Arthurstone House is a  B-listed mansion house dating back to the late 1700s. Originally built as a private home, it also served as a preparatory school over the years and is thought to have been owned by the second Earl of Argyll and also by the nearby Cistercian Abbey, before being converted into fifteen bespoke houses and apartments in 2005.

Redmyre is a charming second floor apartment, in the heart of the original house, with lovely views over the gardens.

Madeleine Lillie of Galbraith, who is handling the sale, said: “This is a charming apartment in a wonderful mansion house, rich in history. The landscaped grounds are a huge benefit to residents and provide beautiful walks and spaces to relax in the summer, while there are also tennis courts, a stream and a pond. Despite the idyllic rural setting, Redmyre is very accessible and within commuting distance of Perth and Dundee. The property offers a superb rural lifestyle within easy reach of major towns and cities.”

Upon entering Redmyre the entrance vestibule leads to a light and bright dining kitchen with integrated appliances, original fireplace and plenty of space for a dining table. Of particular note, the circular sitting has lovely views over the grounds and provides a delightful space for entertaining guests. The generous double bedroom has dual aspect views. The bathroom is well presented, with WC, sink and bath with wall-mounted shower.

Arthurstone House has thirty-five acres of beautifully maintained communal gardens and grounds, with lawns and topiary, tennis courts, woodland and fields. There is a pretty pond, historically used as a curling rink in the winter, with a ‘C’ Listed outhouse, while a stream runs through the edge of the grounds, providing a home for wildlife. Walking paths are laid throughout the woodlands for residents’ use. Ornamental lawns with rhododendrons and other shrubs and mature trees surround the house and offer residents several private areas to enjoy, especially during the summer months. An ornamental pond and water fountain provide a formal feature in front of the main entrance.

Redmyre has a parking space, as well as a generous garage with electricity supply.

Arthurstone House is situated in the picturesque Vale of Strathmore, between the Sidlaw Hills to the south and the Angus Glens to the north.

The village of Meigle (about two miles) has excellent village facilities, while the cities of Perth and Dundee are both within commuting distance, at 17 miles and 15 miles respectively. Edinburgh city centre can be reached in about 90 minutes by car.

The surrounding area of Perthshire offers a wealth of superb scenery and recreational opportunities including routes for walking, cycling and horse riding.
