GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Rare to the market, Croft of Forneth is a gem of a property which lies beautifully nestled within 1.8 acres of glorious, landscaped garden grounds, with the most superb, elevated views and includes 13 acres of separate fully enclosed farmland which lies adjacent to the property, in the thriving and much sought-after rural hamlet of Forneth. This charming family home is ideally located equidistance to both Blairgowrie and the cathedral town of Dunkeld. There is a generous choice of amenities including a variety of supermarkets and shops, restaurants, bars and hotels, a health centre, nursery and primary schooling, and a great choice of specialist shops and eateries. Surrounded by some of Scotland's finest scenery, there are numerous leisure amenities available, including water sports at nearby Clunie Loch, tennis clubs, golf courses, ample woodland and hill walking including the local attractions of the nearby Hermitage and River Tay in Dunkeld, which has both running and cycling clubs. The ski slopes of Glenshee are within pleasant driving distance as is Pitlochry and The House of Bruar. There is a regular bus service to Perth and the surrounding villages and a useful train service from Birnam to Inverness, Perth, Glasgow, and Edinburgh and includes the popular Caledonian sleeper service to London Euston. The A9, just a short drive away, provides easy commuting to Perth and Pitlochry and all major cities and airports in the central belt, and north.
