General
 The Steading enjoys a slightly elevated position with lovely views of the surrounding countryside about 1½ miles south east of the popular small 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. Closer to hand, the well regarded East Haugh House Hotel, which is open to non-residents, is within walking distance. There is also a good choice of Independent schools including Glenalmond, Morrisons, Kilgraston, Ardvreck and Strathallan all within a short travelling distance.
The area provides a good variety of outdoor pursuits such as fishing and other water sports on the various Lochs and Rivers; walking; climbing with several Munros in the vicinity; easy access to winter sports at Aviemore and Aonach Mhor; golf with a local 18 hole golf course and many 9 and 18 hole courses within 30 minutes drive. The main attraction of the area, however, is the glorious scenery.
DESCRIPTION
The Steading stands forward from the other buildings of the former Home Farm and in a slightly elevated position. It appears to date from about 1860 but the conversion in 1990 retained only the original walls; the interior timber framing and roof are all new and the layout allows for much flexibility to suit any owner.
