Superb B listed period property with tremendous internal space and good gardens

Situation

Ellaslea House is set in a private garden in the village of Yetts of Muckhart and is within easy commuting distance of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling and Perth.

The village lies just 4 miles from Dollar and has a local pub, tea room/newsagent, a well regarded primary school and a golf course.

Dollar has a good range of shops, including a supermarket, delicatessen, bank and post office, hotels, health centre, dentist, golf course, a primary school, tennis club and squash club. The town is well known for Dollar Academy, a private co-educational school that takes primary and secondary day pupils and boarders. The private schools of Perthshire - Glenalmond, Strathallan, Morrison's Academy, Ardvreck (prep), Craigclowan (prep), and Kilgraston (girls only) - are all within easy reach as is Beaconhurst at Bridge of Allan.

The historic town of Stirling is only 16 miles to the west and has an excellent range of shops, professional services and a commuter rail service to Edinburgh and Glasgow. It is also well known for its university.

A wide range of leisure activities is available in the area. Gleneagles Hotel (11 miles) has a leisure club with extensive sports facilities including a shooting school, an equestrian centre, the British School of Falconry and three famous golf courses, the King's, the Queen's and the PGA Centenary Course. There are numerous other courses within easy reach including the highly thought of Muckhart Golf Course, two courses at Kinross and the world famous courses of St. Andrews (36 miles). Gleneagles is also renowned for field sports with many guests staying at the hotel for grouse shooting, pheasant shooting and salmon fishing. There is National Hunt racing and polo at Scone, near Perth, and there is hill walking, climbing, skiing, water sports and stalking in the Highlands.

Description

Ellaslea House is a B Listed, traditional stone built property under a series of pitched slate roofs. The late 18th century property has a distinctive and attractive façade and the excellent first impressions are reinforced on entering the house. The hallway opens out to the two principal reception rooms, each with original features in the form of cornices and working window shutters. Perhaps the most notable room in the house, however, is the superb dining kitchen. A generous open plan area with a central island and still enough space for wall side units and a full-sized dining table, this room is very much the hub of the house and offers yet more room for entertaining. Spanning three floors, the accommodation is very flexible with the current owners opting for an additional study on the first floor as opposed to a sixth bedroom. Ellaslea House is a wonderful family home and offers tremendous space and accommodation within a functional layout.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS

To the front of the property is a large gravelled parking area enclosed by a stone wall on one side and a mature hedge along the southern boundary. The gardens are predominantly lawned, punctuated with a number of mature trees. To the rear of the property is a further area of lawn with a raised section and an old air raid shelter. The rear garden is entirely enclosed within a high stone wall. A small patio is accessed from the rear porch and there is a garden shed.
