Access is taken from the public road to the east via the existing private farm track.

This popular style farmhouse is spread over two floors and currently subdivided into two flats.

The "front flat" and the "rear flat".

The front flat provides, in its current configuration, two double bedrooms with a large living/dining room, small kitchen and family bathroom all on one level, while the accommodation of the rear flat extends across two levels, comprising three double bedrooms and family bathroom on the first floor and a kitchen, living room, boiler room/utility, porch and further bathroom on the ground floor.

While the property would benefit from a degree of internal refurbishment to bring it up to modern standards, it provides potential purchasers with the opportunity to put their own stamp on what is sure to become a comfortable and generously proportioned family home.

Outside the south facing enclosed garden, which extends to approximately 545m2 (0.13 acres), is predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed with a stone dyke.

The available space provides the potential to create a large south facing conservatory and patio area allowing for fine views across the surrounding countryside and Strathmore Valley throughout the year, subject to the necessary consents.

There are also a range of outbuildings/stores to the east which might lend themselves to a variety of uses such as garaging, a workshop, artist’s studio etc.

Overall, Powderwells Farmhouse has considerable potential to provide spacious and flexible accommodation and thereby create a beautiful family home with significant outdoor space, all in a delightful secluded setting within easy reach of local amenities and transport routes.

Lots 2 and 3Steading development siteExtending to approximately 0.88 of an acre in total and benefitting from planning permission in principle for two sizeable dwellings to be erected on the footprint of the now semi-derelict agricultural buildings.

The existing structure comprises the now redundant original L-shaped steading which dates back as far as 1867. The proposed sympathetic design would retain attractive features such as the roundel and existing stone and slate, with the second property being of similar design but based upon the former cattle court.

Both will benefit from mains water and a new septic tank with soakaway.

There will be a separate access to each property taken from the existing private road providing ample parking for multiple cars.
