An exceptional country house set in 20 acres of landscaped gardens and parkland.
Description
Milton of Machany is believed to date from the late 19th century. With its red sandstone walls, painted timber fascias and slate roof, it has all the character of a typical Perthshire farmhouse. Over the last two years the property has undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment, which has transformed it into an impressive and luxurious yet inherently homely and comfortable country house.
The quality of workmanship and the interior finish at Milton of Machany are truly exceptional. From top to bottom the house has been beautifully reconfigured and decorated mixing traditional and contemporary styles that suit the house perfectly. The main entrance is now on the western gable, framed by a painted timber porch. It opens directly into a bright and airy open plan kitchen and dining room. Light floods into the dining area via two large triple bay windows. A huge central island forms the focal point of the kitchen which has a white electric four oven AGA and painted timber cabinetry. Two tall back lit store cupboards with glass panels labelled ‘Butler’ and ‘Pantry’ add great character and one further glazed door with ‘Utility’ overhead, leads to a practical utility room where there is a sink, storage cupboards and integrated appliances including a fridge freezer, washing machine and tumble drier. There is a back door and plenty of space for coats, boots and dog beds. Beyond the utility room is a charming study and a WC.
The original front door, porch and reception hall sit between the kitchen and the sitting room. Elegant yet cosy, the sitting room at Milton of Machany has three large windows and a wood burning stove. The original curved staircase leads from the hall to the first floor where four beautiful bedrooms are accessed from a broad landing. Decorated in warm neutral tones, every room has a lovely view of the garden, is fitted with built-in storage and has a television. Each bedroom also has an en suite bathroom which is fitted with underfloor heating.
Outbuilding
A T-shaped garage complex sits adjacent to the house. Clad in timber and with a slate roof, this is an attractive building and creates an appealing courtyard at the entrance to Milton of Machany. Within the outbuilding there are four parking bays. Two are accessed via manual timber doors and two have remote controlled roller shutters. One further bay also has a remote-controlled shutter and houses a heated dog kennel as well as storage for cycles. There is a storeroom/ workshop which has a sink and acts as a useful additional utility space. There is also a plant room, temperature controlled wine cellar and a WC. To the rear of the garage is a garden machinery store/garage as well as several lean-to stores which are useful for logs and bins and which also house the pump for the original private water supply.
Guest suites
On the first floor of the outbuilding there are two guest suites accessed by separate external steps. Both beautifully decorated suites consist of a large bedroom with a bathroom and plenty of space for comfortable seating.
Garden and grounds
The grounds at Milton of Machany extend to 20.24 acres and have been beautifully landscaped and planted. The entrance driveway is accessed via a small bridge from the public road and neat stone walls frame an electric gate. From here a tarmac driveway curves through parkland to a stone gateway opening to a gravel parking area in front of the house. The driveway is lined with neatly mown verges and estate fencing. The parkland is planted with specimen trees protected with wrought iron tree guards.
A neat and thoughtfully designed garden surrounds the house. A paved terrace on the south side of the house is a lovely spot to sit out in the summer and herbaceous beds have been skillfully planted to ensure there is colour in the garden at all times of the year. The inclusion of old mill stones in the terrace are a nod to the mills that used to exist in the area. Smooth lawns extend from the house to the boundaries of the garden where specimen trees and azaleas have been planted to add colour and interest. A pretty timber summer house with a shingle roof, wooden floor and paved terrace is a lovely spot for entertaining. The garden is enclosed by estate fencing while the field extends as far as the solum of the Machany Water to the south and is otherwise enclosed by a stock proof fence.
Location
Milton of Machany has an idyllic rural location surrounded by gently rolling fields of the Earn Valley while also being in easy reach of the more rugged heather clad hills of Glen Turret, Glen Lednock and the Sma Glen which rise up to the north and west of Crieff (6 miles). The house enjoys glorious peace and privacy, but it is easy to reach Crieff, Auchterarder and Gleneagles which are all within 6 miles and offer an exceptional range of local amenities and leisure facilities. Perth (15 miles) and Stirling (20 miles) have a wider selection of shops, supermarkets, transport links and professional services. Perth has a concert hall, museum, art galleries, theatre, cinema and two leisure centres.
In addition to its famous golf courses, Gleneagles Hotel (5 miles) has a country club with a range of first class family friendly leisure facilities and restaurants drawing members and guests from far and wide. Fishing, shooting and stalking are widely available on local estates, and the hills and lochs of highland Perthshire offer endless opportunities for cycling, walking and climbing. Lochs Earn, Tay and Tummel are particularly popular with those who enjoy canoeing, sailing, paddle boarding and wild swimming.
There is an excellent choice of schooling within easy reach of Milton of Machany. The Community School of Auchterarder, as well as Glenalmond College, Morrisons Academy, Ardvreck, Craigclowan, Strathallan and Kilgraston are all within 15 miles.
