This is a rare opportunity to acquire a delightful stone-built mid-terrace house, dating back to 1885, located in the south Perthshire village of Braco. This three-bedroom, two-storey property blends period charm with modern comforts, and with its open outlook and lovely character features, it's a must-see for anyone seeking a traditional home with heart.
Positioned on Church Street in the charming village of Braco, this attractive mid-terrace house offers a rare chance to own a characterful property with a wonderful open outlook. Built in 1885, this stone-built home boasts an open outlook to the front, with lovely views of rolling Perthshire farmland and the distant Ochil Hills.
The ground floor welcomes you with wooden flooring throughout, lending warmth and charm to the space. The sitting room is particularly inviting, featuring a large west-facing window, bright feature wall, and the cosy focal point of a wood-burning stove set on a Caithness stone hearth with an oak mantle. This room has plenty of space for a dining table, making it perfect for both relaxing and entertaining.
A short passage leads through to the kitchen, which was newly fitted in 2022 with sleek grey units, a laminate butcher-block worktop, white metro tile backsplash, and eye-catching green walls. Integrated Hotpoint appliances, including a slim dishwasher, washing machine, induction hob, and electric oven, provide modern convenience, while a Samsung fridge freezer completes the well-designed space. A door from the kitchen opens onto the delightful rear garden, featuring a lawn, shed, and planted borders—ideal for enjoying sunny afternoons outdoors.
Also on the ground floor is a versatile third bedroom, which could equally serve as a home office or dining room, with views over the garden and a charming original wall cupboard. There is also a handy WC under the stairs, with eye-catching sparkly floor tiles adding a touch of fun.
Upstairs, you’ll find two cosy double bedrooms, both with walk-in cupboards. The rear bedroom enjoys lovely views towards the Ochils, while the front bedroom looks over the peaceful churchyard. The family bathroom is a stylish and functional space with slate floor tiles, a P-shaped bath with an electric shower overhead, and fresh white wall tiles. A linen cupboard at the top of the stairs houses the hot-water tank and provides excellent storage.
The house is heated by energy-efficient Rointe electric radiators, installed in 2022, ensuring warmth and comfort throughout the year. With its blend of modern updates and period charm, this property is a truly unique find in a sought-after village setting.
