4 Bed Detached Villa - Offers Over £475,000
This listed detached lodge house in desirable Crieff promises a beautifully presented period home with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, convivial living space, and enclosed wraparound gardens. There is also a driveway and a detached single garage for private parking.
This four-bedroom detached lodge house is desirably located in the historic market town of Crieff; conveniently within walking distance of central amenities. The charming C-listed property sits within attractive gardens, providing privacy with hedgerows along the borders. The grounds also include a private driveway and a detached garage. Inside, the home features minimalist décor, large sash windows, and high ceilings, that create a wonderfully bright and airy atmosphere. Its traditional character has been preserved and complemented by sympathetic modern fixtures.
Once inside, an entrance hall (and its durable tile flooring) flows through to the social heart of the home – a generous kitchen with a formal dining area that leads outside via a bright rear porch with space for seating or storage. The kitchen faces south and is perfectly designed for relaxed socialising with a central breakfast island and a garden-facing window seat. It is fitted to a high standard with quality worktops and timeless Shaker-inspired cabinetry, integrated with a double oven, an electric hob with a statement hood, a dishwasher, and an under-counter fridge. Additionally, there is a pantry cupboard and an adjoining utility room with ample room for freestanding goods.
Also accessed from the entrance hall is a living room bathed in sunny natural light from double windows. Painted wood flooring and a focal log burner with a timber mantle add homely rustic warmth to this bright and spacious sitting area.
Completing the downstairs is one of the four bedrooms on offer. This good-sized double is wood-floored and benefits from windows to two sides (one with a fitted seat) and a period fireplace housing a log-burning stove. The remaining two doubles are located upstairs, nestled beneath the eaves but also of a good size, plus equipped with fitted storage. There is also a sky-lit single bedroom, currently set up as a cosy snug. All bedrooms on this level are comfortably carpeted and reached via a landing with built-in storage.
In addition to fitted wardrobes, the principal suite includes a sky-lit bathroom featuring a luxurious slipper bath. Also upstairs is a light and airy contemporary shower room. Both washrooms are laid with chic oak-style flooring.
The home is kept warm and efficient by gas central heating and full double-glazing, recently installed to the downstairs.
Outside, the handsome stone-built property is hugged by fully enclosed gardens that are neatly lawned with attractive plant borders. An off-road driveway and a detached single garage provide convenient private parking.
Extras: Included in the sale are all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, and integrated kitchen appliances. Freestanding goods in the utility room are available by separate negotiation.
Nestled within beautiful scenery, just 30 minutes’ drive from Perth, is the traditional market town of Crieff. The town has historic royal connections, was once known for cattle droving, and nearby is Scotland’s oldest lending library, the 17th-century Innerpeffray Library.

Food lovers are drawn to its fantastic array of restaurants, cafés, and pubs, and the picturesque surroundings are a perfect backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts to partake in activities such as hiking, mountain biking, and fishing. For those seeking indoor leisure activities, the public Strathearn Community Campus includes a swimming pool, gym, and fitness classes, whilst the Victorian resort of Crieff Hydro boasts exclusive facilities, plus a golf course.

Crieff, Comrie, Lochearnhead and Muthill
THE attractive hillside town of Crieff, which can trace its roots back to medieval times, has expanded down the years, rising from the Earn valley floor to the promontory of The Knock at 900 feet.
Many of the imposing sandstone family homes on the upper reaches of the town date back to an era when it was a popular Victorian holiday town, with 21st Century holidaymakers still lured by the attractions of The Hydro which overlooks the town.
En route to Comrie seven miles away, and beyond it St Fillans, Lochearnhead and Killin, The Glenturret Distillery can lay claim to being among the oldest distilleries in Scotland. The presence of a listed Earthquake House, monitoring seismic activity since 1869, has never put off homebuyers being lured to Comrie, with the scenic surroundings and pace of life appealing to the retirement market, in particular.
Before reaching Killin and its famous Falls of Dochart, the waterside communities of St Fillans and Lochearnhead, the latter now under the authority of the council in Stirling, are popular with watersports enthusiasts, while property buyers are also lured by the unspoiled countryside. Strathearn is blessed with a number of welcoming towns and villages, and a rural lifestyle which appeals to homebuyers.
Almondbank, on the periphery of Perth, has expanded on both sides of the River Almond. The pretty village of Pitcairngreen is built around a tree-lined grassy area influenced by design features popular in the Oxford area in the 18th Century.
Like many Perthshire villages, the population of Methven, on the road between Perth and Crieff, has welcomed new housing in recent years, helping support local services. The long-established independent school Glenalmond College is nearby.
Picturesque Muthill, near Drummond Castle and its renowned Italian Garden, is reminiscent of Comrie and Highlandmans Green recalls its role as a stopping-off point for cattle drovers heading for market with their beasts.
