An impressive modern home with about 6.8 acres close to Perth.
Description
Originally a modest cottage, Burnfield was substantially extended and reconfigured in 2006. It is now an impressive family home characterised by bright and lofty rooms which are enormously comfortable and ideal for a family that enjoys entertaining. At the heart of the house the double height reception hall is a welcoming space with a gas fired stove inset into one of its walls. The sitting room spans the width of the southern wing of the house and has plenty of space for large pieces of furniture to be arranged around its open Jetmaster fireplace. Light streams through windows on three sides of the sitting room and it connects via double doors to both the conservatory and the dining room making it ideal for entertaining. On the opposite side of the reception hall is an open plan family kitchen with an island and space for a dining table and comfortable seating. The kitchen with its painted timber units and granite worksurfaces is equipped with a Rangemaster cooker, a wine fridge and a walk-in larder. From the kitchen there is access to a utility room with back door. The study, which overlooks the back garden, could if required be used as an additional bedroom, sharing a bathroom with bedroom 5 which is on the ground floor.
A galleried landing on the first floor provides access to four large bedrooms (two en suite). Useful storage cupboards have been built into the eaves. A spacious and versatile room on the second floor currently serves as an entertaining/games room which (subject to obtaining the relevant consents) could be converted into more bedrooms, a studio, office, gym or playroom, depending on a buyer’s requirements. The views from the second floor are superb.
Outbuildings
An L-shaped stable block is currently used as a garden store but is ideal for buyers who wish to keep horses. There is a double garage near the front door.
Outside
Burnfield is set in just over an acre of garden which is mainly down to grass enclosed by neat hedging. An ornamental pond with bridge and gazebo is a lovely feature at the southern side of the garden while a pergola beside the garage frames another sheltered spot for eating out in the summer.
Land
Behind the house is a field of about 6.7 acres which is ideal for horses and hobby livestock or even, in the case of the current owner, golf practice!
Location
Burnfield has a peaceful rural setting surrounded by open farmland and with a far-reaching view over the Earn Valley to the Ochil Hills and the hills of the Trossachs beyond. It is, however, only 7 miles from the centre of Perth.
Perth has a range of high street shops as well as professional and health services. It has numerous popular bars and restaurants along with 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 Auchterarder, the King James VI course (Perth) and Murrayshall (Scone), while Gleneagles (11 miles) and St Andrews are both within easy reach. There is National Hunt racing at Scone Palace which also hosts The Scottish Game Fair. There is a great selection of schooling locally with Perth Academy, Perth High School and Bertha Park school all situated in Perth, while Kilgraston, Strathallan and Craigclowan are all within 7 miles.
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 are easily accessible. The ski slopes of Glenshee are about 49 miles north while the beaches of the East Neuk of Fife are about 40 miles east.
Perth train station has regular services to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness and London. Edinburgh Airport is about 40 miles away and there are direct flights from Dundee Airport (20 miles) to London City.
All distances and travel times are approximate.
