Studio flat for sale

Two double bedroom apartments with balconies, bow windows or private gardens, a luxurious three bedroom penthouse over two floors with balcony, hot tub and breathtaking views, private parking and lockable ground floor stores, landscaped garden and external areas, views to the Melville Monument and Glen Lednock from the upper floors, exquisitely finished interiors.

DESCRIPTION:
The apartments at Melville Courtyard will be finished to the exceptionally high standard which is now synonymous with developments by Braemore Estates. They will be sophisticated and modern but designed with traditional
values in mind. Contemporary lighting schemes and the very latest in kitchen and bathroom fittings will be combined with more traditional features such as plaster coving, solid wood doors and carved timber skirtings. Natural fibres will be used where possible with hard wood and 100% wool carpet flooring, and walnut and
granite work surfaces in bathrooms and kitchens respectively. Every detail has been painstakingly selected for its quality and its style; from light switches and door handles to bespoke walnut bathroom cabinetry. A bright open plan living room with kitchen and dining area will be the focal point of each apartment and picture windows fill the rooms with light.
The Edwin Loxley Premier Walnut kitchens are being designed for the apartments by Callum Walker Interiors of Perth. They will have
fully integrated AEG appliances, Franke sinks, granite work surfaces and high quality walnut veneered cabinets.

The apartments at Melville Courtyard will be ideal for holidays or weekends, being an easy drive from both Edinburgh and Glasgow
but equally suitable for buyers looking for a retirement apartment or an investment opportunity.

THE PENTHOUSE:
The 3 bedroom penthouse will span 2 floors linked by an architect designed glazed stairway. A bow-windowed living room and open plan kitchen and a guest bedroom will be situated on the lower floor. On the upper floor sliding doors will open from the landing to a balcony where a Japanese hot tub has wonderful views to the hills. The master suite has a dressing room, a study area and an oval bathroom with a magnificent free standing bath, and a conical roof with windows looking up to the stars. Two parking spaces will be allocated to the Penthouse.

ENTRANCE HALLS:
The reception areas will have wood panelled walls, tiled floors and silk wall lights ensuring a neat and sophisticated entrance. Each

Melville Courtyard is located in one of Perthshire’s most picturesque and unspoilt highland villages. Situated on the banks of the River Earn and with a backdrop of dramatic hills, the village is also the eastern gateway to The Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National
Park.

Comrie is a conservation village with a vibrant and friendly community where people come to live, to work, or to holiday and it has a plethora of clubs, associations and societies to suit all tastes. The White Church, which is also the community centre, is a focal point in the village attracting a high calibre of live music acts, whilst
nearby Tullybannocher has built up an enviable reputation for its thriving jazz scene. Regular events include Comrie’s famous Hogmanay Flambeaux Procession, Comrie Fortnight in the summer and participation in the Britain in Bloom awards.

Local shops and amenities in the village include a newsagent, a chemist, two excellent restaurants, a bank, a post office, a library
and a medical centre. Comrie is also home to a First Response Unit, a volunteer run organisation that provides a dynamic First
Responder Service to the community. There is also a butcher, delicatessen and a baker.

Comrie has just been awarded the 'Best Village' Shield 2009.

Melville Courtyard is an ideal base from which to explore the Scottish Highlands and indulge in outdoor activities.

Sailing, waterskiing, kayaking and sea plane flights take place on nearby Lochs Earn and Tay. There is trout fishing on local hill lochs
and first class salmon fishing on the River Tay and its tributaries. Pheasant, grouse and partridge shooting are widely available in the
area and there is stalking in the nearby hills. There are endless opportunities for cyclists and walkers and the slopes of Ben Vorlich, Ben Chonzie, Ben Lawers and the Ptarmigan Ridge are all close by. There are popular local golf courses in Comrie, Crieff and St Fillans and the famous courses at Gleneagles are about 17 miles away. Some of Scotland’s finest restaurants are within easy distance of Comrie. Five star rated Gleneagles Hotel is recognised as one of Scotland’s leading golf and spa luxury hotels. Not only does it have extensive sporting facilities including a riding and a shooting school
but it has an international reputation for its restaurants. The dramatic scenery of Balquidder Glen is home to Monachyle Mhor
hotel and restaurant, which has won awards for its locally sourced food. On the doorstep of Melville Courtyard, Comrie’s Royal Hotel has a reputation which draws people from all over Scotland.

Although much of its charm is in its rural setting, Comrie is well placed for access to some of Scotland’s major towns. Perth (24 miles) and Stirling (29 miles) both have a comprehensive range of high street shops and services and Comrie is almost equidistant from Edinburgh (58 miles) and Glasgow (54 miles). A choice of airports are within approximately an hour of Comrie; Dundee airport is 47 miles away, Edinburgh airport is 58 miles away and Glasgow airport is 64 miles away. All have regular flights to London and the south. Trains run regularly from Gleneagles (16 miles) to London, and
these include a popular sleeper service. There are also railway stations at Stirling, Perth and Dunblane.

PARKING:
A parking space will be allocated to each apartment and disabled parking spaces are also available. Four additional parking spaces can be purchased if required.

STORAGE:
Sizeable lockable stores for each apartment are located on the ground floor and will be ideal for keeping golf clubs, bicycles, skis and outdoor equipment. There is also a buggy store on the ground floor.

LANDSCAPING:
A landscape design for the external areas has been drawn up by Christopher Palmer Associates of Comrie. To the front of Melville
Courtyard, each of the ground floor apartments will have a private garden enclosed by an evergreen hedge. Caithness stone paving will
provide an attractive street entrance to the apartments.

A selection of colourful and scented plants such as Hebe, Escallonia and Hydrangea will soften the landscaping of the carpark and a small private garden with a seating area will be created for the use of all apartment owners.
Vehicular access is via stone gate piers on the eastern side of the building.
