Brae Cottage

A traditional stone built cottage in need of renovation to take it in to the 21st century.

The house would need to be taken back to the stone walls and a new layout created within the walls.

There is no Home Report for this property as it is uninhabitable in its present condition. From the surveyor ' where the way the home is marketed suggests it is unsuitable for occupation in that condition. There is little point in a condition survey being undertaken on a home that is unfit for occupation in any case, and is being advertised as such.'
