You cannot get much more blissful than the rural setting of this adorable cottage amid a tiny hamlet.
Garden Cottage is part of what was once known as Tullicro, a ‘fermtoun’ in Scottish English, meaning a collection of cottages for workers on a farm.
And you don’t just get one cottage for your money – West Cottage is also part of the property, a single storey structure currently used for storage which is ripe for renovation.
There are just four other inhabited properties in the small group of homes to the west of Aberfeldy in Perthshire, three of which are arranged around a neat triangle of grass affectionately known as the village green.
Garden Cottage has a studio living room with kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, utility room, store room and attic.
The surrounding countryside is a picturesque mix of rolling fields, woodland and heather-clad hills.
