“We used to have a little farm that we worked on part-time in addition to the building business, but we sold that in 2002 and moved to Dollar for our children’s education.

“Shannon is 17 and has just left Dollar Academy while our son Kyle is 15 and still has two years to go.

“I really missed farming and you have to do what makes you happy, so we’ve bought a farm a couple of miles up the road.

“We were going to make the move last year but we bottled it because we’ve really enjoyed our time here.”

Situated in 1.3 acres of beautiful grounds, the property mixes traditional features like tiled and rustic oak floors, an imposing oak staircase and a woodburning stove, with high specification fixtures and fittings both inside and out.

Carl Warden, of Bell Ingram in Perthshire, said: “This property offers potential for a family looking for the ideal home that oozes character and that is abundant in its classic cottage features.

“What’s more, the uninterrupted countryside views it commands can only truly be appreciated in person.”

The property is on the market through Bell Ingram for offers over £795,000.
