Wellandura, St. Fillans, Crieff, Perthshire, PH6

Attractive lochside villa

Description

Wellandura is a handsome C Listed stone villa built in 1872. It has wonderful character with its prominent turret and the decorative timber fascia that adorns the main gable of the property. Original timber skirtings, shutters and facings throughout the house mean that the property has retained much of its original character. Internally, the property would now benefit from modernisation. The vestibule (with its original floor tiles) opens to the reception hall where the staircase curves up to the first floor inside the turret. The sitting room is arguably the best room in the house with a wide bay window looking out over the loch. The dining room has a more angular bay window facing east and also has a fireplace, whilst the kitchen sits in the middle of the house and has a two oven AGA as well as an electric oven and hob. The study, conservatory, utility room and WC are at the back of the house where there is also a door to the garden. On the first floor the main bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and glorious views over the water to the hills beyond. Two further double bedrooms share a bathroom.

Outside
The entrance to Wellandura is via a short driveway framed by stone pillars with double gates. Original wrought iron railings run along the top of the roadside wall and there is a neat terraced lawn to the front of the house. There is plenty of space to park in front and to the side of the house. At the rear of the property the garden has been terraced and divided into sections with attractive stone walls. A pedestrian gate leads across a lane to an area of light woodland of about 0.36 acres which is owned by Wellandura in addition to its immediate garden of about 0.30 acres.
