General Description

Thought to date to the early 19th Century, Tigh Na Craig is a stone-built, semi-detached house, which is rich with quintessential period charm and has been tastefully renovated over the passage of time, to afford comfortable modern living. Situated in an elevated position, beyond a pretty, private garden, the house is orientated South West towards Loch Earn and commands spectacular, scenic views over the water and the surrounding upland landscape. The endearing stone façade of the house is decorated by overhanging eaves with attractive facia boards and soffit detailing and enhanced by charming climbing plants. Beyond the threshold, the generously proportioned accommodation has an inviting, heritage charm, with period features including shutters, cornicing and picture railing, complemented by fixtures including a wood burning stove, an AGA and a well-appointed conservatory, finished in a traditional image.

A pedestrian path leads down the side of the house and to the front elevation and to an attractive stone porch with pitched tiled roof and a traditional timber front door. From the porch an astragal half glazed door leads into the welcoming entrance hall, which provides access into the two principal reception rooms and houses the staircase to the first floor.

The sitting room has a bay window with a superb outlook over the garden and to the hills beyond. A central focal point to the room is the fireplace, with timber mantel and slips, which is complete with a wood burner set over a stone hearth. The room is comfortably proportioned, and character is further instilled by the picture railing and open shelving.
