Keillor House & CottageBy Kettins, Perthshire, PH13 9JT

Keillor House is a beautiful period country house of principally stone construction under a slated roof with sash and case windows and a pretty entrance porch. It enjoys a southerly aspect overlooking the attractive parkland field to the front flanked by mature deciduous trees and cascading ponds, providing a most scenic backdrop to the house. Following its purchase, the current owners undertook a programme of refurbishment resulting in a well presented and practical family house boasting a wealth of period features throughout.

On entering Keillor House the charm is immediately evident in the hall with a sweeping wooden staircase, part wood panelling and cornicing. Panelled doors lead to both the drawing room and dining room; these two principal reception rooms enjoy high ceilings, bay windows, wooden floors, ornate cornicing and period fireplaces. A door leads from the drawing room into the garden room, a delightful and quiet room with tall south facing windows from where to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

To the east side of the house is the library, a most cosy and intimate room with fitted bookcases, fireplace and south facing windows. The breakfasting kitchen is at the rear of the house and has an excellent range of fitted floor and wall cupboards with a walk in larder with the butler's pantry adjacent. To the west side of the house is a superb, good sized family room which offers multiple potential uses such as a studio, playroom or home office. Beyond is the generous and practical laundry room.

Unusually, Keillor House has an indoor swimming pool, forming the east wing with generous windows overlooking the grounds. There are two showers and a WC, together with a small kitchen area, resulting in a superb space for the whole family to enjoy.

The bedrooms lie on the first floor. The principal bedroom is generously proportioned with a double aspect and lies adjacent to a family bathroom. There are further three double bedrooms, one with a dressing room, serviced by two further bathrooms with a single bedroom completing the first floor accommodation

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Keillor House sits within delightful gardens and grounds extending to about 9.40 acres providing a mature setting for this charming country house. A pair of electric gates lead to a tree lined drive with rhododendrons giving wonderful colour in spring. The drive leads to a gravelled parking area to the front of the house, with further parking to the rear. Beyond the front garden and in front of the parkland field, are a series of cascading ponds with bridges giving access to the field.

To the rear of the house is a delightful walled garden which has been thoughtfully designed to create a secluded garden with well stocked borders, neat paths and a pond.

Keillor House benefits from a number of useful outbuildings providing garaging and storage and includes a traditional stone kennel with run.
