Horsemill House, Dalqueich, Kinross, KY13

A beautifully converted, detached country steading with feature roundel room. Set in mature grounds of about 0.67 acres in an idyllic location in rural Kinross-shire, yet with easy access to the amenities in Kinross.




Horsemill House dates from the mid-1700s. It is in a small cluster of three homes which were all beautifully converted in 1991.

Of stone construction with slates on the main part of the house and tiles on the roundel, there are a number of typical retained features including a number of original window openings. The internal floor area extends to 286m2 and there are high quality fixtures and fittings including oak flooring in most of the ground floor rooms. The mature and private gardens extend to about 0.67 acres.
