Ptarmigan

Ptarmigan is one of four new build homes to be constructed within this peaceful rural development only 10 miles from Perth. Accessed via a quiet country lane the property has a view of the Sidlaw hills to the south and the Perthshire hills to the north and west.

Double front doors open to a tiled vestibule with glazed doors opening to a broad and welcoming reception hallway. Fitted cupboards either side of the vestibule are ideal for coats and boots. Sleek grey tiles conduct the underfloor heating across the ground floor of the house. The entrance hallway flows into the open plan kitchen with dining area to the right, and the living room on the left. Beside the living room is a separate study/family room or a fourth bedroom depending on how a buyer wishes to use it.

Floor to ceiling windows which incorporate sliding doors fill the ground floor with light and provide a lovely backdrop to the dining area and one end of the living room. The kitchen has a central island and wall and base units fitted with granite worktops, a six ring ceramic hob, an electric oven and a wine cooler amongst the integrated appliances. Beside the kitchen is the useful utility room which has access to the double garage and also to the garden. A high spec ground floor shower room is just off the entrance hallway.

A floating steel staircase with a glass balustrade, a real feature of the house rises from the entrance hallway up to a stunning first floor sitting room with a glazed wall capturing a fabulous panoramic view. The master bedroom suite is magnificent. Spanning the entire width of the house it has a dressing room and a bathroom with twin washbasins, a bath and a walk in shower. Two further double bedrooms both have en suite bathrooms (one also accessible from the sitting room).

Externally Ptarmigan is approached by a shared private driveway which arrives at a parking area to the front of the house. The garden which will be fully enclosed on two sides by a post and wire fence, has been landscaped and sewn with grass. A terrace to the rear of the house is a lovely private area to sit in good weather. There is an integral double garage with remote controlled doors, power and lighting.

Although the development is rural and surrounded by stunning countryside, the nearest amenities are close by at Burrelton (three miles) which has a village shop, post office, butcher and a busy village hall. Coupar Angus (five miles) has a wider range of amenities including a health centre, supermarket, post office and fuel station. Perth (10 miles) and Dundee (17 miles) offer a more comprehensive range of professional services, national retailers and leisure facilities.

There are primary schools in Burrelton, Balbeggie and Coupar Angus while Blairgowrie and Perth have both primary and secondary schools. 2 Millstead is also ideally placed for access to some of Scotland’s best private schooling, with Craigclowan, Glenalmond, Strathallan, Kilgraston and Dundee High School all within easy reach. The A94 from Coupar Angus links to the A90 at Forfar providing fast access north to Aberdeen, while the A923 leads directly from Coupar Angus to Dundee. The M90 and A9 at Perth link to Edinburgh and Stirling respectively. There are mainline railway stations at Perth and Dundee. Dundee Airport has direct services to London Stansted, while Edinburgh Airport has a wide range of domestic and international flights.

The location is ideal for those who enjoy outdoor sports. There are three golf courses at Blairgowrie (including a championship course), a further three courses at Alyth and a newer course at Piperdam Country Club near Dundee. The Perthshire hills and the Angus Glens are easily accessible and popular with hillwalkers, there is skiing at Glenshee (about 35 miles) and first class salmon fishing on the rivers Tay, Isla and Ericht. For those who enjoy shooting and stalking there are plenty of opportunities on local estates.
