The Existing Dwelling – The Losset

The current property, known as The Losset, is a detached house occupying a generous plot with a large garden. While the house is in poor condition, it presents two distinct options for prospective purchasers:

Repositioning & Redevelopment: A separate planning application would be required to relocate the Losset to the northern section of the house site within the field. This allows for the construction of a modern, architecturally sympathetic home that aligns with the emerging street pattern of the new development. This repositioning ensures the new dwelling integrates seamlessly into the overall layout, avoiding the isolated feel of the original siting.

Retention & Renovation: Alternatively, purchasers may choose to retain and refurbish the existing property in its current location. This option may appeal to those seeking to preserve the character of the original home while still benefiting from the surrounding development potential.

Alyth is a charming and historic town nestled in the rolling hills of eastern Perthshire, Scotland. With its roots stretching back to medieval times, the town retains a strong sense of heritage, visible in its old stone buildings, narrow lanes, and the remnants of ancient churches. The Alyth Burn, a small river that winds through the heart of the town, adds a tranquil, picturesque quality to the landscape and is crossed by several quaint bridges, including the Packhorse Bridge, which dates back to the 16th century.

Life in Alyth is peaceful and community-focused. It’s the kind of place where neighbours greet each other by name and local events are well supported. The town has a modest but sufficient range of amenities, including independent shops, a primary school, a health centre, and a few cosy cafes and pubs. While it offers the essentials, more extensive services and shopping are typically found in nearby Blairgowrie or Dundee, both within a reasonable driving distance.

Nature plays a central role in daily life here. Surrounded by farmland, forests, and hills, Alyth is a haven for walkers, cyclists, and anyone who enjoys the outdoors. The Den of Alyth, a wooded gorge just outside the town, is a popular spot for peaceful walks and wildlife watching. The nearby Alyth Hill offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and is a favourite among locals for weekend strolls.

Despite its rural setting, Alyth is well-connected by road, making it a viable option for commuters who work in larger towns or cities but prefer the tranquillity of country living. The pace of life is slower, the air is fresher, and the sense of space and community is something many residents deeply value
