DIRECTIONS

From Perth travel north on the A9 and take

the exit for Bankfoot onto the B867.

Continue through Bankfoot to the hamlet of

Waterloo before turning left signposted to

Meikle Obney. Follow the road for a little

over a mile and Meikle Obney Farmhouse is

the last house. Its private drive is after the

bend to the left.

SITUATION

Meikle Obney Farmhouse is set in beautiful

south east facing gardens and grounds in a

rural setting close to the village of Bankfoot

and the hamlet of Waterloo. The origin of

the name Waterloo is thought to be from the

settling of soldiers returning from the Battle

of Waterloo, however others believe it was

built for the widows of the soldiers who did

not return from the front. Bankfoot provides

day to day requirements including a primary

school, with a wider range of facilities

available in Perth, 11 miles away. Perth also

has an excellent range of shops, professional

services and leisure facilities.

There is a good selection of private schools

in the area including Strathallan,

Craigclowan, Kilgraston and Glenalmond.

Perthshire is well known for its field sports

and golf, with nearby courses at Murrayshall,

Perth and Dunkeld. Also within easy reach

are Gleneagles, which was home to the 2014

Ryder Cup, Rosemount and St Andrews.

Perth is centrally located with easy access to

the motorway network. Mainline train

services are available at Dunkeld and Perth.

DESCRIPTION

Meikle Obney House is a superb Victorian

farmhouse which has been fully upgraded

and renovated by the current owners to

provide exceptional accommodation

throughout. It now offers an appealing

combination of contemporary yet country

living space. The house has been finished to

an exacting standard and retains an

abundance of traditional features throughout.

Situated off the entrance hall are the

principal reception rooms. The drawing

room has large windows overlooking the

front and north gardens and features an

open fireplace with surround and

mantelpiece, a traditional style press and

solid wood flooring which is common

throughout the ground floor. The dining

room has a traditional press in the corner

and a door leading through to the kitchen /

breakfast room. This is a superb room with

high quality appliances including two Fisher

& Paykel drawer dishwashers, fridge freezer,

electric Rangemaster with gas hobs over

(fuelled by LPG tank) and an integrated

Belfast sink with waste disposal unit. There

is a range of base and wall units with granite

work surfaces, and, despite the sleek fitted

finish, the kitchen still displays plenty of

traditional character in keeping with the

period of the house. There are windows

overlooking the hills to the rear of the house

and double doors leading out onto the south

and west facing patio.

Situated off the entrance hall there is also a

family room. This has an open fireplace

with white painted surround and

mantelpiece and a traditional press.

A corridor at the rear leads to a door out to

the back of the house and the utility room

with fitted units with solid wooden work

surfaces and an integrated stainless steel sink.

Beyond this there is a study as well as a

separate cloakroom with WC, wash hand

basin and hot water tank cupboard.

The staircase leads up from the main

entrance hall and is overlooked by a large

window which floods the space with natural

light. All the bedrooms and the bathroom

are set off a landing at the top. The master

bedroom suite has a fantastic outlook to the

south east over the neighbouring countryside

and towards the hills beyond. It has an en

suite shower room with WC, twin wash hand

basins and shower cubicle. There is a further

en suite bedroom again with stunning views

to the south east as well as a dressing room

and en suite shower room with WC, wash

hand basin and shower cubicle which were

installed in 2015. There are two further

double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

OUTSIDE

The driveway to Meikle Obney House passes

through wrought iron gates before sweeping

through the north gardens between a range

of mature trees and rhododendrons up to the

rear of the house where there is a brick built

garage and carport with coal store to the side.

The drive continues around to the front

where there is ample space for parking.

The principal gardens are situated to both the

front and rear of the house. They are fully

surrounded by established shrubs and hedges

with a variety of mature coniferous and

broadleaf trees giving it a lovely rural setting.

Both gardens are largely laid to lawn. To the

side of the house there is a paved terrace

which is accessed from the double doors to

the kitchen and which is the perfect place for

alfresco entertaining in the warmer months.

Surrounding this area is a beautiful collection

of miniature hedges. Archways in the large

hedges provide spectacular south and east

facing views over the rolling fields towards

the hills beyond.

To the north of Meikle Obney House there is

a paddock which extends to about 4 acres in

size.
