Equestrian property for sale in Ledcrieff Farmhouse, Hallyburton, By Coupar Angus, Perthshire PH13

Conveniently and attractively located farmhouse requiring renovation, with buildings and land.

Description
Ledcrieff Farmhouse enjoys a lovely rural setting with fine views. Originally the farmhouse for one of the farms on a local estate, it is now surplus to requirements but was in the process of being refurbished including partial rewiring and replumbing, and has been stripped back to the walls. Works were also done to the roof. The house was last occupied in 2022 and now offers a fine opportunity to complete the renovation. It is double glazed and harled with a slate roof, and faces south with views over agricultural land, together with fabulous views to the northwest over Strathmore to the Glens. Attached to the rear is a former cattle court, and there is a further agricultural building, so there is considerable scope for development, subject to any necessary planning consents.

The accommodation begins with a hallway, off which is a double aspect sitting room with a fireplace and lovely views. An inner hallway has stairs to the first floor and an understair cupboard, while a kitchen has fitted units with a Belling hob, oven and sink. Adjacent is a former bathroom. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a shelved cupboard.

In front of the house is garden ground, mainly in grass, together with a polytunnel and some former chicken runs. A wooden water tank shed houses a uv filter and water tank.

Attached to the back of the house is the cattle court building. Part of this includes a store and rear lobby linked to the house. The cattle court (18.4 m x 18.4 m approx.) is steel framed, with block walls and a corrugated roof. It might have potential as indoor stabling or a riding arena. Beyond is a corrugated steel framed shed (7.75m x 11.5m approx.) with a concrete floor and attached store (5.3m x 4.5M approx.).

The agricultural land lies to the west of the steading, and extends to some 4.1 acres. In all the property extends to some 5.5 acres.

Location
Ledcrieff Farmhouse enjoys an elevated position at the foot of the Sidlaws and has lovely open views across Strathmore to the hills. While offering a peaceful rural lifestyle, it is only about 2.5 miles from the village of Kettins and 3.5 miles from Coupar Angus, 11.5 miles from Dundee and 14.5 miles from Perth. Kettins has a well-regarded primary school and there is a further primary school and a post office/village store in Newtyle (5 miles). For a relatively small market town, Coupar Angus is surprisingly well serviced. It has a supermarket, post office, petrol station, primary school, play park and the Red House Hotel with its popular bar and restaurant. Blairgowrie, only 8 miles away, has a wider range of amenities including a medical centre, cottage hospital, two supermarkets, secondary schooling and a variety of independent shops and restaurants. Both Dundee and Perth are easily reached and provide all the services expected of major cities and have an impressive range of cultural opportunities, including the new V&A Museum in Dundee and the Concert Hall in Perth. Dundee High School (with a dedicated bus from Newtyle) is within easy reach, as are private schools in Perthshire.

As well as being most attractive, the area benefits from good travel connections to Perth, Dundee, Aberdeen and Edinburgh. The A94 connects Perth with Forfar via Coupar Angus and Meigle. The A923 leads directly from Coupar Angus to Dundee. From Perth, the M90 motorway links to Edinburgh, while the A9 and M90 give access to Stirling and Glasgow. Forfar is on the A90 dual carriageway to Aberdeen. Dundee and Perth have mainline railway stations with regular services to the south including a sleeper. Edinburgh Airport has an excellent range of flights and there are services from Dundee to London Heathrow.

While its postal address is Perthshire, Ledcrieff Farmhouse is situated just into Angus. Being so close to the boundary, the property benefits from all that both counties have to offer, and the recreational facilities in the area are superb. There are golf courses at Alyth, Piperdam Country Club and a championship course at Rosemount (Blairgowrie). Carnoustie and St Andrews are within easy driving distance. Fishing can be taken on the Tay and the River Ericht as well as on the River Isla close by. Ledcrieff Loch Fishery is just over the hill. There are lovely walks in the Sidlaw Hills.
