A Perthshire farmhouse and its derelict out buildings have been combined to glorious effect, resulting in a splendid family residence to deeply impress Sarah Devine.

This week’s Prestige Property is a magnificent Perthshire former farmhouse and steadings which have been lovingly renovated into a charming family home.

The house, along with its three large steadings, once belonged to the Scone Estate, and remained in use as a working farm until 2009, when Rosanna Forbes and her partner bought the site after being wowed by its pretty location.

Rosanna explains: “We decided we would join the beautiful old farmhouse to the steading, and use green oak timber framing and glass. “We joined the buildings with a glass corridor down the west side, and then did up the three steadings with a swimming pool in the middle one.” The couple came up with the design themselves and hired Nick Pye of Longniddry-based oak timber specialists Treewrights to create the charming wooden frames that fill the home with character.
