Description
Farmton was built in about 1987 on the site of an old farm steading. The house is constructed of brick beneath a tiled roof while the outbuildings, which form an attractive courtyard beside the house, have been built using stone reclaimed from the original steading buildings.
The front door opens to a vestibule and hall which gives access to all the main rooms in the house. The living accommodation is on the west side while the bedrooms are all to the east. The heart of the house at Farmton is very much in the kitchen which has a welcoming farmhouse feel with its three oven AGA and painted timber units. Behind the kitchen is a large utility room which has lots of space for white goods and laundry, along with a clothes drying pulley. Behind the kitchen there is also a larder/store cupboard and back door. The kitchen is open to the dining room which in turn has a door to the sun room. With large windows on two sides, the sun room is bright and cheery; perfect for enjoying the incredible view or watching television in the evenings. Both the sun room and the adjacent living room have picture windows designed to capture the southerly light and frame the panoramic view. The sitting room fireplace has a timber mantel salvaged from Crabbies’ distillery and this gives the room a characterful and warming focal point.
The principal bedroom spans the width of the eastern end of the house and has plenty of built in cupboard space as well as an en suite bathroom. Bedrooms two and three are south facing and also have excellent built in storage. These are served by a family bathroom and there is also a separate WC.
Currently all the accommodation at Farmton is on the ground floor, however within a large store cupboard off the hall there is a (removeable) timber staircase which provides access to the floored loft. Subject to obtaining the relevant consents, there is scope to create a more formalised second storey if required.
Outbuildings
The main outbuilding is a particularly attractive feature of Farmton. With a series of painted doorsit is an attractive and practical building with space for cars, fuel and garden machinery as well as a WC. Subject to obtaining the relevant consents, it offers potential for conversion into an office, studio or even a guest cottage depending on requirements.
Garden and grounds
Farmton is approached by a tarmac driveway lined with an avenue of trees and edged with neat grass verges. It ends in a parking area beside the courtyard which is also suitable for parking one or two cars nearer the house. The garden at Farmton extends to approximately 2.92 acres. It is mainly laid out to the south and west of the house where extensive lawn is enclosed by a neat hedge. Carefully chosen trees and shrubs including weeping pear, rowan, maple, plum, weeping willow, azaleas and camellia provide colour and interest in the garden while herbaceous beds are laid out closer to the house.
Location
Farmton has a wonderfully secluded situation at the end of a smart private driveway and surrounded entirely by fields. It has a pretty rural setting while also being well connected to local communities in Crieff and Auchterarder and is only 9 miles from Perth and all its amenities.
Perth has a range of high street shops, supermarkets, transport links and professional services as well as a concert hall, museum, art galleries, theatre, cinema, and two leisure centres. Gleneagles Hotel and Crieff Hydro are almost equidistant (within 12 miles) and both have excellent family-friendly facilities, while the surrounding countryside offers plenty of opportunities for golfing, fishing, shooting, stalking, hillwalking and cycling. Gloagburn Farm Shop and restaurant (7 miles) attracts visitors from far and wide and is an excellent source of local produce.
Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee are within easy commuting distance of Farmton and the house is particularly well placed for schooling. There is a local primary school in Aberuthven and secondary schooling in Auchterarder and Perth as well as a choice of private schooling with Strathallan, Kilgraston, Glenalmond College, Morrisons Academy, Craigclowan (prep school), and Ardvreck (prep school) all within 15 miles. Edinburgh and Dundee airports are 48 and 28 miles away respectively.
All distances and travel times are approximate.
