The Gregorton Coach House

The Gregorton Coach House sits on substantial grounds in Blairgowrie, a market town surrounded by the outdoor attractions of Perthshire. You get a detached property with two bedrooms sleeping four, one bathroom, and direct access to nearly an acre and a half of lawned gardens with patio seating. One dog can come at no extra cost. The owner lives next door but you have the whole place to yourself.

Downstairs holds a living room with an electric fire and smart TV, a dining room, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking—oven, hob, dishwasher and microwave all there. The utility room has washing and drying facilities. Upstairs, both bedrooms have zip-and-link beds that convert between double and twin configurations, each with a smart TV. The bathroom combines a bath and shower cubicle. Heating runs underfloor in the bathroom and through the rest of the house, and essentials like electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are covered.

Blairgowrie sits on the Cateran Trail, a 60-mile walking route, and is close enough to Glenshee for skiing, mountain biking and other year-round sports. Golf courses include a championship layout a mile away, and Gleneagles, St Andrews and Carnoustie are within an hour's drive. Glamis and Scone Palace are nearby for days out. A shop lies half a mile away; pubs and restaurants a mile. There is parking for two cars on site and a bike store.
