An exceptional family house with about 18 acres close to Dunkeld.
Description
The Bonnet was built in 2008. It is an attractive modern house and with its slate roof, rendered and stone walls, dormer windows and overhanging eaves it has traditional characteristics that ensure it fits comfortably in its rural surroundings. The house is approached by a neat gravel driveway which wraps around the house and leads to parking areas at both the front and rear. The front door opens to a welcoming reception hall and then to the loveliest room in the house which is an open plan living room, dining room and kitchen spanning the width of the house. Light streams right through the room giving it a bright and uplifting atmosphere. With space for a large dining table and its cosy wood burning stove, this room is perfect for family life but also ideal for entertaining. Double doors from the kitchen open to the sun room which again is gloriously bright and works as a more formal sitting room. The sunroom has double French doors opening to patios on either side of the house. Off the main hall there is a south facing double bedroom, a study/bedroom and a shower room. From the rear hall there is access to a large utility room and a WC. Both the front and rear doors of the house are situated beneath attractive over-hanging eaves which provide sheltered outdoor areas.
On the first floor an impressive principal bedroom suite also spans the width of the house. This is a spacious south facing room with a large walk-in dressing room and a bathroom with separate shower. Two further double bedrooms share a family bathroom and have built-in storage (as does the ground floor bedroom). There is also a linen store with a Ramsay ladder providing access to a partially floored loft. Throughout the house the timber doors and finishings are made of solid ash while the flooring in the reception hall, the open plan living area and the sun room are all solid oak.
Outbuildings
A pretty stone outbuilding lies perpendicular to The Bonnet and creates a courtyard feel at the rear of the property. Currently this houses a log store as well as a large workshop / garden store with stairs leading to a mezzanine level. However, subject to obtaining the relevant consents there may be potential to convert this into an office, guest bothy or independent cottage depending on a buyer’s requirements. Two greenhouses are also included in the sale.
Garden
The Bonnet is situated in a neat landscaped garden with flat lawn, herbaceous borders and borders of carefully chosen shrubs. Young trees in the garden include rowans, acers and silver birch. An established orchard produces pears, apples, plums and cherries and fruit bushes include gooseberries and blueberries.
Land
Two fields amounting to a total of about 16 acres to the north and south of the house are ideal for keeping ponies or hobby livestock and there is ample space to create more purpose built outbuildings should they be required.

Location
The Bonnet is situated in Forneth which is a rural hamlet about 6 miles east of Dunkeld and 6 miles west of Blairgowrie. The small but vibrant community supports a number of local groups centred around Clunie village hall. The house is surrounded by some of Perthshire’s most beautiful countryside with fertile farmland to the south and heather-clad hills to the north and west. The Bonnet is well placed for access to Perth and Edinburgh via the A9 and M90 from Dunkeld, and Edinburgh Airport is only 58 miles away. A sleeper service runs from Dunkeld train station directly to London. Dunkeld, with its historic cathedral and picturesque setting on the banks of the River Tay, is known for its selection of independent shops, its bakery, delicatessen, cafés and hotels, while Blairgowrie caters for most daily requirements with a range of shops and professional services including two supermarkets. Perth is 17 miles to the south and provides a greater selection of shops and services as well as cultural and leisure facilities and schooling. In addition to the Royal School of Dunkeld and primary and secondary schools in Blairgowrie, there are a number of private schools within easy driving distance including Glenalmond, Strathallan, Kilgraston, Morrisons, Ardvreck and Craigclowan.
The countryside around The Bonnet is beautiful and there are some great walks directly from the house to Loch Benachally and Loch Ordie to the north or the lochs of Butterstone, Clunie and Marlee to the south. Salmon fishing is readily available on the River Tay and stalking and shooting may be taken on several of the estates in the area. The Bonnet is also well placed for the ski slopes of Glenshee (16 miles). There are challenging cycling routes and wonderful walks that are laid out in the woods above Dunkeld as well as some notable Munros to the north.
All distances and travel times are approximate.
