For Sale5 Bedroom House in Callwood Cottage, Aberfeldy, Perthshire, PH15 2ND£470,000

*Closing date set Tuesday 28th May 12 noon* Pretty traditional cottage with guest cottage between Kenmore and Aberfeldy Callwood Cottage is a traditional Perthshire cottage which was once part of the Menzies Estate. The adjacent smiddy was formerly a blacksmith's forge and much of the work carried out there would have been shoeing the cattle which travelled outside the property along the old drovers' road in front. The cottage is believed to date from c1850 with the smiddy pre-dating this possibly from the late 1700s. The cottages sit side by side and are approached from a parking area on their western side. Callwood Cottage is characterised by its traditional smart red painted timber porch which frames the front door. However the property is more regularly entered from the parking area where a path leads to the back door and into the utility room (where there is also a WC). The welcoming kitchen has space for a large dining table in front of the warming two oven oil fired stove. It is open to the informal sitting room which has a wood burning stove and a recently fitted engineered oak floor that flows seamlessly between the two rooms. Also on the ground floor is a separate more formal sitting room with a wood burning stove. This room is linked to the kitchen on the east side of the staircase. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms (one with en suite shower room), and a bathroom. The Smiddy has been used as holiday accommodation by previous owners. It also works perfectly for guests or even multi-generational living. A neat vestibule opens to the living room which cleverly has space for the kitchen, a dining area and for comfortable seating in front of a wood burning stove. Two bedrooms share a shower room and doors from the back hall open out onto a small sheltered terrace. Outside Callwood Cottage is approached via a gated parking area which is set back from the main road and provides space for several cars to park and turn. The parking area and the rest of the property is completely enclosed and safe for children and dogs. An attractive burn runs down the north western boundary of the property and flows into the River Lyon. The front garden is separated from the roadside by a pretty stone dyke and has been landscaped with paths and herbaceous borders making the cottage look very pretty. Behind the house there are a number of delightful areas to sit out: a terrace at the back of the house is a great space for outdoor furniture; the studio behind also doubles as a sheltered spot to sit out in the evening; while behind the garage there is a pizza oven and space for a few chairs. Higher up the grassy bank there is a summer house and decked area which is another lovely spot to sit out and enjoy the scenery.
