A lochside haven with about 11.6 acres, water frontage and potential.
Description
Bruach Bhan is believed be early Victorian, originating as a farmhouse and steading belonging to Atholl Estates. The property is situated on the south facing shores of Loch Tummel. The front door opens into a dining hall with doors to a cosy sitting room with wood burning stove on one side and to the kitchen on the other. The kitchen has painted timber units, space for a dining table and a deep blue four oven AGA. Off the kitchen is the office. All these rooms are filled with southerly light and have a glorious view over the loch. About 15 years ago the house was extended to the rear to create a back hall with WC and back door. It also allowed for a new staircase and space for three bedrooms served by a bathroom and a shower room. There is useful storage built into the eaves.
Steading
The former cart shed and steading is an L-shaped stone building which has fallen into disrepair. It is situated just to the west of the house and has the same beautiful views over the loch. Planning permission (lapsed) was previously approved for a five bedroom house (05/00004/FUL) and a triple garage with office and staff accommodation over (04/00803/FUL) to be built on the site of this steading. Subject to obtaining the relevant consents there is enormous scope for a buyer to create guest accommodation or even a more substantial home with space for home offices or storage for boats and outdoor gear, depending on requirements.
Garden
The garden at Bruach Bhan has been landscaped to create an expanse of flat lawn overlooking the loch. Herbaceous beds, a rockery and a water feature all add charm to the farmhouse garden and there is scope to do much more. There is also a terraced vegetable garden, which surrounded by a deer fence and supplied with water, is ideally positioned to enjoy its sunny south facing position. There is a greenhouse and a series of raised beds. Above the vegetable garden is an orchard of productive fruit trees with lovely blossom in the spring.
Land
Bruach Bhan is set centrally in about 11.6 acres of land, which extends up to the road and down to the loch side where there is approximately 580 m of water frontage. Subject to obtaining the relevant planning permissions there is lots of scope to create a boathouse and jetty. The property is approached by a private driveway which leads a parking area behind the house.

Location
Bruach Bhan is situated in a gloriously peaceful and private position on the south facing slope of the north shore of Loch Tummel. The house has far reaching views up and down the loch and to the towering slopes of Schiehallion. The house is within striking distance of some of Perthshire’s most beautiful natural landmarks and towns: Pitlochry, Aberfeldy, Kenmore, Dunkeld, Blair Castle, The Queen’s View, Ben Vrackie and Schiehallion to name a few.
Although Bruach Bhan feels wonderfully remote, it is only 10 miles from Pitlochry, which caters for most daily requirements, with a supermarket, a variety of independent shops, restaurants and an acclaimed theatre. The town also has a medical centre, banks, post offices and a train station with services to Inverness and London.
Bruach Bhan could hardly be better placed for those who enjoy the outdoors. With about 580m of loch frontage and associated riparian rights, there is scope (subject to obtaining the relevant planning consents) to build a jetty and boathouse and there are any number of opportunities for boating, wild swimming, fishing, walking and cycling in the surrounding countryside.
All distances and travel times are approximate.
