Former Glenlivet Distillery Cottage With Three Bedrooms And Detached Double Garage In Scenic Rural Setting

Set within a small cluster of homes originally built for the Glenlivet Distillery, this semi-detached property enjoys a quiet rural setting while still being within reach of nearby amenities. Surrounded by open countryside, it’s the kind of location that appeals if you’re looking for a bit more space and a slower pace, without feeling completely cut off.

From the outside, the house has mature gardens wrapping around the front, side and rear. The detached double garage is a real advantage here, giving you not just parking but useful additional storage or workspace depending on how you want to use it.

Inside the home, you’ll find the lounge and dining area which stretches from front to back, with windows at either end bringing in light throughout the day. The wood burning stove sits inset within the chimney breast, creating a natural focal point and adding character to the room. The overall size gives you plenty of freedom with how you arrange your furniture, with plenty of space for a dining table and chairs too.

The kitchen is a stylish design, with glossy white cabinets fitted with long chrome handles, giving it a clean, sharp look. The wood effect worktops are carried up into matching splashbacks, visually tying the whole space together. Built-in appliances are neatly positioned within a tall run of units, where the double oven and microwave sit side by side, while the hob is set into the worktop next to this, keeping everything within easy reach as you cook. The stainless steel sink is positioned beneath a large window looking out to the garden, bringing in natural light as you use the space. There’s also room below the counter for both a washing machine and dishwasher. The walls are mostly kept neutral, with one darker grey wall adding a bit of contrast so the room doesn’t feel flat.

A door from the kitchen leads directly into the rear porch, itself is a useful addition. Glazed on three sides, it brings in plenty of natural light. It works well as a transition space between the house and garden, whether that’s for everyday use or simply somewhere to sit for a moment and look out.

Back inside, this property benefits from a ground floor bedroom, which sits to the front of the home. Having a bedroom on this level gives you flexibility, whether that’s for guests or family members with mobility issues. This is a good size double room with neutral white painted walls and a dark blue carpet.
The bathroom is a bold and distinctive space, finished with small mosaic style tiles in a bright aqua blue that immediately catch your eye. The bath is a large inset double ended design, giving you plenty of room to relax, with a shower fitted above and a screen in place to keep things contained. Alongside this sits a modern floating sink, paired with a white toilet, keeping the fixtures clean and contemporary against the more colourful backdrop. A large frosted window brings in natural light while maintaining privacy, and storage has been well considered with two mirrored cabinets mounted to the wall.
Upstairs, the landing leads through to two further bedrooms, both of which are comfortable doubles but each with their own individual finish. The first is a spacious room with white walls, lifted by a feature wall in blue and white patterned wallpaper that adds a splash of colour and compliments the deep blue carpet that runs underfoot. A large dormer window opens up the room while a radiator beneath keeps it warm.
The other bedroom follows a similar generous size but introduces a slightly different feel, with white walls complemented by a feature wall finished in a geometric triangular patterns in blue, white and grey. The same deep blue carpet continues through here, while a dormer window again has a radiator positioned below. Built-in cupboards have been worked into the room, providing useful storage without taking away from the overall floor space.
Homes in this setting don’t come up often, especially with this amount of space both inside and out. With three double bedrooms, a large main living area, modern kitchen and the added benefit of a double garage, this is a property that offers real potential in a genuinely appealing rural location. Arrange your private viewing with Hamish Homes to see what life here could look like.
