Located in the residential area of Rosemont in Blairgowrie, Perthshire, Heathpark House is a Victorian villa built around 1837. The house itself has bay windows, an irregular roofline and a mix of window styles which all add charm, and the accommodation is spacious.
Upgraded to a high standard by the current owners, there are original working shutters, stained glass doors and windows, a large cupola, open fires and splendid high ceilings which all contribute to the period charm. The principal reception rooms are perfect for entertaining while the sitting room is a more family-oriented space; a self-contained one-bedroom flat has independent access.
Upstairs the first floor is reached by means of an impressive Colorado pine staircase which leads to a wonderful drawing room from the landing, and six bedrooms, three of which are en-suite.

Heathpark House lies in a quiet street in Rosemount on the outskirts of Blairgowrie in Perthshire which is a vibrant market town with a very good range of shops and services. Perth is 17 miles.
