Broomhill, Abernethy, Perth, PH2

A well located home with a beautiful garden and far reaching views

Description

Broomhill was built in the 1970s and has a private and elevated position with glorious views. A wide entrance vestibule welcomes visitors into a reception hall which together with an impressive drawing room and large dining room form wonderful entertaining spaces. The drawing room has built in book shelves, an open fire and full height sliding glass doors onto a paved terrace (as does the reception hall). The dining room has space for a large dining table. It has a fireplace and arched display units. Like the drawing room, it has the atmosphere of a traditional country house. Glazed doors from the dining room open up to the conservatory which is a wonderfully bright and informal space to sit and enjoy the garden and the views. The conservatory links to the kitchen which has two large picture windows, a breakfast bar and space for a dining table. With its green AGA, solid timber cabinets and terracotta floor tiles the kitchen fittings are of a very high quality, however there is lots of scope to modernise if required. Practical rooms on the ground floor include two cloakroom/WCs and a utility room. On the first floor the main bedroom has an en suite bathroom, built in cupboards, a balcony and an interconnecting dressing room. Two further double bedrooms share a bathroom. On the ground floor a charming two bedroom annexe has its own sitting room with woodburning stove, small kitchen and shower room. Finally, as the house is constructed on a hillside, there is a large and useful basement with windows, which is currently used for storage and as a workshop. It adjoins an integral double garage. Internally, Broomhill has all the character of a traditional country home but with the benefit of huge picture windows that fill the house with light and capture the breathtaking views.

Outside
Broomhill sits in just under 6 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. The house is approached by a private tree-lined driveway which leads to garaging at the lower level of the house and then to parking at the front of the house. Colourful herbaceous borders have been planted strategically into the slope of the garden and provide a rolling sequence of colour all year. Grass paths are mown through light woodland and a meadow is interspersed with specimen trees. At the south side of the house is a sheltered kitchen garden and there are lots of spots to sit and enjoy the view.

Outbuildings
In addition to an integral double garage, there is a freestanding single garage, a potting shed, a greenhouse and two summer houses.
