The Subjects comprise a unique and most charming, traditional detached cottage-style dwellinghouse. It enjoys a picturesque
rural location within the slopes of the Ochil Hills and spectacular views over the surrounding Perthshire countryside. Adjoining
minor roads enable easy access to nearby towns and villages, not to mention also M90 and A9 connections.
Formerly two semi-detached cottages The Beeches offers comfortable, characterful and easily maintained accommodation
over one level, and ample scope also for further expansion, if so desired. Lovely surrounding aspects can be enjoyed,
particularly to the south and west sides. The living apartments include a triple-aspect living room, family/dining room, and also
a roomy kitchen, with useful utility and shower room off. A self-contained bedroom wing gives access to three double
bedrooms, and also a family bathroom. All windows are sealed-unit double glazed, and central heating is provided by an LPG
radiator system. Whilst some refurbishment and fresh decoration will be desired, this is a charming country home in a most
pleasant and picturesque rural environment.
The delightful tree-lined gardens extend to approximately 0.82acre or thereby and are well worthy of individual note. There is
forecourt parking to the cottage, and also an access gate off the south-most gable, including scope to facilitate driveway, or
garage, if so desired. The bulk of the garden ground lies to the south and to the west. It has been very well landscaped with
expansive lawns, eye-catching flower/shrub borders, and there is also a small burn, with two bridges, which meanders within
the embankment to the rear. A former Bothy has been adapted as a useful workshop/store. There is an adjacent greenhouse
and also a sitting/potting area unit within. Viewing is indeed well recommended.
