Description
The house has been built and finished to a very high standard and has a wonderfully bright and airy feel with Pitch Pine doors, skirtings and timber facings; high quality timber double glazed windows and several French doors that flood the interior with natural light and access the garden grounds.
The open plan kitchen / family room and the drawing room which share a two way wood burning stove; a wonderful covered veranda and the master bedroom are particularly appealing. The house is connected to mains electricity whilst water and foul drainage are from private facilities. It is heated using oil central heating (under floor on the ground floor) with the houses split into three separate heating zones.
In general, Backharn provides the space, facilities and amenity of a large traditional country house but without the associated running costs.
POLICY GROUNDS
In total, the grounds at Backharn extend to about 87.1 acres and are divided between two separate parcels. The largest of these parcels is about 65.1 acres (26.38 ha) and sitting within this is the house and garden ground. The garden, which is essentially laid to lawn along with a superb sheltered stone slabbed seating area is laid out for ease of maintenance. Sitting adjacent to the house is the original mill built from stone under a tin roof. The mill has a power supply and offers great scope for development into an annexe or additional accommodation (subject to planning). In addition, there is a very useful timber built store / workshop (about 11m x 6m). Surrounding the house is an area of delightful heathland interspersed with naturally generating Scots Pine and other native tree species with a productive duck flighting pond whilst this larger parcel of ground also includes grazing land extending to about 23.1 acres (9.35 ha) which is suitable for horses or other livestock and parcels of mature coniferous woodland extending to some 31.7 acres (12.83 ha). Backharn is surrounded by mature woodland, much of which is managed by the RSPB and is home to a high population of red and roe deer (which have been fed at Backharn throughout the winter), pine marten as well a great variety of native flora and fauna.
The second parcel at the entrance to the public road (B970) is the Blairdow Woodland of about 21.9 acres (8.87 ha) comprising mature Scots Pine woodland and a further delightful lochan.
