Local amenities include a thriving primary school, health centre, shops and post office, whilst the surrounding countryside offers a wealth of leisure, sporting and touring facilities.

The property, designed and built in 1957 to high, exacting standards, has been carefully maintained, upgraded and refurbished over the years by the sole owners, and now offers a well-appointed, spacious family home, providing versatile living accommodation on two floors. The present layout comprises an impressive livingroom (with open access to the diningroom),large kitchen, utility, shower-room and two double bedrooms on the ground floor, complemented by two further double bedrooms(one of which could be an ideal familyroom), shower-room and modern, compact kitchen on the upper floor. A charming conservatory leads from the lounge, overlooking the landscaped, south-facing gardens, with high perimeter hedging providing seclusion and privacy. From many aspects, there are unrivalled, panoramic views across Perth towards the surrounding hills, adding to the peaceful ambience of both house and garden.
