Description - Fairylea House is an outstanding 6 bedroom, 4 reception, 5 bathroom Country House, with impressive self-contained one bedroom annexe, in a delightful hideaway setting within attractive gardens and grounds of about 3.5 acres including an extensive range of stone steadings, a kennel, workshop, gym, home cinema/play area/gallery, garage, wood shed, greenhouse and all weather tennis court, catering to a variety of hobbies and interests.

Upon entering the main house, the charm is immediately evident and you are greeted by a large welcoming reception hall off the main entrance vestibule leading to a formal drawing room which has been beautifully extended opening into a large conservatory that will delight all who view, providing a wonderful space for entertaining guests. The cosier sitting room offers a perfect retreat for relaxation with a wood burning stove, while the superb fitted kitchen is ideal for family gatherings and culinary adventures. Further accommodation on the ground floor comprises a formal dining room, double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, WC, sun room and laundry room. The layout of the house is practical, with two staircases leading to the first floor, where you will find five further good-sized bedrooms, including two en-suite, alongside a shower room and a family bathroom.

The self-contained annexe with own separate entrance and communicating doors from the main house boasts all-on-the-level accommodation including a generous 18ft open plan living room/dining room/kitchen that cannot fail to impress with wood burning stove and French doors to gardens. A large double bedroom and modern fitted bathroom with separate walk-in shower and bath complete the annexe.

The sellers have carried out extensive renovation works over the years. These include underfloor heating throughout the ground floors, rewiring, re-plumbing and upgrading of the central heating system, upgrading the kitchen and bathroom fittings, re-tiling of roof and redecoration. More recently an air source heat pump system has been installed as the primary heat source with an LPG tank supplying gas for cooking in both the main and annex kitchens, and also powers two gas fires.

Location - Fairylea House is situated at the end of a well-maintained private farm road, in the heart of the Vale of Strathmore, a private and peaceful location while also being close to local shops in Alyth and Blairgowrie.

In addition to a Tesco Superstore, there is a range of excellent independent shops, cafes and restaurants.

Fairylea House is midway between Blairgowrie and Alyth and is well placed for road accessibility: the A94 through Coupar Angus connects Perth to Forfar and the main Dundee to Aberdeen road (A90).

Fairylea House could hardly be better placed for those who enjoy the outdoors. The spectacular Angus glens rise up to the north-east, and the Perthshire hills to the north-west. There is first class fishing on the Isla, Tay, Esks and Ericht. In addition to local golf courses at Alyth and Glenisla there are championship courses at Blairgowrie, and world-renowned courses at Carnoustie, Gleneagles and St Andrews which are all within 40 miles of Fairylea House.
