A secluded rural home close to Perth
Originally a range of traditional stone estate worker's cottages, Gellywood was converted into a home in the 1980s. Formed around an attractive courtyard, the accommodation is spacious and versatile with a dining kitchen at its heart. Whilst the property is enormously comfortable in its current form, it has potential to be modernised and reconfigured to suit a range of requirements. A double glazed porch is entered from the courtyard and opens to a homely dining kitchen. With its painted timber cabinets, cream four oven AGA, Belfast sinks, and flagstone floor it has a lovely farmhouse feel as well as underfloor heating. A door from the kitchen opens to the garden. The sitting room is another large and comfortable space with a wood burning stove set into an exposed stone wall, decorative ceiling beams and sliding double glazed doors opening to the south facing terrace. Between the kitchen and the sitting room is a dining room (currently used as an office) and beyond the sitting room is a study which links to the conservatory. The conservatory overlooks the garden and the terrace. The principal bedroom is linked by sliding doors to an impressive en suite bathroom with sunken jacuzzi style bath, walk in shower, double washbasins, underfloor heating and lit recessed shelving. On the far side of the property there are three further bedrooms and another modern bathroom with a freestanding bath and a shower.
Outbuildings
A double garage is incorporated into the stone built property with concrete flooring and electrics. There is an additional timber double garage opposite with concrete flooring.
Garden and grounds
Gellywood is set in about 4.1 acres, of which about 0.45 acres is garden, 0.2 acres is a fenced rear lawn/paddock and 3.2 acres is fenced paddock/rough grazing. The house is approached by a long tarmac driveway which, as it nears the house is lined with masses of daffodils in the spring. The garden is mainly laid out to the south of the house where an expanse of neat mown lawn is edged by hedging, fruit trees and a fence. A raised terrace is a lovely place to sit out in good weather with a large electrically operated awning. Mature herbaceous borders have been carefully planted to provide colour throughout spring and summer. To the rear of the house a gravel courtyard provides lots of parking.
