DESCRIPTION
Powderwells Farmhouse is a substantial traditionally constructed stone and lime property under a pitched timber framed slate covered roof, with painted render to the exterior, oil-fired central heating and partial double glazing. Access is taken from the public road to the east via the existing private farm track.

This popular style of farmhouse is spread over two floors and currently subdivided into two flats. The "front flat" and the "rear flat".

In its current configuration the front flat provides two double bedrooms with a large living/dining room, small kitchen and family bathroom all on one level. While the rear flat extends over two levels, providing three double bedrooms and family bathroom on the first floor and a kitchen, living room, boiler room/utility, porch and further bathroom on the ground floor.

While the property would benefit from a degree of internal refurbishment to bring it up to modern standards, it provides potential purchasers with the opportunity to put their own stamp on what is sure to become a comfortable and generously proportioned family home once reconfigured.

Outside the south facing enclosed garden, which extends to approximately 545m2 (0.13 acres), is predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed with a stone dyke. The available space provides potential to create a large south facing conservatory and patio area allowing one to make the most of the fine views across the surrounding countryside and Strathmore Valley throughout the year, subject to the necessary consents.

There are also a range of outbuildings/stores to the east which might lend themselves to a variety of uses such as garaging, a workshop or an artist’s studio.

Immediately adjacent to the north is a redundant and now largely derelict steading and former cattle court which benefits from planning permission to form two further sizeable dwelling houses. Full details can be found on Perth & Kinross Council’s Planning Portal under reference: 21/02291/FLL.

Equally, one might dispense with the planning permission altogether and utilise the exterior sandstone walls from the former cattle court to form a new walled garden, removing the internal walls and concrete feed pass to be replaced with new topsoil, thus greatly increasing the available outside space and creating a versatile and private enclosed area.

Partial demolition of the steading as it runs immediately north from the farmhouse might also pave the way for renovation of the “top section” and Roundel to provide a versatile entertaining space, home office gym or simply additional storage.

Overall, Powderwells has considerable potential to provide spacious and flexible accommodation together with significant outdoor space, all in a delightful-secluded setting within easy reach.
