For sale: Outstanding historic house in a beautiful countryside setting where Bonnie Prince Charlie was a regular visitor

Garvock House is a stunning B Listed period country house set in about nine acres of spectacular gardens and woodland near the historic village of Dunning in the southern Perthshire countryside.

Original parts of the house are thought to date back to the 17th century, and even earlier, and it is believed that Bonnie Prince Charlie was a frequent visitor and to have slept under the roof of Old Garvock House, though the principal wings of the mansion were built in the early 1800s.

Approached from a sweeping drive with a large parking area in front, the house features a beautiful late Georgian front façade with a column porch entrance and tower to the north end, and on the ground floor comprises characterful entrance hall, drawing room, study, drinks room with wine cellar, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, sitting room, dining room, play room, WC, and walk-in larder.

The first floor is approached by two separate staircases and features a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom and adjacent dressing room, four double bedrooms, one with en-suite, and a family bathroom, while a staircase in the tower curves up to a lovely sixth bedroom with spectacular views.

Externally, to the rear a courtyard incorporates a traditional range of stone-built outhouses, including two stables, boiler house/workshop with storage/play room above, and two garages, while the spectacular gardens offer beautiful outlooks over the surrounding farmland and the backdrop of the Ochil Hills, and feature a paved terrace, extensive range of stocked flower beds and shrubs, variety of trees, croquet lawn, the Garvock Burn, and a wonderful area of mature woodland.
