There is full planning permission and building warrant for the barn conversion plus architects drawings and engineers certificate for connecting the barn to the cottage. This will make a much more substantial house/cottage in this prime location. An artists impression shows how the property could be developed along with a proposed floor plan. The property will then have:

Any purchaser who decides to develop the barn and connect it to the house will not only create a very desirable property in central Perthshire but also add considerable value. It is a rare and unique opportunity to buy a property with planning permission in such an idyllic location. There is the opportunity to increase the number of bedrooms and bathrooms by adding floors above the new kitchen and in the barn conversion. Crannach Ha offers huge potential as it has a large floor plan but most importantly, is in a very desirable location....

"A property can always be improved but the location is the most important element... location, location location!!!"

Fowlis Wester is 5 miles east of Crieff. It is an award winning picturesque hamlet with a 13th century church and a village hall. Crannach Ha's garden is spectacular throughout the year and very manageable. The views are south facing from this commanding panoramic setting. Once you enter Fowlis Wester, you will realise why it is one of the property hotspots of Perthshire. Despite having all the advantages of a quiet and tranquil setting, it is within a short drive to Perth and Crieff which provides all the local services and shops you could need.

Property features:
Picturesque semi rural hamlet location in the heart of Perthshire
• Oil Central Heating
• Partial double glazing
• Delightful garden setting
• Private parking
• Peaceful and quiet location with strong community spirit
• Full PP and building warrant to develop property into a unique cottage style dwelling house.

Crannach Ha has been sympathetically upgraded with a future owner now having the opportunity to extend the property into a substantial 3 bedroom home. It has an unrivaled setting in one of the most sought after Perthshire villages in Scotland. Internally it offers comfortable accommodation over two levels and aptly combines modern benefits with retained character and individual charm.

Office/study 11'6" x 11'4"
Stable entrance door with deep silled window and Velux window above. Separate fusebox and full power and light supply

Garden workshop/store 14' x 10'6"
Forming the remaining half of the barn, with roof access for added storage.

Services. Oil, wood burning stove in the sitting room, electricity, mains water, septic tank, telephone, broadband and sky plus good mobile phone reception. The central heating combi boiler also provides the instantaneous domestic hot water supply.

The property has not yet been offered to any Perthshire property estate agents or PSPC property sales. I am considering doing the barn conversion but other commitments are delaying the project, thus the opportunity to buy a fantastic property with all the planning in place!

Planning drawings...

All the permissions are in place along with engineers reports, so much of the preparations have already been done. However, there is plenty of scope for creating more accommodation by increasing the height of the barn and putting in a whole new floor or by adding an upstairs to the kitchen area.

There is also permission for a garage which is partly underground with a sitting area on top.
