The nine-bed Perthshire mansion for sale for £300k
Fancy a country house for £300,000? Built in the 1800s by Queen Victoria’s piper, this nine-bed pole in Perthshire is the ultimate refurbishment project
- House will appeal to developers for planning permission to split into apartments
- Real estate needs a plethora of work and needs a buyer with deep pockets
- It is called Dunolly House and is next to the river on the outskirts of Aberfeldy
A Perthshire town house is up for grabs for less than the average price of a London apartment.
However, the mansion’s price tag of £300,000 reflects the work to be done throughout the property.
It is in a state of disrepair and the buyer will need deep pockets to turn it into a modern – and comfortable – family home.
This nine-bed town house in the Perthshire market town of Aberfeldy is for sale for £300,000 through Thorntons estate agents
The property can be picked up by developers as it has planning permission to be split into five apartments.
The two- and three-bedroom apartments would range in size from 114 square meters to 140 square meters, and would include a balcony overlooking the river and a roof terrace.
The detached property was built in the mid 19th century by Duncan McDougall, a piper to Queen Victoria.
Called Dunolly House, it is located next to the river on the outskirts of Aberfeldy, a small market town in Scottish Perthshire.
The sale of the house is handled by Thorntons brokers.
The house has generous wraparound gardens – although much of it has become overgrown
