An impressive and versatile modern home in the centre of Crieff.
Grimstokes was built in 2000. It was designed by the James Denholm Partnership whose houses are widely appreciated for their blend of traditional and contemporary features resulting in light-filled homes with lots of character. The house is built in an L-shape forming a welcoming entrance courtyard with lots of space to park at the front of the house. All the key living rooms at Grimstokes are laid out on the south side of the property. At the east end the kitchen spans the width of the house and has an island as well as space for a large dining table. It is open to a relaxed and cosy sitting room with gas fireplace. There are also two fabulous entertaining rooms including the dining room, which is almost seven metres long, and has a gas fireplace and large square bay window. It connects to the drawing room which is arranged over two levels. Currently, the upper level is used as a pool room (and has access to decking outside) whilst the lower level has a very different atmosphere with carpeted floor, vaulted ceiling and plenty of space for comfortable seating in front of the decorative chimney breast with wood burning stove. Other useful rooms on the ground floor include an office, utility room, boot room and WC. On the first floor there is a luxurious main bedroom suite with bathroom, dressing room and a glorious view to the Ochil Hills from its bay window. There are three further double bedrooms and a bathroom. At the west end of the house is the guest wing which is accessible either from the drawing room or from the courtyard. It has two en suite bedrooms; one on the ground floor and one above. A large landing on the first floor is currently used for additional bed space. Grimstokes offers the opportunity for a number of different room configurations and uses of space, including the potential for rental income, subject to relevant consents.
Garden
Grimstokes is approached by a gated private driveway from Connaught Terrace and sits in an enclosed garden of just over half an acre. The garden is wonderfully private being surrounded by mature trees, shrubs and neatly clipped hedging. At the foot of the garden is a children's play area and an expanse of lawn. Two areas of decking accessed directly from the house are ideal for eating out in summer. A pedestrian gateway at the foot of the garden leads onto a grassy lane (formerly an old drovers road), owned by Grimstokes, which provides a useful cut through if heading into town on foot.
