General Description
Nestled in breathtaking countryside minutes from Perth, this outstanding five-bedroom country home on the edge of the pretty village of Abernethy presents a rare and exceptional opportunity for luxurious family living. Lying in 2.3 acres of beautiful gardens with extensive outbuildings, and a paddock, it blends a generous layout extending to 4,837 sq ft with an elegant interior design and the highest quality finishes. Accessed via a private road, a sweeping gravel driveway leads to an expansive courtyard offering generous parking and a triple garage. From here, the front door opens into a welcoming entrance hallway, housing a stylish cloakroom and guest WC featuring a washbasin built into vanity. To the left, you enter a light and airy living room, decorated in soft muted tones with wooden flooring and a log-burning stove housed in a white mantle as its focal point. This leads directly into a south-facing sunroom and an elegant sitting room, where parquet flooring and a cast iron fireplace add timeless charm, creating a quiet and inviting retreat. Two sets of fully glazed double doors provide access to the garden and a spectacular south-west-facing orangery. Flooded with natural light and offering uninterrupted views over the gardens, the orangery is a stunning space for everyday living and special occasions. From here the exceptional layout continues with a showstopping open-plan dining kitchen. French doors draw the eye outward to breathtaking countryside views and open onto the patio and garden. Set beneath a striking double-height ceiling with exposed beams, the bespoke kitchen is thoughtfully designed with handcrafted cabinetry, black granite worktops, and a marble splashback. A full suite of high-spec integrated appliances includes a wine fridge, gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, grill, and oven. With a walk-in store and handleless cabinetry, a utility room offers excellent practical storage. The ground floor also includes two further reception rooms, one of which is a serene and comfortable home office, complete with plush carpeting, a calming palette, and a log-burning stove framed by a white marble fireplace, the other a sizeable dual-aspect games room. Upstairs, the principal double bedroom offers a tranquil retreat, complete with built-in wardrobes and a classic en-suite bathroom featuring a freestanding roll-top bath positioned to make the most of the countryside outlook. A second double bedroom benefits from a luxurious en-suite shower room and a walk-in wardrobe. Two additional double bedrooms share a contemporary family shower room. Occupying the second floor is an impressive guest suite featuring a double bedroom with an eye-catching wood-panelled ceiling, a walk-in wardrobe and a design-led shower room opening onto a private south-west-facing balcony

A smaller section of the garden currently serves as a practical drying green.
