A Historic Smiddy with Character, Space and Renovation Potential

Once the village blacksmith’s workshop, this unique three-bedroom home in Tibbermore retains many original features including horse-tethering rings, a vintage factory act board and even a well in the garden. The property offers generous accommodation, extensive gardens and parking, while requiring upgrading and modernisation.

Accommodation

The main house began as a traditional “two up, two down” cottage, extended to create a large kitchen with the third bedroom above. The ground floor now includes: A spacious open-plan living and dining room (formerly part of the smiddy), centred around a stone fireplace with wood-burning stove. Original stone walls have been left exposed as striking feature walls.

A study, ideal for home working.

A cosy snug/reception room, which could also serve as a guest bedroom.

A bathroom with walk-in shower, separate WC and useful under-stair storage.

Upstairs are three well-proportioned double bedrooms. There is currently no en-suite, though buyers may wish to add one.

Garage, Workspace and Gardens

The original smiddy also houses a wide garage (two-car width with single entrance) providing one parking bay and a large adjoining workspace for tools, storage or home gym, with potential to extend into the roof space. Outside, a separate shed/workroom adds further storage. The wrap-around gardens feature a patio, wildlife pond, two apple trees and space to reinstate a productive fruit cage. A large driveway offers parking for 4+ vehicles.

Location

Ideally situated in the Perthshire countryside, the property enjoys a tranquil village setting while being only a short drive from Perth for shops, schools and amenities. Excellent road and rail links make both Edinburgh and Glasgow easily accessible, perfect for commuting or city visits.

Summary

This former smiddy is more than a house — it is a piece of local history, priced to reflect the work required. For buyers seeking a project with heritage character and the convenience of easy links to Scotland’s major cities, it offers rare potential in a desirable location.
