We are delighted to bring to the market this superb and very attractive family home that is south facing and situated within an acre of stunning gardens providing excellent privacy and open views of the surrounding countryside. Hawkstone is beleived to have been a carpenters cottage on the Craigievar Castle Estate at Burnside in Muir of Fowlis. In the 1960s the cottage was completely renovated and extended to create a large two storey house with traditional slate roof and rendering while maintaining that period feel. It has been well maintained and upgraded by the current owners to provide spacious modern accommodation, perfectly designed for today's modern living. It benefits from UPVC Georgian style double glazing, oil fired central heating and wood burning stove. Other features of note are the stunning and tranquil rear gardens leading to the large decking area over looking the Leochel Burn and the large two storey barn. If you are looking for the perfect property in a country location with easy access to local amenities with space for small livestock, grow your own or with small business potential, we recommend early viewing of this one. It could be just what you are looking for.
