Yarra Cottage is a charming and immaculately maintained two-bedroom detached home offering a peaceful rural setting while remaining convenient for Dunblane’s schools, shops and railway station.

The second bedroom also includes wardrobe storage and is served by a fully tiled, contemporary shower room.

The garden grounds offer a tranquil outdoor space with lawned areas, mature planting and a decked terrace - perfect for enjoying the peaceful outlook. The plot is particularly generous, and the rear garden offers considerable potential to extend the cottage, subject to the necessary permissions. Additional features include double glazing, oil central heating and drainage understood to be to a septic tank.
