Description

Mid Feddal is a substantial period farmhouse in a rural setting between Kinbuck and Braco, with a detached one-bedroom cottage, outbuildings and around 1.4 acres of grounds. The main house dates from the 1800s and was extended to provide six bedrooms and spacious, flexible accommodation. Original details include stained glass, wood panelling, period fireplaces and a butler's pantry. The farmhouse is being sold as a renovation project and requires extensive upgrading and repair. It is not listed, although any proposed alterations would still need the relevant checks and approvals. The separate cottage is described as being in move-in condition and provides self-contained accommodation. The grounds include a private woodland area, a separate access road and established garden space. A garage/workshop and former stable block with three stalls add further utility. The land is described as residential garden ground, with any development potential subject to verification. The property is on the road towards Cromlix and within reach of Dunblane's amenities, schools and transport links. The seller notes that services, systems and appliances have not been tested, so purchasers should make their own inspections and obtain professional advice on the condition of the house, cottage, outbuildings and grounds.

75out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £490,000, Mid Feddal is exceptionally cheap against the local £/sqf benchmark, giving buyers a strong entry point for a substantial rural property. The farmhouse is a major restoration project: photographed rooms show damaged and stained finishes, worn timber floors and dated fittings, while the available roof views look intact but cannot confirm their condition. The separate, more maintained cottage offers practical accommodation while work is carried out, and the farmhouse’s period fireplaces, stained glass and panelling provide character to restore. With 1.4 acres and a garage/workshop and former stable block, there is plenty to shape, though any future use or development potential needs checking.

Key opportunities

  • Restore the farmhouse’s period fireplaces, stained glass, panelling and timber features as the basis for a distinctive family home.
  • Use the separate, more maintained cottage for guest or family accommodation, or potentially as a rental, while the farmhouse is renovated.
  • Clear and improve the 1.4-acre grounds and explore practical uses for the garage/workshop and former stable block, subject to inspection.

Key risks

  • Stained and damaged finishes across several farmhouse rooms, dated fittings and worn floors make the £90,000–£180,000 works range a substantial full-project budget and programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
