Old Edinburgh Place

An expansive and well-located modern home.


Description

Kerrera was built in in 2003 as a single storey property which was extended in 2017 by the current owners to create additional bedrooms on the first floor as well as an impressive, bright sitting room that gives the whole house a luxuriously spacious and open plan feel. At the front of the house a vestibule opens to the reception hall from where two steps lead into the music room which is open to the sitting room. With a roof light and a wall of glazing on its south side, this bright and expansive room is designed for entertaining. Its woodburning stove provides a warming focal point in the winter while glazed doors link it to a decked terrace in the summer. The sitting room is open to the dining area which is glazed on two sides and is in turn open to the kitchen. These rooms form the hub of the house. The high-quality kitchen has a four oven AGA, timber cabinets ,a central island and granite work surfaces. Behind the kitchen, the utility room has an additional electric oven and hob, lots of storage, a door to the terrace and access to a boot room. From the boot room there is access to a walk in pantry, a shower room and the integral garage.

Also on the ground floor is a family room which would work well as an office; the principal bedroom suite with its dressing room and shower room; bedroom two with an en suite shower room; two further double bedrooms; and a family bathroom. Stairs from the hall lead up to two lovely attic bedrooms which share a bathroom. Although in the eaves of the house, the rooms on the first floor are all light and spacious.

Garden
Kerrera is set in about 0.64 acres of immaculate landscaped garden. Wrought iron gates open to a tarmac driveway and parking area beside the house. Neat lawn wraps around the south and west of the house where specimen trees along with shrubs and hedging provide interest and screen the railway line which runs along the southern boundary of the garden. The garden feels enclosed, peaceful and private.

Garage
The double garage is integral to the house and can be accessed from the boot room.

Timber outbuilding
An attractive open fronted timber shed measuring 8.5m x 4m is situated close to the house . Although it does not have planning permission to be used residentially, the building could lend itself to a number of uses depending on a buyer’s requirements.

Summerhouse
A pretty summer house is located at the bottom of the garden.

Location

Kerrera is situated in a quiet residential cul de sac in Bridge of Earn which is a thriving village on the south side of Perth. The house is only a few hundred yards from a small supermarket with Post Office, a bakery and three pubs. Although very close to Perth, Bridge of Earn has its own distinct community with a bowling green, tennis courts, village hall and a primary school. Kerrera is also well placed for a choice of local schooling with Perth Academy, Perth High School and Bertha Park schools all situated in Perth. In terms of private schooling, Kilgraston, Strathallan and Craigclowan are all within 4 miles of Kerrera.

Perth (4 miles) has a range of high street shops as well as professional and health services. It has numerous popular bars and restaurants as well as a concert hall, theatre, art gallery, museum and cinema. The town’s leisure facilities also include the Perth Climbing Centre, The Willowgate Activity Centre, Perth Leisure pool, and two sports centres. There are local golf courses at the North Inch, Craigie Hill and Murrayshall, while Gleneagles and St Andrews are both within 30 miles. There is National Hunt racing at Scone Palace, which also hosts The Scottish Game Fair.

Perth is often referred to as a gateway to the highlands and for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits the rivers, hills and lochs of the Perthshire highlands and the Angus Glens are all within easy reach, while the ski slopes of Glenshee are about 45 miles north.

Perth train station has regular services to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness and London. Edinburgh Airport is about 37 miles away and there are direct flights from Dundee Airport (22 miles) to London City. All distances and travel times are approximate.
