Rural 1800s four-bed cottage on market for less than one-bed Edinburgh flat

A remote four-bedroom cottage in Scotland has just come on the market, and it's a lot less money than a one-bedroom flat in Edinburgh.

Ivy Bank is a cottage that dates back to the 1800s, and resides in the "peaceful rural" village of Duror in the West Highlands. The small and remote costal village could offer the perfect escape for those wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh.

It's also considerably cheaper than property in the capital, with a guide price of just £80,000. Meanwhile, most one-bedroom flats in the city cost at least £110,000.

The charming and historic cottage, while in need of a bit of renovation, is a true bargain. The building retains many original features — so much so that property specialists Cheap Scottish Homes have referred to it as "a little folk museum".

Taking a look inside, you can see where they're coming from. You can practically feel the history all around, from its alluring wooden floors to its period fireplaces.

The property consists of a hallway, lounge, kitchen, and bathroom, with two bedrooms on the ground floor. On the upper landing, there are a further two bedrooms — each teeming with character and charm.

The bathroom is a particular highlight, with an unusual mix of wood, tiles, and panelling. It even comes with a mini skylight, so you can soak up the sun while you soak in the tub.

As if that wasn't enough, Ivy Bank also features a generously sized garden — and even a shed and log store. A bit of tidying up could make it the perfect summer lounging spot.

With a tiny bit of modernising, this four-bedroom cottage could become a truly stunning and unique family home bursting with historic charm. For just £80,000, it could be yours.
