Charming two bed country cottage brimming with character in the quiet rural village of Millhouse, near Tighnabruaich. Originally forming one of four homes used by gunpowder workers, ‘Gunpowder Cottage’ is one of two adjoining stone cottages and comprises a cosy and comfortable open plan living accommodation with log-burning stove, two double bedrooms, modern shower room and utility room, plus a small storage space / sleeping area accessed by ladders off the hallway. Externally, the cottage has a good sized decking at the side which is perfect for completely relaxing or entertaining whilst soaking up the peaceful setting, and a further small garden at the front with a second decked area. This property would make a perfect full-time residence or holiday home / let and should be seen to be fully appreciated. Early viewing highly recommended.
