General

Netherkirk House is a charming and delightful architect designed house in the popular Perthshire village of Rait. The house sits in a quiet position in the village with outstanding views over the Carse of Gowrie, south and east. The house is approached through an electric wooden gate via a most attractive drive line, with hedging and dry stone dyke, with a large gravelled parking area to the front of the house. Externally the house has a delightful “fairytale” appearance and is of a painted harled block construction under a tiled roof with turreted main entrance way.

Netherkirk House lies in an idyllic semi-rural village location in Rait on the Braes of the Carse of Gowrie. Perth (about 11 miles) and Dundee (about 12 miles) both offer extensive city facilities and can be reached in less that 25 minutes from the house by road. Edinburgh lies about 45 minutes to the south.

Sitting in an area of outstanding countryside, and with exceptional far reaching views over open country to the south and east, recreational opportunities abound. Walking, cycling, riding and golf are all on hand locally. High quality shooting and fishing may also be taken in the area.

Accessibility to the central belt from the house is rapid, with the main A90 lying less than a mile to the south. Edinburgh airport lies less than 40 minutes away by road and both central Glasgow and Edinburgh can be reached in about an hour or less. There are mainline railway stations in both Dundee and Perth.

Independent schooling is available at the High School of Dundee, Glenalmond and Craigclowan Preparatory School in Perth.
