Full, in-perpetuity planning consent has been granted for the construction of two additional dwellinghouses – offering exciting development potential.

In addition, 3.5 acres of mature woodland are available via separate negotiation. Two paddocks with a field shelter, under separate ownership, are located adjacent to the property and may be available for lease from the neighbouring farmer.

The property benefits from mains electricity and water, supplemented by free-standing solar panels. Heating is provided via a ground source heat pump, and drainage is managed by a septic tank.

      Beat the Rush: Why Selling Your Home Early in the Year Pays Off

      By Joanne Stennett

      You’ve probably heard the saying, “the early bird catches the worm”. When it comes to selling your home, that couldn’t be more true. 2025 kicked off with a bang in the Highland property market, with a surge in buyer interest leading to quick sales and competitive offers.

      Sellers who listed their homes early in the year have reaped the rewards. Many of our new listings have flown off the market within just a few weeks, with well-priced properties attracting serious buyers eager to secure a home post-holidays.

      Traditionally, the first quarter of the year has been seen as a slow month for property sales, with many waiting until spring to list. But 2025 has bucked the trend. Buyers are out in force, and with fewer properties available, competition is fierce – creating the perfect conditions for sellers to secure strong offers.

      So, what’s the key takeaway? Timing is everything. Listing early means taking advantage of a dynamic and active market before the inevitable influx of spring properties increases competition. If the early momentum is anything to go by, 2025 is shaping up to be a strong year for property sales – but those who act now stand to gain the most.

      If you’re considering selling, don’t wait. The early movers have already benefited, and there’s still time to capitalise on a market that’s working in sellers’ favour. Get ahead of the crowd and make the most of this prime selling window before the market gets crowded.

      Joanne heads up the Estate Agency team in our Beauly office and is focused on ensuring her clients have a positive experience when they list their property with Bell Ingram. From country houses to farms and estates, she has been marketing prime residential property in the Highlands and Islands for over 17 years. Joanne is well known in the local area, having developed excellent relationships with buyers and sellers.

              Two Stirlingshire properties offer rare opportunity to own piece of Scottish architectural legacy

              Two Stirlingshire properties with an illustrious past, each telling a unique story of the region’s rich history and charm have been brought to the residential market.

              Callander Lodge and Callander Gardener’s House & Coach House, situated in the historic Leny Feus area of Callander offer a rare opportunity to own a piece of Scottish heritage.

              Callander Lodge and Callander Lodge Gardener’s House & Coach House have been brought to the market by Scottish Estate Agents, Bell Ingram for offers over £350,000 and £250,000 respectively.

              A striking example of Victorian architecture, Callander Lodge dates back to 1863 and has a distinguished history. Built for Colonel Robertson, a prominent figure in mid-19th century Callander, this villa was constructed during a period of significant local development following the arrival of the railway. As one of the finest villas in Leny Feus, the property catered to the growing influx of affluent tourists who flocked to the area during the summer months.

              The Lodge’s timeless design includes period features such as ornate cornicing, decorative dado rails, and grand fireplaces. The addition of a late-19th-century conservatory and an Edwardian Baroque-style entrance porch enhances its architectural appeal. Its original purpose and grandeur remain evident, making it one of the most well-preserved homes in the area.

              Set in 2.85 acres of mature, meticulously landscaped gardens, Callander Lodge reflects Colonel Robertson’s deep interest in horticulture. The gardens, featuring an array of mature trees and shrubs, offer a tranquil setting that beautifully complements the grandeur of the house.

              Situated nearby, the detached Callander Gardener’s House & Coach House offer a unique renovation opportunity for buyers interested in restoring a piece of history. Also dating from the 19th century and linked to the area’s expansion due to the arrival of the railway, this property was originally built as a gatehouse. Its gardens once served as the kitchen garden for Callander Lodge.

              Constructed of traditional stone with a slate roof, the Gardener’s House and the attached Coach House sit in grounds extending to 0.42 acres. While the Gardener’s House is in need of significant renovation, the adjoining stables and coach house provide ample scope for further development, subject to necessary planning approvals. With its period features, fireplaces, and ample space, this property offers tremendous potential for transformation into a unique residence.

              Leny Feus, where both properties are located, holds a special place in Callander’s history. Developed in response to the expansion of the railway in the 19th century, the area became a popular destination for wealthy visitors. Homes such as Callander Lodge and Callander Gardener’s House were purpose-built to cater to this demand, adding to the region’s charm and prosperity.

              Callander Lodge remains a symbol of the era’s architectural ambitions and aesthetic sensibilities. Meanwhile, Callander Gardener’s House and Coach House offer a more rustic, yet equally fascinating, glimpse into the region’s past, with the potential for a new chapter in their long history.

              For anyone with a passion for history and heritage, these properties present a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of Callander’s architectural legacy.

              Commenting on the sale, estate agent, Carl Warden, says: “These properties are not only remarkable for their architectural significance, but also for their deep connection to the rich heritage of the area. Whether you’re looking for a beautifully preserved Victorian villa or a restoration project with immense potential, these homes are steeped in character and history, offering an exceptional chance to create something truly special.”

                Is the Changing Weather Extending the Housing Market Season?

                By Joanne Stennett, Highland Estate Agent

                As the seasons shift, so too does the rhythm of the housing market. Traditionally, the colder months signalled a slowdown in property activity, with buyers and sellers retreating until the warmth of spring coaxed them back into action. But times are changing. Milder winters and a more stable climate have breathed new life into the housing market, keeping it active well beyond its usual prime.

                Take last year, for instance. The Highlands, typically dormant during the frosty season, witnessed an unexpected burst of activity. November, which usually sees a trickle of new listings, transformed into a bustling month for property sales. This trend spilled into January, with homeowners keen to capitalise on a less crowded market, drawing in eager buyers looking to get a head start on their property hunt.

                Why the shift? It seems the weather isn’t the only thing becoming more temperate. Sellers are warming up to the idea that waiting for spring isn’t the only strategy. They’re recognising that an early bird approach can capture the attention of buyers who prefer to move before the traditional rush.

                As we step into 2025, this pattern shows no signs of slowing down. The housing market, much like the climate, is becoming more fluid and adaptable. The winter months, once considered off-season, are now bustling with opportunities. This dynamic environment is perfect for both sellers and buyers who want to leverage the less competitive months to their advantage.

                So, whether you’re contemplating selling your home or on the hunt for a new one, this extended season might just be your golden ticket. The market is lively, the competition slightly thinner, and the opportunities abundant. Our team is here, as always, to guide you through every step of this exciting journey, ensuring you make the most out of the shifting tides.

                Don’t wait for the flowers to bloom – the time to act is now. Let’s make this unexpected extension of the housing market season work in your favour.

                  Looking for a market advantage? It’s time to adjust expectations.

                  By Andrew Fuller, Oban Estate Agent

                  The property market in Argyll and Bute and the Southern Highland region has seen significant changes recently. With the increase in the Additional Dwelling Supplement (ADS) to 8%, demand for second homes and buy-to-let properties has cooled noticeably, leaving sellers facing a more cautious pool of buyers.

                  Historically, the region’s beauty and charm have driven high property prices, with many sellers achieving premium values thanks to interest from holiday-home buyers. However, the recent tax increase, combined with relatively high interest rates and ongoing cost-of-living pressures, means that property sellers can no longer rely on the same level of demand.

                  Sellers must now adopt a more realistic approach to pricing. Over pricing properties at the initial listing risks prolonged time on the market, reducing interest and potentially leads to price reductions later.  Properties that are priced competitively, reflecting both market trends and buyer constraints, are more likely to sell quickly and achieve solid offers.

                  In areas like Oban, the Isle of Mull and the wider Argyll region, understanding local demand is crucial. Working with knowledgeable estate agents such as Bell Ingram, a company that grasps the shifting market dynamics, is vital. The days of inflated expectations are fading, and those who adapt their pricing strategies to meet the new reality will have the best chance of securing a successful sale. 

                  Andrew heads up the Estate Agency team in our Oban office and is focused on ensuring his clients have a first-class experience when they list their property with Bell Ingram. A resident of the Isle of Mull, Andrew is very well known across the West Coast of Scotland and has developed an excellent reputation for marketing prime residential property, including plots, crofts, island homes and lifestyle opportunities.
