Panmure
House
Panmure House (Sleeps 7) is situated on Taybridge Road in Aberfeldy, a street of
large stone-built Victorian houses, which leads to one of the most romantic
bridges in Scotland which Marshall Wade built over the Tay in 1733. It consists
of five graceful arches and was reckoned as the greatest architectural wonder
of the North in its day, being the climax of Wades' ten year in the construction
of roads and bridges in the highlands from Perth and Crieff to Inverness
which opened up previously inaccessible country.
Panmure House
sits only 200 yards from this amazing structure which spans the Tay and alongside
the bridge can be found the lofty cairn of the Black Watch monument. This
unique historic edifice has a backdrop of the magnificent scenery of Weem
Rock rising steeply above the valley floor. This is the setting and vista
experienced from Panmure, a charming and recently refurbished semi-detached
period villa of distinctive Art Nouveau design in a desirable location within
walking distance of the golf course and other local services. The property
retains many of its original features such as the period fireplaces throughout
and the attractive natural wood finishes and has undergone a programme of
extensive refurbishment. This includes the fitting of a new kitchen and an
en-suite shower room to the master bedroom. The house also has recently been
tastefully redecorated throughout with new coordinating furniture, curtains
and carpets provided in every room.
As you enter
the front door of Panmure there is a bright, spacious sitting room with a
bay window and TV, an ornate fireplace and timber hard wood floor with rug.
This room has a pleasant view out to Taybridge Road and the hills beyond.
Adjacent is the light and airy family room looking out towards the garden
and drive again with an attractive fireplace as a focal point and has a hard
wood floor with rug, TV and DVD player. This room in turn links via a central
corridor through to the dining room which can seat seven comfortably. The
dining room then leads to the fitted kitchen area which contains a fridge,
microwave, washing machine and dish washer with a freezer and tumble drier
in the utility room beyond.
There is a cloakroom
and toilet in this rear area which leads out to the fully enclosed garden.
The mature garden has an extensive grass lawn enclosed by a stone wall and
a hedge and peripheral tree planting. There is a patio area with garden furniture
and a secure shed in which bicycles, etc. can be stored.
On the first
floor there are four bedrooms, two containing queen sized beds and a further
twin room and one single. The main bedroom lies to the front of the house
and has a Victorian style ornate metal bed on a pine floor with rugs and
boasts splendid views out the large bay windows to the majestic hills of
Highland Perthshire. This bedroom has an en-suite toilet and shower room.
Also to the front of the house there is a single sunny bedroom with pine
bed and floor.
Moving towards
the rear of the house there is another queen sized bedroom again with a Victorian
style bed and a handsome pine dresser with views to the rear garden and the
hills beyond. The final bedroom contains two pine beds and a wash-hand basin
and ornate fire surround. This room lies to the rear of the house overlooking
the garden and hills to the south of Aberfeldy. On the first floor there
is also bathroom with wash hand basin which lies adjacent to a separate room
with a toilet. In addition the house contains a radio/cassette/CD player,
a book library, iron and board. Duvets with linen are provided and ample
