Ellenbank, Balmoral Road, Rattray, Blairgowrie, PH10

A sympathetically modernised Victorian home

Description

Ellenbank is an attractive Victorian house believed to date from about 1850. The property has been modernised over the years but many of its original features have been preserved, in particular the front porch with its red painted timber and stained glass detailing. The accommodation is arranged over three storeys. At the entrance level there is a beautifully proportioned drawing room with bay window and open fire. It sits next to a cosier sitting room with electric stove. Both of these reception rooms look over the garden towards the River Ericht. On this floor there is also a study linked to a multifunctional room (currently used as a gym) which has potential to be an additional bedroom if required. Steps from the reception hall lead past a WC to the lower ground floor where several rooms have been knocked together to form a fabulous open plan kitchen and dining room. From here there is access directly into the garden. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms (one en suite), a WC and a bathroom. Coved bedrooms, cornicework, the original stair rail and old fireplaces give the interior a lovely traditional feel whilst the modernised bathrooms and kitchen make the house extremely comfortable.

Outside
Ellenbank is approached by a bloc paved parking area beside the front door. Beyond the parking area the enclosed garden has been landscaped with terraces and paths as it falls away towards the river. There is a sheltered terrace outside the kitchen which is ideal for sitting out.
Ellenbank also owns about 0.53 acres of the bank of the River Ericht (see sale plan). The immediate garden amounts to about 0.3 acres.
