For full details please request a copy of the brochure Introduction to Craigeuan Craigeuan Coach House and Steading provides a rare opportunity to create a superior family home with stabling, workshops and storage, which could be converted to a range of uses or to form additional residential units, all conveniently located in a magnificent setting boasting panoramic views over Strathearn and surrounding countryside, all within easy commuting distance of Perth. Extending to approximately 16.73 Ha (41.33 Ac) in total, Craigeuan Coach House and Steading currently comprises a 1.5 storey partially redundant steading building of traditional stone and lime construction under a pitched timber framed slate roof and an existing 4-bedroom house benefiting from double glazing throughout, mains water supply and private drainage. The property would benefit from internal refurbishment and possibly a degree of reconfiguration or extension, subject to securing the requisite planning permission. The gardens and associated outside space immediately surrounding the Coach House and Steading complex (shown as lot 1 on the sale plan) extends to approximately 0.82 Ha (2.02 Ac) and are laid mainly to lawn with a variety of shrubs, herbaceous borders and mature trees. There is also a central courtyard which could provide ample private parking. Historical Note Craigeuan Coach House and Stables were originally built to provide ancillary accommodation to the main estate house of Cultoquhey (pronounced Cul - to - whey) between 1818 and 1822 for Anthony Maxtone, the 12th Laird of Cultoquhey. The family moved into the new principal estate house in 1833 which lies immediately to the west, has now been converted into the Cultoquhey House Hotel. The woods famed as the location for the death of Kate McNiven, the witch of Monzie, reputedly the last witch to be burned in Scotland lie to the west. McNiven lived in the village of Monzie and was well known as a healer and prophetess. Her family came from elsewhere in Strathearn which may have contributed to local ill feeling towards her. In 1715, during the witch hunts, she was forced into hiding in a cave beside the Shaggy Burn, near the village of Monzie (north of Gilmerton) but was discovered and sentenced to death by fire just 20 years before the passing of the Witchcraft Act of 1735, which reduced the penalty for practicing witchcraft from death to imprisonment. Before the sentence was carried out, McNiven is reported to have cursed the village of Monzie and the local landowner amongst others. After her death, all her curses and predictions apparently came true, except for the one prophecy she left about the Maxtone family who may have tried to intervene thereby, receiving a prophecy of good fortune: "The day a Lord will be born with bright, lively eyes, a treasure will be found in Cultoquhey”. The Maxtone family’s original charter for the lands at Cultoquhey is believed to have been granted around 1410, and it is thought that since that time, right up until the bulk of the estate and houses were sold in 1955, no land was either added nor removed from the estate. Like many of Scotland’s leading families, the time did eventually come to sell the houses and land with the disposition for the sale of Craigeuan eventually being recorded in the General Register of Sasines on the 9th July 1956. Location Set amongst fertile Perthshire farmland, Craigeuan benefits from a south facing aspect exposing the buildings to plenty of sunlight and wide panoramic views across the gently undulating Strathearn countryside. Located approximately 15 miles west of Perth, which is the major urban hub in the region and provides the full range of commercial, professional and leisure services one might expect, Craigeuan also benefits from convenient road links via the A85 (the main road between Crieff and Perth), which also branches off to surrounding towns and villages. A bit closer to home are the villages of Gilmerton which is just 0.6 miles to the west or Crieff, approximately 3 miles to the south west, both of which are convenient alternatives for essentials and services. If venturing beyond Perthshire by road, Edinburgh is approximately 57 miles to the south east, Glasgow is approximately 50 miles to the south west, while Dundee is approximately 39 miles east and Inverness 119 miles north. There is also a main line railway station available in Perth, which provides regular services to Inverness, Edinburgh and Glasgow. The sleeper service to London is also accessible on this line. Surrounding Area Craigeuan Coach House and Steading enjoys a rural setting within the desirable county of Perthshire. The nearby town of Crieff provides a range of quality independent shops and numerous well-regarded restaurants, cafes and pubs as well as a medical centre, veterinary surgery and post office. Primary and secondary schooling is available at the Community Campus, while private schools such as Ardveck Preparatory School, Morrison’s Academy, Dollar Academy, Strathallan, Glenalmond and Kilgraston are all within a short driving distance. For the golfer, there are some fine courses available within relatively short distances including the world-famous Gleneagles Hotel and golf resort, with more golf clubs at Crieff, Comrie and Auchterarder. Crieff golf course has 18 and 9 hole courses, while Comrie is also popular for a quick 9 holes after work. The area is well regarded for its wide variety of outdoor pursuits. Crieff Hydro offers a variety of leisure facilities and outdoor activities. Additionally, for the country sports enthusiast, day tickets for salmon and sea trout fishing are available on the Rivers Tay, Almond and Earn, to name just a few, while field-sports might be available on the larger neighbouring estates. There are, of course, abundant opportunities to enjoy the renowned Highland Perthshire landscape, with easy access to the Cairngorms National Park, which is home to numerous Munros and abundant wildlife. In the winter, skiing can be enjoyed at Aviemore or Glenshee, both of which are approximately one hour’s drive away. Craiguean Coach House and Steading would be ideally suited to someone equine minded or perhaps interested in establishing a hobby farm in Perthshire. Lot 1 Craigeuan Coach House and Steading Approximately 0.82 Ha (2.02Ac) As the name would suggest, the “Coach House and Steadings” was traditionally used when Craigeuan formed part of the larger estate of Cultoquhey. While it is thought that the property was probably built around 1820, it is believed that the current proprietors are only the third occupiers in its approximate 200 year history. The Coach House and Steadings are of a sought-after traditional style and of stone and lime construction under a pitched timber-framed slate covered roof. In its current configuration, the Coach House comprises a small kitchen and shower room accessed directly from a rear door which leads to the other rooms; a cosy south facing sitting room with wood burning stove, a large reception area/hall with wood burning stove, a further south facing living room with bay style window which bathes the interior in natural light. Alternatively, the ground floor can be accessed by the front door which leads directly into the reception hall leading to the main staircase. The first floor comprises a south facing master bedroom, with a further three double bedrooms and a bathroom with threepiece suite and shower over the bath. The Coach House benefits from electric Dimplex central heating and is double-glazed throughout. Water is from the mains supply while drainage is by way of septic tank. The Coach House has a current EPC rating of F and is classed as council tax band F. Outside, the Coach House is surrounded by a large garden, mainly laid to lawn but with some mature trees and herbaceous borders, all of which are enclosed on three sides by a combination of stock-proof fencing and mature trees. The Coach House is accessed via a hardcore drive suitable for standard road vehicles which branches off onto a smaller gravel driveway leading to the courtyard.
