West Muirton, Muirton, Auchterarder, Perth and Kinross, PH3

A substantial detached period property set within mature grounds approaching half an acre. The property requires modernisation but also offers an exceptional opportunity for redevelopment

West Muirton is a substantial period property. The original structure is believed to date back to the mid-1800s and then sympathetically extended in the 1900s with the accommodation now arranged over two floors. It is set within mature garden grounds extending to just under half an acre.

The property has remained in the same family for over 50 years. West Muirton presents an exciting opportunity for refurbishment or redevelopment, particularly given the size and potential of the surrounding grounds.

Accommodation
The main entrance door has a decorative glazed panel and opens into a vestibule with a convenient storage cupboard. A glazed internal door leads into the spacious reception hallway.

To the right the large, bright and comfortable sitting room has windows to the front and side, an open fireplace, and sliding patio doors that open directly onto the garden.

To the left of the hallway, the formal dining room also has patio doors to the garden. A sliding door connects the dining room to the kitchen, which has a range of base and wall units with contrasting worktops. In addition to an electric oven and separate hob with overhead extractor, a tiled recess houses a range cooker. There is ample space for a fridge freezer, and windows to both the front and rear provide plenty of natural light.

A door from the kitchen leads to the utility room, which has a glazed roof, base units, a stainless steel sink, and generous space for larger appliances. Two external doors provide direct access to the garden.

Also on the ground floor is a convenient WC with wash basin.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, including a particularly spacious master bedroom with an open fireplace, windows to the front and side, and extensive built-in wardrobe space.

The family bathroom is well-equipped with a bath, separate shower, wash basin, towel radiator, and a built-in storage cupboard. A front-facing window allows for natural light. Additionally, there is a large storage cupboard on the upper floor giving ladder access to the boarded loft space.

General Remarks
The property now requires extensive modernisation. Given the generous garden grounds and prime location, it may be more appropriate to consider this as a development opportunity, potentially replacing the existing building with a bespoke, contemporary home designed to take advantage of the setting and space.
