4 bedroom house

A delightful home in the conservation village of Fortingall.


Description

Stablefield was built approximately 25 years ago on a piece of ground that was once the field by the stables of Balnald Estate. The house is built to a traditional design and with its rendered walls, slate roof and bay window, the house sits comfortably in its surroundings. The property is south facing and all its principal rooms are bright and immaculate. At the far end of the reception hall the sitting room has a cosy wood burning stove and large bay window overlooking the garden. The dining room, like the kitchen, hasglazed doors connecting it to the hall, so the southerly light flows through the house. The kitchen has a pretty farmhouse character with timber worktops, a Belfast sink and painted timber cabinets. On the ground floor there is also a utility room and WC.

On the first floor the principal bedroom has an en suite shower room and three further bedrooms share a family bathroom. Bedroom three is currently used as a study.

Garden
The garden at Stablefield is a particular feature of the property extending to 0.48 acres. A small burn runs along the northern boundary of the property and pretty herbaceous plants have been planted in beds around the house. To the east, the garden is mainly down to grass and subject to obtaining the relevant planning consents it may be possible to construct some more outbuildings, a garden room or even some guest accommodation in the grounds. Due to the size of the garden, Stablefield enjoys peace and privacy while also being in the heart of a friendly village community.

Outbuildings
The garage has both pedestrian and vehicular access and a window. Planning Permission (20/01230/FLL) has been approved to create a sun room at one end of the garage and, subject to obtaining the relevant permissions, this building has potential to be developed to suit a range of requirements.

Location

Stablefield is located in the conservation village of Fortingall, a few miles west of Aberfeldy. Fortingall is a beautiful village at the foot of Glen Lyon which is known for its picturesque thatched cottages and the popular Fortingall Inn. The surrounding countryside is a mixture of rolling farmland interspersed with woodland with rugged heather clad hills rising up behind.

Aberfeldy is the nearest main centre and has all essential services including a medical centre. The town has a great selection of independent shops, cafés and restaurants not to mention the Birks Cinema which screens mainstream films, has a popular bar and café and hosts a variety of community activities. Breadalbane Academy is well regarded and provides nursery to sixth year secondary education.

Stablefield is very well placed for enjoying the outdoors. In addition to a nine hole golf course at Aberfeldy, there are courses at Kenmore, Dunkeld and Pitlochry. Various water sports take place on nearby lochs and rivers with the rapids at Grandtully (14 miles) being popular for canoeing and rafting. There are some beautiful walking and cycling tracks in the area and fishing, shooting and stalking can all be taken on local estates. Amongst famous local beauty spots are The Queen’s View at Loch Tummel, the villages of Killin, Kenmore, the shores of lochs Tay, Tummel and Rannoch and several Munros including Schiehallion and Ben Lawers.
