A STUNNING house with its own loch and 65 acres of countryside has gone on the market – for the same price as a city centre flat.
Idyllic Loch Cottage, in Kirkmichael, Perth and Kinross, is on sale for £250,000.
The two-storey cottage has beautiful, uninterrupted, views of the nearby luscious woodlands which span almost 50 acres.

The popular Cateran Trail, used for walking and mountain biking, passes within metres of the cottage, and the ski slopes of Glenshee are just a 30-minute drive away.
The River Ardle lies within the property’s acreage and potential buyers would have their own fishing rights for brown trout and salmon.
The ground floor has two front rooms, a kitchen and a larder, and on the first floor are two bedrooms and a bathroom.
A traditional stone byre is also attached to the cottage.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
