About this property

  • East Pitcorthie House was built as a farmhouse in the late 1800s and has a traditional frontage with stone walls under a slate roof. The house has been in private ownership for the past 35 years and the former farm steading behind is currently being converted into a dwelling house.

    Internally, the house has been fully refurbished with new double glazed windows and Moduleo luxury vinyl flooring.

    The ground floor of the house has a traditional layout with three reception rooms off a central hallway. Two of these are used as sitting rooms and one as a home office. The dining room links to a superb new kitchen / living room on the east side of the house which has windows on three sides and two sets of French doors opening into the garden. The kitchen has an island unit and the appliances include a Rangemaster cooker, Montpellier dishwasher, under-counter fridge, two wine coolers and sink. There is a solid fuel stove in the corner. Off the back hall is a utility room with shower room off and a pantry with fitted shelves.

    There is a large landing on the first floor with four bedrooms off and a fully tiled family bathroom with a corner bath and separate shower. A staircase gives access to the attic where there is a large attic room / bedroom 5 with its own shower room. There is a store room off.

    Outbuildings

    To the side of the house there are two garages with roller doors. On the far side of this is an annexe with a living room / games room with kitchen units with a sink. Upstairs is a large loft bedroom and a shower room.

    Immediately to the rear of the house is a timber built golf studio. This has glazed double doors and could be repurposed as home gym, yoga studio or cinema if required. The specialist golf simulator equipment includes a golf base and surround, high definition screen, projector, gaming laptop and Foresight Sports GC Quad Software. This is available to be bought for an additional £20,000.

    Gardens

    East Pitcorthie House is set in a fully enclosed garden of 0.54 acres.

    There is a wall and high fir hedge around the west half of the garden with a wooden cover over the entrance which leads to a tree lined drive. There are gravel yards to the front and side of the house.

    Outside the back door are two fenced yards, the first one for dogs, the outer yard containing the golf studio and a small putting green.

    There are lawns to either side. The west lawn is within the fir hedges and has a summer house in the corner. The east lawn is open to the magnificent views.
