Parks Of AldieKinross, Perth and Kinross, KY13 0QH

Parks of Aldie is an attractive, traditional country house situated in a stunning elevated setting with panoramic views to the Cleish Hills to the north. The house is thought to date back to the early 19th century, and sits in around 3.5 acres of grounds.

The main house is entered through a light and well positioned porch at the front of the property, which leads to the dining hall. This room has an abundance of character and sits at the heart of the home. From the dining hall, a central hallway runs through the property, providing access to a downstairs WC/cloakroom located under the stairs, and adjacent to the sitting room. The sitting room is a well-positioned and cosy room, located opposite the kitchen with views to the northwest over the back garden. At the end of the hallway sits a porch/boot room with a back door out to the parking area and stabling. There is also a very useful and spacious store room, and a separate utility room.

The kitchen is full of character and practicality, featuring ample storage, an AGA and a separate gas hob and oven. Just off the kitchen is the dining room, a charming and welcoming space with a traditional press and a front-facing window that fills the room with light. Beyond the dining room sits the formal drawing room, which is an impressive, light-filled room with a large fireplace at the far end. This room boasts built-in shelving, two large windows, and a glass door opening to the outside. Adjacent to the drawing room is a bright and peaceful study, which is tucked away from the rest of the property.

Upstairs, the central landing provides access to five bedrooms and two family bathrooms. Bedroom 1, directly opposite the staircase, is a beautifully proportioned, bright and airy room with its own en suite bathroom, a generous dressing room with extensive storage, and balcony enjoying lovely views to the south. To the right of the staircase sits bedroom 2, a spacious room with two large windows and built-in wardrobes. Next door is a good-sized family bathroom equipped with bath, basin and WC.

To the left of the staircase sit bedrooms 3 and 4. Bedroom 3 is a large, light room with three windows and a built in wardrobe. Bedroom 4 has distinct features such as two very deep cupboards, and a fitted wash-basin. A staircase from the landing leads to bedroom 5. This is a charming and peaceful space with elevated views to the north.


Equestrian amenities and grounds

Parks of Aldie offers a wealth of outdoor space and excellent equestrian facilities, with six stables, a tack room, a feed room and a store conveniently positioned either side of a courtyard, which sits directly in front of the house.

The property also offers three grazing paddocks, two of which sit to the south of the main drive, and the other to the rear of the house adjacent to the riding arena. This is a 60 x 22 metre sand-based arena equipped with floodlights.

The house is approached by an attractive tree-lined driveway which leads up to the front of the house where the stabling is also situated. A separate back driveway departs from the front of the house and sweeps around the north of the paddock and riding arena, before connecting with the access track. The mature gardens of Parks of Aldie wrap around the side and rear of the house. In the southwest corner of the property is a hard-surface tennis court.
