21 The Village is situated on the edge of the conservation village of Meikleour. The village is famous for being beside the tallest beech hedge in the world and has an active community centred on the village hall and the much loved Meikleour Arms Hotel.
Blairgowrie, which is only 6 miles away, has a good choice of shops, supermarkets, cafés and restaurants as well as health and professional services. Dunkeld is 9 miles to the west of Meikleour and with its historic cathedral and riverside position is very picturesque. It has an excellent selection of independent shops and cafés as well as beautiful walking and cycling trails.
Dunkeld railway station has regular services north and south and a sleeper service to London. Perth and Dundee are about 13 miles and 20 miles away respectively.
21 The Village is ideally positioned to take advantage of the many outdoor pursuits that Perthshire has to offer.
These include salmon fishing on the nearby rivers Isla and
Tay, pheasant and partridge shooting on local estates and stalking and grouse shooting on the higher ground a little further north. The house is well placed for the ski slopes of Glenshee, and for getting into the Perthshire hills as well as the Angus Glens. Riverside and woodland walks locally include the spectacular bluebell woods at Ballathie. Golfers will enjoy the proximity of some of Scotland’s finest championship golf courses including
Gleneagles, St Andrews, Carnoustie and The Rosemount Course at Blairgowrie Golf Club. There are also popular courses in Perth, Dunkeld and Alyth.
Description
21 The Village was originally owned by Meikleour Estate and was home to the estate kennels. The cottage is situated on the side of a country lane which leads out of Meikleour towards Lethendy. It is approached via a short driveway which leads to a gravel parking area beside the garage. French windows lead into a bright and welcoming kitchen which has been created within an extension at the rear of the property. The kitchen is fitted with two range cookers and lots of storage as well as a built in dresser. It also has space for a dining table.
