Where the old meets the new
A traditional cottage just outside Pitlochry has been cleverly extended to create a large, modern home – and there’s scope for further expansion, Jack McKeown finds
Woodlands Cottage sits in Donavourd, a short distance south of Pitlochry. The detached three-bedroom house has been extended and modernised, blending the best of old and new.
The most striking part of the extension is a double-height living area with swathes of glass and skylight windows, making an impressive entertaining space.
The shaker-style country kitchen has an Aga and the sitting room has a gaseffect stove and feature stone surround.

• Woodlands House, Donavourd, Pitlochry, is on sale with Galbraith for offers over £330,000.
• www.galbraith.co.uk skylight windows along with french doors out to the garden.
Two bedrooms are upstairs and both the master and one of the guest bedrooms have en suites.
With permission for a utility room and car port in place, there’s scope to increase the property’s size even more.
The landscaped gardens have a driveway and parking, raised patio area, lawn and a burn.
There are two ways to access the house: a private driveway leads up from the main road and there’s also a track that’s shared by neighbours.
If you want to live in Woodlands Cottage you’d better move quickly, however, there’s been plenty of interest and a closing date has been set for Wednesday October 25.
