Description
Old Courts House was built in 1991 on the site of former grass tennis courts which were historically used by residents of Spittalfield and neighbouring villages. Whilst the house is very much part of the village, it has lots of privacy, being approached from a country lane just off the main street. Over the years, the house has been upgraded and modernised and in 2020 it was fitted with a beautiful new Charles Yorke kitchen complete with painted timber cabinetry, a large built-in fridge, freezer and wine fridge, a gas range cooker and a breakfast bar. The kitchen is open to the fabulous Mozolowski & Murray conservatory where there is space for a dining table as well as comfortable seating. The conservatory is a wonderfully warm, bright and welcoming room, ideal for entertaining in the summer as it opens onto the garden. There is also a formal sitting room with a large wood burning stove making this a contrastingly cosy room in the winter. On the ground floor there is also a study (with access to the garden), a utility room and WC. On the first floor the principal bedroom has a large en suite bathroom with separate shower. Four further bedrooms share a bathroom and, subject to obtaining the relevant consents, there are options for creating another bathroom if required.
Garage
Integrated single garage
Garden
The garden at Old Courts House amounts to about an acre and is largely down to lawn with some established hedges and shrubs near the entrance to the house. A decked terrace on the east side of the house is a lovely space to sit out in summer. A pretty burn runs along the northern boundary of the property and there is lots of scope to do more with the garden depending on buyers’ requirements.
Paddock
An enclosed paddock of about 1.5 acres extends to the south of the house.
Location
Old Courts House is situated right on the edge of Spittalfield which is a village characterised by its pretty traditional houses set around a village green. Spittalfield has a coffee shop, a bus stop and also a local farm shop selling home grown produce. There is a local shop at Murthly (about 2 miles) and Blairgowrie has a good selection of supermarkets as well as health and professional services, while Dunkeld with its historic cathedral on the banks of the River Tay is better known for its independent shops, bars and cafés. The Meikleour Arms Hotel and Uisge in Murthly are two popular local restaurants. Dunkeld has a railway station with regular services north and south and a sleeper service to London. Perth and Dundee are only about 14 miles and 24 miles away respectively and provide a more comprehensive selection of shops, cultural opportunities, leisure facilities, travel links, hospitals and professional services. There is a primary school at Glendelvine (0.1 miles) and secondary schooling in Blairgowrie. There are also a number of private schools including Glenalmond, Strathallan, Ardvreck, Craigclowan and Kilgraston within about 30 miles.
Old Courts House is ideally positioned to take advantage of the many outdoor pursuits that Perthshire has to offer. There are some fabulous cycle paths and walks around the forests and lochs above Dunkeld, or along the River Tay and in the bluebell woods of Ballathie to name a few. Perthshire has many beautiful Munros, and lochs Tay, Earn and Tummel are amongst some of the most popular for watersports. There are also opportunities to fish on the rivers Isla and Tay, while Glenshee Ski Centre is only 24 miles north of Blairgowrie. Old Courts House is within 35 miles of some of Scotland’s finest championship golf courses including Gleneagles, St Andrews, Carnoustie and The Rosemount Course at Blairgowrie Golf Club.
