OutsideComrie Cottage sits in 0.35 acres of an enchanting riverside setting. A gravel path runs around the house and lawns are edged with a mixture of neat hedging, rhododendrons and old stone walls. A terrace beside the conservatory provides a lovely place to sit out and enjoy the river, the views and the wildlife. Climbing roses, Sweet Peas and Honeysuckle make the cottage an utter delight in the summer.LocationComrie Cottage is located on the south side of the River Lyon, five miles west of Aberfeldy.
