Characterful family home in a rural yet easily commutable setting
Description
What was once two stone built farm cottages thought to date back to the late 1800s, is now a superb family house. Braeside Cottage has been twice extended, most recently in 2007, to create an appealing country home with attractive and well-appointed living space throughout. The setting is special, with stunning views over farmland to the west and towards the Ochil Hills beyond. Despite its rural charm, the house is in a very commutable position, only a few minutes’ drive from the M90 junction, and 13.5 miles to the Queensferry Crossing.
The front door opens onto the entrance hall, providing access to a useful and well equipped utility room with rear door on to the gardens. A staircase leads up to the first floor landing, while the hallway continues through, passing by a storage cupboard and cloakroom, to the spacious kitchen with dining area. This dual aspect room features French doors leading to the rear patio, allowing the outdoors in and a seamless connection with an al fresco dining area. The fine fitted kitchen was installed in 2020, and provides ample storage and work space with both base and wall units and integrated appliances, including a Falcon range cooker.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a sitting room, well lit by three windows overlooking the side garden, with a wood burning stove which creates a cosy atmosphere in the winter months. From the sitting room a family room is accessed which offers flexible use, and leads on to a rear hallway, currently used as a reading and music area. To the rear of the property, a study, family bathroom and three bedrooms are all located. From one of the bedrooms, a fixed wooden ladder leads up to a large converted loft space with heat, lighting and carpet, offering excellent space.
Off the first floor landing the principal suite is located, with walk-in wardrobe, en suite bathroom featuring separate bath and shower, WC and basin, and a spacious bedroom with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. A further bedroom and bathroom are also located on the first floor.
Outside
A combination of low stone wall and mature mixed hedging border the property and its spacious garden. A tarmac drive leads through the wooden gates, which are set into a stone wall, continuing up to the front of the house where there is ample parking and a separate garage just a few steps from the front door.
The grounds extend to about 0.71 acres in all with the principal gardens sitting to the west and north of the house. The beautiful gardens are largely laid to lawn but interspersed and surrounded by shrubs and trees. To the rear of the property is a productive kitchen garden with raised beds and paved patio area outside the kitchen with westerly views to enjoy the evening sunset.
Outline Planning Permission
The current owners have obtained outline planning consent for an additional dwelling in the northernmost section of the garden at Braeside Cottage. Subject to the necessary approvals, this could be an excellent opportunity to build annexe accommodation for the main house, or a separate home. More details can be found on the Perth & Kinross Council planning portal (Ref: 19/01295/IPL).
