SITUATION
Buchanty Schoolhouse sits at approximately 176 metres above sea level, surrounded by the upland Glenalmond farmland. The relatively secluded setting allows one to fully appreciate the scenery of the Highland fringe from the comfort of your own home. The predominant surrounding land use is almost exclusively livestock orientated agricultural enterprises with pockets of commercial forestry and amenity woodland interspersed with occasional residential building groups.

DESCRIPTION
Buchanty Schoolhouse is a detached two storey traditional stone and lime constructed building under a pitched timber-framed slate covered roof set within approximately 0.4 of an acre of enclosed mature garden ground.

Accommodation
The property currently extends to approximately 170m2 and benefits from a mix of single and double glazed timber framed and UPVC windows. Heating is provided by an oil-fired system with Raeburn in the kitchen providing an alternative cooking source to the electric stove. There is also a large log burner in the main living area to provide additional space heating. On the first floor the accommodation extends to two double bedrooms, one of which has dual aspect south and west along with an L-shaped storage neuk above the stairs that might lend itself to conversation to an en-suite dressing room or WC/shower room. The ground floor currently provides two further double bedrooms, both with en-suite, an additional bathroom and a smaller fifth bedroom/study, as well as a generous entrance vestibule, utility room and an impressive double height and large open plan kitchen/dining/living area (the former school hall) and would make a fantastic space for entertaining with access directly into the garden.

Outside
Externally there is a very attractive and mature enclosed wraparound garden which is partially laid to
lawn with a range of shrubs and herbaceous borders, log store and an additional timber framed storage shed.

There is also a substantial outbuilding/studio which is partially clad in timber with wood burning stove and mains electricity, extending in total to approximately 31m2. This space could easily be reconfigured as a workshop, home office or converted to provide self-contained accommodation, subject to securing the requisite planning permission thereon. The studio also provides a smaller brick-built storage area to the rear which would be ideal for garden tools/machinery or to house outdoor furniture over winter and assorted larger recreational gear such as bikes, kayaks etc.

Access to the property is directly off the C409 public road where you turn onto a large tarmac driveway which can accommodate multiple vehicles.
