Easter Bendochy House, near Blairgowrie, has all this and more – including a large balcony, a striking verandah and even a hot tub in the garden – all set in the rolling Perthshire countryside.
Built in 1996 on the site of a former steading, the extensive property is arranged in an L-shape around a central courtyard and has a wealth of space both inside and out.Old stone has been reused throughout to create an impressive and stylish home.Part of the property has been converted from the original farm buildings and now houses two independent apartments – the two-bedroom Sidlaws and the one-bedroom Bothy – as well as a gym, a large office, a games room and a home cinema, complete with seating, lighting and a sound system.
The four-bedroom main house would make an ideal family home with lots of space for entertaining, while the two apartments provide the opportunity to create an income stream from letting or to create independent accommodation for relatives, guests or for running a business.
There is also scope to link the Sidlaws apartment to the main house.
The southern façade of Easter Bendochy is striking in its design, with a semi-circular roof terrace creating a covered verandah below – ideal for outdoor entertaining in the Scottish summer weather.
The property also benefits from renewable energy, with a ground-source heat pump and solar panels.
A garage and garden store are set withing the grounds, which extend across more than four acres and include two paddocks and entered via an electric-gated driveway.
The property is on the market with Savills at offers over £825,000.
