Superb family home close to Gleneagles

Description

Originally a 19th century farmhouse and steading, Millholm House has been developed and extended over the years to form the large family home that stands today. Internally the house is beautifully presented and in turnkey condition. The property has a wonderfully bright and airy feel to it with a proliferation of windows of all sizes bringing light into the house on every level. The front entrance is via a pretty covered porch which opens to a large and welcoming reception hall. The drawing room is a lovely formal room with a central fireplace and glazed doors opening up to the dining room. These two rooms are ideal for entertaining. On the far side of the hall is the kitchen complete with central island and dining table, a white two oven AGA and views over the garden. At one end of the kitchen there is space for comfortable seating surrounded by floor to ceiling glazed screens including doors to the back garden. A broad arch from the kitchen is open to a cosy sitting room/family room with a fireplace and built in shelving.

The house extends beyond the kitchen to the eastern wing of the house where guest accommodation is slightly removed from the body of the house. It would be easy to create a self-contained cottage in this wing if required. Here there is a sitting room with a cathedral style ceiling and a full height wall of glass flooding the room with light. At this end of the house there is also a study and a utility room with back door (which could easily become a kitchen). The east wing has its own front door. A spiral staircase leads up to a galleried landing off which is a double bedroom and a beautiful contemporary bathroom.

Stairs from the main reception hall lead up to three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a luxuriously large room with an en suite shower room and a dressing room. It is possible to walk through this dressing room to reach the eastern wing of the house. In addition, there are two further double bedrooms, a fabulous recently decorated bathroom and an office.

Outside
Millholm is set in 1.37 acres of garden and grounds. It is approached via electric timber gates which open to a gravel driveway and turning circle in front of the house. Most of the garden is enclosed by neatly clipped hedges and a border of mature trees and shrubs provide colour and shelter curving around the front of the house. At the back of the house is a beautifully sunny terrace and a burn runs along the northern boundary of the property.

Outbuildings
Triple garage with one single bay separated off to form a gym. A large floored loft above the garage has a window and subject to obtaining the relevant planning consents it may be possible to use this space as a larger office or guest accommodation.
