Novar
(Sleeps 4) This property is the upper part of a 120 year old stone house close
to the centre of Aberfeldy in Home Street. In 1861 a few philanthropic Aberfeldy
ladies formed themselves into a society for visiting the sick and poor, providing
a soup kitchen and a "Home for the Sick". The then affluent owner of nearby
Killiechassie House, now JK Rowling's residence, offered the ladies Novar
to provide medical treatment to their patients. This original use of the
building as a local hospital or "Home" gave the street its name.
Novar is a traditional Victorian stone built Scottish villa, the upper floor
of which has been sensitively and comprehensively renovated to create a warm
and welcoming apartment. The property is entered via is own front door to
first floor level where you are immediately struck by its light and spacious
interior where a creative touch has ensured that the house has been thoroughly
modernised yet has retained its former charm and original features. The apartment
has its own drive and a sunny, landscaped, rear garden and patio area with
garden furniture by a lovely silver birch tree. There is secure on-site parking
for up to three cars.
The apartment has a spacious lounge which has been tastefully furnished with
contemporary curtains and fabrics with pine furniture and a cottage suite.
There is a colour TV, radio/CD player and the original pine mantle fireplace
with flame effect gas fire providing a warm welcome. The new lemon coloured
kitchen with its integral dining area has been well designed with matching
wall units and marble floor tiles. This bright modern fully fitted kitchen
has a gas hob, twin ovens, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine and fridge.
Novar offers
two large double bedrooms. The main bedroom has a king-size bed and the other
has two single beds. The bedrooms both have cottage pine wardrobes and dressing
tables. There is one bathroom, in white, with a whirlpool bath and over-bath
shower. The cottage has double-glazing throughout and central heating in
every room. Payment for fuel is by meter reading at standard rates.
Home Street is
a quiet street leading from the main street running through Aberfeldy. Novar
is some 100 yards from the main street and the shops, pubs and restaurants
in the town. The golf course, parks, putting green, riverside and woodland
walks are all within easy walking distance.
