Arthurstone House, Meigle, Blairgowrie

Rosie Fraser Real Estate is delighted to present this distinctive two-story Georgian mid terrace dwelling, set within the highly desirable Arthurstone House and country estate, near Meigle, Perth and Kinross

Nestled within approximately 37 acres of stunning estate grounds, the property forms part of a charming conversion of an 18th century B listed mansion, into 15 unique individual residences.
Historically, Arthurstone Estate originally belonged to the Cistercian Abbey before the Reformation, of Coupar Angus and later passed to the son of Donald Campbell, the famous Abbot and a son of the Earl of Argyll. The present house was built by Captain James Ramsay, abolitionist, in the 1790s. By 1869 it came into the hands of Peter Carmichael, head of the renowned industrialists Baxters of Dundee. It remained in the Carmichael family until 1990, when it became, for a short while, a small independent school for girls, closing in 2003.
The subsequent, present development retains the character and form of the Carmichael house, yet introduces the comforts and conveniences of the new century.

The property location is served by several attractive nearby golf courses, plus the world-famous championship venues of St Andrews, Carnoustie and Gleneagles, are all with an hour’s drive. The location affords access to many historic sites and castles. The backdrop of the Grampian and Cairngorm mountains offers challenges for more serious climbers. There is abundant fishing on lochs and rivers close-by.
Arthurstone’s central geographic location means all Scotland’s major cities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee and Perth are each again approximately within an hour’s traveling distance.

The accommodation is arranged over two levels.
On entry from the courtyard there is a generous hall, part of which is set as a formal dining area providing a space for entertaining and family meals. There is a convenient WC and two storage cupboards adjacent.
The hallway provides access to kitchen and lounge, both with high barrel-vaulted ceilings and both south facing.

Kitchen
The stylish modern kitchen is fully equipped with integrated AEG appliances including an oven, induction hob, combination microwave, fridge freezer, washer dryer, dishwasher, and waste disposal unit. Accessed from both hall and lounge. There is ample space for dining, while enjoying exceptional garden views.

Lounge
The large high-ceiling lounge has French doors leading out on to a private patio and then the main terrace area beyond, again with extensive parkland views.

Bathroom and Bedrooms
Upstairs, the first floor comprises two spacious bedrooms and a beautifully appointed contemporary family bathroom featuring a bath, walk-in shower, WC, wash hand basin, heated towel rail, and useful storage. It is fully tiled and furnished with a range of high quality Villeroy and Bosh sanitary ware.
The impressive principal bedroom offers ample space for a king-size bed and additional furnishings, with dual-aspect windows flooding the room with natural light. The second bedroom is also a generous double, with room for further furnishings. Again both bedrooms face south, have views of the Sidlaw Hills and overlook the extensive grounds.

The property is equipped with a high efficiency gas fired condensing boiler designed to run a convenient flexible pressurised hot water system.
The original sliding sash and casement windows have been retained. Many incorporate the original timber shutters. The retention of these important building details is in accordance with the exacting conservation standards of Historic Scotland.
This property is provided with two, designated and conveniently located parking spaces and a large garage.
This property will suit those wishing to escape the noise and congestion of city living to enjoy the peace and serenity of a rural environment, having seclusion without isolation but with the safety aspect of a community setting. This environment can also provide
for those wishing to downsize from their larger rural properties while maintaining an atmosphere of space and tranquillity.
