For Sale5 Bedroom House in Earnoch, Main Street, Perth, PH2 7HB£975,000

One of Perth's finest riverside homes Earnoch is believed to date from the first half of the 19th century and is one of four similarly handsome Georgian homes built on the east bank of the River Tay overlooking the North Inch Park. The property is B Listed and is one of Perth's finest Georgian homes both in terms of style and setting. The pedimented façade frames a smaller pediment over the front porch which is spacious and welcoming. The reception hall connects the formal reception rooms and a fine original staircase. The drawing room and the dining room are beautifully proportioned, both with carved stone fireplaces, intricate cornicework and large tripartite windows framing mesmerising views over the river. On this floor there is also a cloakroom and WC as well as a recently refurbished home office complete with fitted storage and a view to the front of the house. The arched window panes of the office door are repeated in the door that opens to the staircase to the lower ground floor. A fabulous open plan kitchen/dining area forms the heart of the lower ground floor. A cream AGA, painted timber cabinets and a terracotta tiled floor gives it a relaxed farmhouse feel and doors from the dining area open to one of the best spaces in the house which is the conservatory. It has lots of space for comfortable seating and opens to the garden and the riverside. There are a number of other useful rooms on the lower ground floor including a cosy sitting room, a study, WC, utility room and two large walk in stores (pantry and larder) as well as a back door to the garden. On the first floor of Earnoch is a broad, bright landing which gives access to four double bedrooms all with lovely proportions and three with river views. There is one en suite bedroom on this floor and the other rooms share a bathroom. Finally on the second floor the attic has been beautifully converted into a principal suite complete with characterful exposed beams and a superb view over the river and the city to the hills beyond. Outside Earnoch sits centrally in 0.5 acres of mature garden. A 30 metre long private driveway is lined with rhododendrons, azaleas and bluebells and leads to a turning and parking area at the front of the house. To the left of the drive as you arrive at the house is an area of flat lawn. An old stone wall marks the boundary of the garden on its northern and southern boundaries. Wrought iron railings enable the front garden to be completely separated from the back garden. At the rear of the house there are two terraces ideal for sitting out in the summer and mature beech and chestnut trees provide almost complete privacy from the neighbouring properties. The lawn is edged with herbaceous borders which start with spring bulbs and then continue with a programme of colour all summer. At the foot of the garden, old stone steps lead down to a narrow vennel providing Earnoch with its own access to the water.
