This 1890 two-storey sits on a third of an acre in Scotland, Ontario — a small community about 20 minutes from Brantford and close to Norfolk County. The lot is one of the stronger selling points: generous depth, mature trees, a fenced yard, and a detached double garage with heat and hydro.
The kitchen has been updated with white shaker cabinets, butcher block counters, and a subway tile backsplash. The corrugated metal ceiling and exposed beam give it a distinct look. The living room and main floor primary bedroom have newer laminate floors and fresh paint. The rest of the house — laundry room, mudroom, upper bathrooms, and bedrooms — is more original and shows the home's age.
A new furnace was installed in 2025. The crawl space foundation means no basement storage. Buyers comfortable with an older home in a rural setting will find good bones and a usable property here.
