A peaceful and private home in Strathtay

Description

Greenfields was built in about 1991. It is one of two houses approached by a privately owned road (over which it has right of access). The location is peaceful and very private with fields wrapping around its north west boundaries. The front door opens to a vestibule and then to a hall which connects the reception rooms on the west side of the house. Greenfields is arranged in an L-shape with a bright open plan dining/kitchen at its centre. The fitted kitchen has space for a dining table and is open to a spacious seating area where picture windows fill the room with light and sliding glass doors open onto a paved terrace. The dining room also has sliding doors to the terrace and connects the kitchen with the sitting room. One huge picture window forms a focal point in the sitting room which is lovely bright formal room. In the east wing of the property there are two double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. One of these bedrooms has been fitted with shelving and has been most recently used as a study. Its bathroom also has a door to the hall. On the first floor there is a bathroom and two further double bedrooms with velux windows and storage built into the eaves. Greenfields has a large and useful basement accessible by stairs beside the kitchen. Here there is a utility room and WC as well as access to a double garage, plant room and store room. Greenfields has been in its current ownership for about 20 years and is now ripe for refurbishment.

Outside
The garden at Greenfields is mainly grass with a few herbaceous borders near the entrance to the house. The garden is fenced and has huge potential to be landscaped further if desired. A triangular paddock is fenced off separately to the main garden and would be ideal for keeping poultry or hobby livestock.

Location

Greenfields is located 6 miles from Aberfeldy. It has a private and south-facing position on the grassy slopes of the hillside above the road that follows the course of the River Tay from Strathtay village to Weem. Strathtay village and the surrounding area, is a highly sought-after location characterised by beautifully kept properties, ranging from old stone cottages to magnificent Victorian villas in large established gardens. At the heart of Strathtay is a village store and post office as well as a bridge linking Strathtay to the neighbouring village of Grandtully, where there are two popular restaurants and a chocolatier with coffee shop.

Greenfields is surrounded by some of Scotland’s most varied and spectacular scenery and there are any number of opportunities for cycling (the house is located on National Cycle Route 7), walking and climbing. Several Munros, including Schiehallion and Ben Lawers are within striking distance. There are local golf courses at Strathtay and Aberfeldy and water sports on nearby lochs and rivers. The rapids on the River Tay at Grandtully are popular for canoeing and rafting and there is a water sports centre at Loch Tay. Fishing is available on the rivers Lyon, Tummel and Tay.

Aberfeldy (6 miles) and Pitlochry (10 miles) both have a variety of shops, restaurants and professional services including health centres. Breadalbane Academy in Aberfeldy offers primary to secondary schooling and its facilities also serve the wider community. Pitlochry has a railway station with regular services to London and Inverness. The A9 (5 miles away) is the main route north to the Highlands and south to Edinburgh.
