4 bedroom detached house

A characterful home in just over 3 acres of garden

Description

Cruivie was constructed in the late 1930s to a Canadian design. It has an intriguing character being constructed with Canadian cedar and with cedar shingles on the roof. The timber theme continues inside the house where a beautiful pitch pine staircase rises from a pine panelled hall with solid timber floor. The main reception rooms all face south and overlook the garden. The drawing room has an open fireplace and an attractive bay window making it a lovely room for entertaining. The dining room also has a fireplace along with French windows to the garden. A hatch links it to the kitchen. The kitchen is a comfortable open plan room with space to sit, eat and cook with a gas fired four oven AGA at its heart. At the dining end of the kitchen there is a door to a covered verandah providing a sheltered spot to eat out in good weather.

A series of useful rooms at the back of the house include a utility room, store/pantry, boiler /laundry room, fuel store, garden stores and a WC. Off the reception hall there is also a cloakroom/WC with space to hang coats.

On the first floor the principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms served by two shower rooms. Every bedroom has built in storage and there are two useful walk-in storage rooms on the landing. Original built in woodwork provides useful storage and adds character throughout the house. Cruivie has a large attic space which subject to obtaining the relevant planning consents, may be ideal for conversion into further accommodation.

Outside
Cruivie is set in about 3.14 acres of woodland garden. An in and out driveway edged with mature beech hedging creates a smart entrance and on the south side of the house a paved terrace and the covered verandah are lovely places to sit out in good weather. The garden is mainly open heathery grassland interspersed with paths and mature trees that provide privacy and encourage wildlife. There is a deer fence along the southern boundary of the garden. In 1993, outline planning permission (Ref.No93/01574/FUL now lapsed) was approved for a cottage in the grounds of Cruivie.

Outbuildings
Double garage and garden store

Location

Cruivie has a lovely position on the edge of the sought after Rosemount area of Blairgowrie. Set in just over three acres and surrounded by trees, it feels wonderfully rural and private but is only a short drive from the town centre. Blairgowrie is a busy rural town with a good selection of shops and professional services including three supermarkets, restaurants, medical centres and a cottage hospital. Perth and Dundee are both within 18 miles and offer a more comprehensive range of shops and amenities as well as museums and theatres. Cruivie is well situated for commuting to both, and is also ideal for those who enjoy the outdoors. There are three golf courses at the Blairgowrie Golf Course, together with three courses at Alyth and an 18 hole course at Dunkeld. Blairgowrie is 26 miles from the ski slopes of Glenshee, and the Perthshire hills and the Angus Glens are easily accessible. Fishing is available on nearby rivers including the Ericht, Isla and Tay.

There is primary and secondary schooling in Blairgowrie and private education is available at Craigclowan, Glenalmond, Strathallan, Kilgraston and Dundee High School which are all within about 25 miles. There are railway stations at Perth, Dundee and Dunkeld. Dundee Airport has direct services to London City while Edinburgh Airport has a wide range of domestic and international flights.
