General

Craiglea enjoys a secluded south facing location within the popular Highland Perthshire town of Pitlochry where there is a good range of local services. These include all professional services; a newly opened community hospital incorporating the doctors’ practice; Primary and High School; interesting shops; a mainline railway station on the Inverness-London line; and the famous Festival Theatre. The town, famed for its Victorian architecture, is a popular tourist base with its central location providing a good touring spring board. The pleasant county town of Perth offering a wide choice of cultural, shopping and professional facilities is about 30 minutes drive south. There is also a good choice of Independent Schools including Glenalmond, Morrisons, Kilgraston, Ardvreck and Strathallan all with a short travelling distance.

The area, which is renowned for its outstanding scenic beauty, offers a wide variety of outdoor and leisure pursuits, such as water sports on rivers and lochs, golf, walking and climbing, including a number of Munros. There is also a wide range of clubs and societies catering for most interests.

DESCRIPTION

Craiglea is a charming Victorian villa of attractive local stone and slate construction built in about 1895 with a later single storey brick built extension to the north and west. The rooms are bright and well proportioned and retain many original features, such as cornicing, open fireplaces and the original bell pull that rings a very effective brass bell in the dining room. A particularly attractive modern feature is the bespoke kitchen, hand-built in 2002 by Scottish craftsman Andrew Fitzpatrick, featuring solid maple units, granite worktops, a handcrafted painted dresser with beech block worktop and an Aga. Bedroom 4, and its neighbouring shower room, are accessed from the rear hall off the kitchen and also have a separate door to outside, thus forming a private, self-contained area, which would be ideal for use as a granny/au pair flat or self-catering/bed and breakfast unit if required.
