Location
Ardrennich is set within its own grounds in the heart of the conservation village of Strathtay. The village is characterised by its magnificent properties, many of which stand in large established gardens on the banks of the Tay. Strathtay has a village store and post office as well as a scenic and testing nine hole golf course. A bridge connects Strathtay to Grandtully where there are two excellent restaurants and a chocolatier with coffee shop, as well as a primary school and village hall which is the hub of a very vibrant community.
Ardrennich is well placed for those who enjoy outdoor sports. In addition to the course in Strathtay there are golf courses at Aberfeldy, Kenmore, Taymouth Castle, Dunkeld and Pitlochry. Various water sports take place on nearby lochs and rivers, with the rapids at Grandtully being particularly popular for canoeing and rafting. There are endless opportunities for hill climbing and walking nearby. Fishing is available on the rivers Lyon, Tummel and Tay, and shooting and stalking can all be taken locally.
The main attraction of the area, however, is the spectacular scenery, which includes some of Scotland's most famous beauty spots, namely: Glen Lyon, The Falls of Dochart, Kenmore, The Queen's View, the Pass of Killiecrankie, Schiehallion and Ben Lawers.
Aberfeldy (5 miles) and Pitlochry (10 miles) both have a selection of independent shops, restaurants and professional services. Breadalbane Academy in Aberfeldy offers primary to secondary schooling and has excellent facilities that serve the wider community. Pitlochry also has a railway station with regular services to London and Inverness. The A9 (5 miles away) is the main route north to the Highlands and south to Edinburgh. Edinburgh Airport is on the near side of the city. All distances and travel times are approximate.
Description
Ardrennich main house
The entrance to Ardrennich is by electric timber gates and a private driveway which passes The Coach House and leads to a parking area in front of the house. Ardrennich is believed to date from about 1900 and having undergone major refurbishment in 2007 its traditional features are now incorporated into an impressive contemporary interior. The striking front entrance opens to a vestibule and then to a welcoming reception hall. The hall leads into a formal dining area which is open to both the kitchen and the drawing room. There is a lovely flow between the main rooms on the ground floor and the house is ideal both for family life and for entertaining. The kitchen which has an informal family room at one end and a large central kitchen island is a social space and the hub of the house. It is a bright room lit by a wall of glazing overlooking the garden and by a roof lantern (complete with remote control windows). With cream painted units, acacia worktops and oak flooring with underfloor heating it has a light and natural feel. As well as a four oven electric Aga there is an impressive selection of integrated appliances including a Kuppersbuch wok, an induction hob and charcoal griddle as well as a dishwasher, microwave and pantry fridge. In the utility room there is a coffee machine, freezer, dishwasher and wine fridges as well as more storage cabinets and a hatch to the dining room. At the far end of the kitchen is a relaxed family / TV room with sliding glass doors to the garden. The cinema room has been fitted with a recessed screen and projector. Also on the ground floor is the drawing room and study, both with original bay windows and fireplaces, an office, wine cellar, boot room, laundry and 2 WCs.
A bespoke oak staircase with a slate feature wall rises to the galleried landing. The principal bedroom has a fitted bedside unit incorporating storage and lighting. It also has a dressing room and a fabulous en suite bathroom complete with a Jacuzzi bath and a walk in shower with two rainfall shower heads. From the principal bedroom suite there is access directly to a raised deck with a hot tub. There are four further double bedrooms (2 en suite) and a family bathroom. Above the garage and accessible either via bedroom 5 or directly from the back staircase is an expansive room which is currently used as a playroom but subject to obtaining the relevant consents could be converted for a variety of potential requirements.
Ardrennich is fitted with a Control 4 home automation and smart lighting system which controls an integrated lighting (by Mode Evolution) and sound throughout the house. The property is extensively fitted with CAT 5 cabling.
The Coach House
The Coach House was also constructed in the early 20th century. It was refurbished and extended around 2000 and has an open plan dining kitchen on the ground floor along with a study, WC and a conservatory. On the first floor is a sitting room, principle bedroom with en suite shower room and a second bedroom. Attached to the coach house but accessed seperately is a studio apartment with kitchenette, living room and shower room.
Outside
The gardens and grounds at Ardrennich are a particular feature of the property and provide the house with complete privacy. Mature trees include firs, Beech, Acers, Rhododendrons, fruit trees and a well-established Monkey Puzzle tree. Expansive lawns surround the house. There is a small pond by The Coach House and a stream feature that meanders down the garden to a well near the raised beds in the vegetable garden. A gravel path leads to the tennis court which is championship size and has floodlights.
