Cleish, Kinross, Perth and Kinross

A wonderful steading conversion offering flexible accommodation with 5 acre paddock.

Doocot Steading is an impressive and characterful period home, offering versatile living space including a substantial detached garage. This former steading has been thoughtfully converted to retain its unique historical identity, most notably the original stone nesting holes from its time as a dovecote, alongside exposed timber beams, vaulted ceilings and bespoke stained glass.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across two levels, designed to capture natural light and the surrounding vistas. The ground floor features a spacious living room with a focal wood-burning stove and direct garden access via French doors, complemented by a large room and a well-appointed kitchen. Two well-proportioned bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large utility/ store also occupy this level, providing flexible living arrangements well suited to guests or multi-generational living.

On the first floor, the primary living space is found in a magnificent sitting room, defined by a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and a vaulted ceiling with exposed rafters. This space flows into a formal dining room, creating an ideal environment for entertaining. The upper level also houses a secondary kitchen/breakfast room and two further double bedrooms, including the principal suite with en suite facilities. Throughout the home, skylights and large windows frame the rolling countryside and create a bright, airy atmosphere.

The building can be used as a large family home or can be split to form a main home with separate cottage. The property is set within generous grounds. A gravel driveway provides ample parking and leads to a detached stone-built garage/workshop. The gardens feature a stone-paved terrace, ideal for outdoor dining, alongside lawns. Adjoining the house is a large paddock.

In total the grounds extend to approximately 5 acres.
