Location
Set in a wonderful location, beautifully positioned within circa 67 acres, an excellent opportunity to acquire an imposing, substantial, Georgian country house. Found in excellent order, ideal as a great family home or with business potential.
Built on the site of Dumcrieff Estate and Tower, which was granted to the Murray Family by the Duke of Albany, son of King James II of Scotland in 1482, the original portion of the house in its current guise dates from 1684.
Purchased by Sir John Clerk in 1727, the house was extended and the estate and parkland were laid formally to create the grounds and gardens of today.
Having passed through a number of different notable families, the property was purchased by Dr John Rogerson - personal physician to Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia, as his retirement property. Dr Rogerson commissioned and built the existing mansion house in the classical style popular at the time which is now category B listed by Historic Scotland.
Purchased by our current client in 2008, the property has undergone a thorough renovation with the installation of modern heating and bathrooms and is found in great order.
Ideal as a private gentleman’s residence, the property would also lend itself to the leisure industry, having previously been used as a wedding venue and holiday home.
