Old Pitgober Cottage Dollar, FK14 7PQ Offers over £400,000

Welcome to Old Pitgober Cottage, which Harper & Stone are pleased to present to the market. Tucked away in the peaceful outskirts of Dollar, Old Pitgober Cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully extended period home with rural charm and modern practicality. Originally constructed circa 1875, this stone-built cottage has been thoughtfully and sympathetically extended by the current owners, preserving its timeless aesthetic while creating a home suited to contemporary living.

The Accommodation is presented as below:
Ground Floor: Entrance Hall, Lounge, Kitchen, Master Bedroom with Ensuite Bathroom, Three further Bedrooms and a Shower Room.
A loft Room accessed from the Principal bedroom.

Entry is via a traditional timber door into a welcoming Reception Hallway, where original proportions and tasteful updates set the tone. Beyond the entrance hall lies the kitchen, a warm and inviting space that perfectly combines functionality with charm. Fitted with open shelving, freestanding units (which are included in the sale) and practical worksurfaces, it echoes the cottage’s heritage. The creativity of the current owners is reflected in the style, where thoughtful details and unique touches create a homely and character filled atmosphere. To the right is the generous lounge diner, a triple aspect space bathed in natural light, featuring a multi fuel burner and generous proportions ideal for both quiet evenings and gathering with friends or family.

Returning to the reception hallway to the left is the central hallway to four well appointed bedrooms, each thoughtfully presented. Bedrooms 3 and 4 are situated at the far end of the hallway, creating a private and practical wing ideal for children, guests or multigenerational living. These rooms are well sized and filled with natural light, with ample room for double beds and freestanding furniture. This section of the hall also hosts two large storage cupboards, one of which cleverly accommodates a washing machine and tumble dryer, an excellent use of space. The sizeable family shower room lies adjacent and services bedrooms 3 and 4, offering a large walk in shower, vanity sink and WC, all finished in timeless neutral tones.

Returning to the original side of the cottage bedrooms 1 and 2 are cited. Bedroom 2 overlooks the garden to the side and has a bespoke vaulted window with large shelf space allowing the light to flood the room. The Principal bedroom features a private ensuite bathroom, offering a traditional sanctuary within the home. The bathroom is furnished with a free standing roll top bath with over bath shower, vanity sink with wrought iron stand and Victorian style high tank toilet.

Completing the interior is a loft room on the first floor, offering excellent additional space for a home office, creative studio or office/study.

Natural slate flooring runs through the lounge diner, kitchen and bathrooms, offering both durability and classic appeal. The rest of the property is laid with solid oak flooring, creating warmth underfoot and a seamless sense of flow throughout. Working wooden shutters feature on the windows, adding charm and privacy, while solid oak internal doors further reflect the quality and craftsmanship present in every detail.

Externally, Old Pitgober Cottage is set within its own enclosed gardens to the front, side and rear, largely bounded by traditional stone walls and offering a wonderful sense of privacy and space. The mature grounds are well tended and provide both sheltered sitting areas and room for planting or play. A private driveway to the front allows for off street parking. Old Pitgober Cottage is not a listed building and is not sited in a conservation area.

The sale will include all fitted floor coverings, light fittings, window coverings, and integrated appliances where applicable. Any other items are to be by separate negotiation with the seller.
