Description

This architecturally significant semi-detached house, known as Craigievar, is a prime example of Victorian French Gothic Revival architecture, completed circa 1870 by the renowned Perth architect Andrew Heiton. The property, which is Category B Listed by Historic Environment Scotland, showcases intricate design elements such as curved bow elevations, a conical roof, patterned slate roofing, and ornamental ironwork. Internally, the home boasts high ceilings, large sash and case windows, and original woodwork that contribute to its warm and grand atmosphere. Having been in the same ownership for 63 years, Craigievar offers a rare opportunity for a buyer to rejuvenate this historic residence. Although meticulously cared for over the years, the property presents potential for further enhancement, with the possibility of reconfiguring room arrangements subject to obtaining the necessary permissions. The entrance features a heavy timber front door leading into a vestibule adorned with original Victorian tiles, which opens to a reception hall providing access to the main ground floor rooms. The dining room features three tall windows and an open fireplace with a carved surround, while the adjacent sitting room enjoys ample natural light and includes a marble mantelpiece. The kitchen/breakfast room at the rear of the house provides space for a family dining table and access to a larder. A versatile room on the ground floor can serve as either a bedroom or office, complemented by a cloakroom and wet room. On the first floor, a decorative glass cupola illuminates the landing, leading to a drawing room with breathtaking views over the city and hills. The main bedroom connects to a dressing room, accompanied by three additional well-proportioned double bedrooms sharing a bathroom. A large room at the back of the house has recently functioned as an office but could easily be transformed into another bedroom. The top floor features two attic rooms, while a dry basement serves as an ideal wine cellar and storage space. The beautifully maintained garden surrounds Craigievar, approached through carved stone gate piers and wrought iron gates. The garden includes neatly clipped hedges, expansive lawns, mature trees, and a decked area beside the summer house. Located in the desirable area of Kinnoull, the property is less than a mile from the town centre and offers easy access to scenic walks along the River Tay and Kinnoull Woodland Park.

Craigievar is a remarkable opportunity to acquire a piece of history in one of Perth's most desirable locations.
