Beautifully presented traditional farmhouse only about 1.5 miles from Auchterarder's High Street.
Lochie Farmhouse is a charming family home situated with a beautiful south-facing aspect towards the Ochil Hills. The house is a traditional stone built farmhouse thought to date from around 1900. It sits in a highly accessible location only about 1.5 miles from Auchterarder's High Street, and with easy access to the A9 which provides commuting links to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth and Stirling. Offering generous living space, the house has a flexible configuration to suit modern family living.
The sitting room has a lovely south facing aspect over the front garden, and with the stunning backdrop of the Ochil Hills. It has a multi fuel stove set on a slate hearth, with an arched shelved alcove in the corner of the room. A door leads through to the family room which also has a log burner, and flows into the dining area and kitchen beyond. The dining area has a bespoke, full length fitted dresser comprising base units and glazed wall cabinets, and overlooks the kitchen. This has fitted units incorporating a Belfast sink, and there are windows overlooking the enclosed garden to the rear. A door opens into a rear vestibule leading out to the garden beyond. Integrated kitchen appliances include a two-oven AGA, an electric AEG oven, gas hob and an American style fridge freezer. A useful utility room sits to the side of the dining area and is plumbed for laundry appliances. A ground floor bedroom, with en suite shower room, sits south-facing with views towards the hills. A separate WC sits off the rear corridor which connects the entrance hall to the family room.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom has a stunning southerly view to the Ochil Hills through a window with working shutters. There is a further east-facing window and two fitted wardrobes. The other first floor bedroom also sits south-facing and has a fitted wardrobe. Between the two bedrooms is a home office, and the family bathroom also sits off the landing. Two further bedrooms are located on the second floor, both with Velux windows and fitted wardrobes.
A monobloc driveway with double wrought-iron gates leads up to the front of the house, where there is access into the garage. The parking area and front garden are fully enclosed by a stone wall and gates. A path leads through the centre of two lawned areas around which are well stocked borders and established kitchen garden beds. A path leads past the east side of the house, connecting the front garden to the rear garden. This has a spacious central lawn, surrounded by stocked borders and enclosed by a stone wall. There is a greenhouse and a garden shed.
A workshop building can be entered from the rear garden, and by an internal door within the garage. The ground floor has three south-facing windows, and an internal staircase leads up to the store room above. This is an extremely useful space, with the potential to convert into additional living space, subject to the required consents.
