A farmhouse and courtyard with a glorious view over Strathtay.
Description
Croftspardon has a private and peaceful location on the side of a gentle hillside. It has the most fabulous view over Strathtay and westwards towards Ben Lawers. The property sits in about an acre and consists of an extended stone farmhouse with a courtyard of stone and timber outbuildings to the rear. Currently the property is home to a busy kennels and cattery. While there is a thriving business to take on if desired, there is also (subject to obtaining the relevant consents) great potential to convert the courtyard buildings to suit a new owner’s requirements.
Farmhouse
The house at Croftspardon has been modernised and extended over the years. At the front of the house is a cosy sitting room with built in shelving and an exposed stone wall framing an open fireplace. On the other side of the hall is a double bedroom with en suite shower room. Sympathetic extensions have been built on the south and western sides of the house adding a dining kitchen, a garden room with concertina doors and a family room. The family room has a wood burning stove and glazed concertina doors which capture the fabulous view and provide access to decking at the front of the house. There is also a utility room, boot room and WC. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a bathroom.
Outbuildings
Two stone and slate outbuildings lie perpendicular to each other and have been adapted for their current use as kennels. Dog runs and walkways link the two buildings. On the opposite side of the courtyard are two timber clad buildings; these are a cattery and a grooming parlour. Finally, there is a stone outbuilding with a timber lean to. This has garaging, storage and workshop space. For buyers who do not intend to take on the kennel business these buildings would (subject to obtaining consents) lend themselves well for uses such as home offices, a games room, gym, guest accommodation and storage of sports equipment.
Outside
Croftspardon is set in about 1 acre. There is a pretty terraced garden to the rear of the house and an enclosed lawn with decking to the front. The garden attracts many wild birds. A burn runs inside the eastern boundary of the property. On the southern boundary the current owners occupy an area of ground which is leased and this is not included in the sale.
Location
Croftspardon is situated at the end of a private no-through driveway, on the hillside between Grandtully and Aberfeldy. The property has a fabulous view over Strathtay. Grandtully, which is on the banks of the River Tay, has a growing reputation for its hospitality with The Highland Chocolatier, The Inn on the Tay and the Grandtully Hotel among its attractions.
Aberfeldy is the nearest main centre and has all essential services, including a medical practice. The town also has a great selection of independent shops, cafés and restaurants and Breadalbane Academy provides nursery to sixth year secondary education.
Croftspardon is surrounded by some of Scotland’s most beautiful countryside. There are many opportunities for cycling, walking and climbing and there are several Munros nearby. There are local golf courses at Strathtay, Aberfeldy, Kenmore and Taymouth Castle and opportunities for water sports on nearby lochs and rivers. The rapids on the River Tay at Grandtully are popular for canoeing and rafting and there is a water sports centre at Loch Tay. Fishing is available on the rivers Lyon, Tummel and Tay, and shooting and stalking can all be taken locally.
Croftspardon enjoys all the benefits of a highland location, while remaining very accessible: Perth, Edinburgh and Glasgow are all easily reached via the A9, and Pitlochry railway station has direct links to Inverness and London.
