Introduction to Drumcroy
Drumcroy provides purchasers with a rare opportunity to acquire individual holiday lodges from a successful business in a magnificent Highland Perthshire setting enjoying views across the Strathtay Valley, all within approximately 90 minutes’ drive of both Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Extending to approximately 1.12Ha (2.75 acres) in total, the existing Drumcroy development comprises five recently refurbished holiday lodges in an elevated location with magnificent views.
Drumcroy previously formed part of the neighbouring farm and was initially developed as a diversification to that business before coming under the current proprietor’s ownership in 2015.
During their period of tenure, the Drumcroy lodges have been renovated in a modern “Scandinavian” style to provide minimalist yet comfortable accommodation from which to explore and
enjoy the surrounding countryside and partake in the myriad of outdoor opportunities the local area provides.
Location
Nestled amongst the undulating foothills of the Highland fringe at approximately 135 metres above sea level, Drumcroy benefits from a primarily northerly outlook which provides the lodges with largely unobstructed views of the adjacent bank of the River Tay and into the Strathtay Valley beyond to the west and east.
Located approximately one mile east of the town of
Aberfeldy, which is a 20 minute walk or a short drive away, Drumcroy enjoys easy access to local services which include a supermarket, petrol station, health services, bank, post office, veterinary surgery and dental practices.
Further to the south east lies Perth, which is the major urban hub in the region and provides the full range of commercial, professional and leisure services one might expect from a city. Perth can be easily accessed by road via the A827 which links directly onto the A9 (the arterial road link between Inverness and the south) at the Logierait/Ballinluig junction, eight-and-a-half miles to the east.
There are also mainline railway stations available at
Pitlochry (14 miles to the north east) and Dunkeld
(17 miles to the south east), both of which provide
regular services to Inverness, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The sleeper service to London is also accessible on this line.
Lot 5
Cluny Lodge
Cluny comprises an open plan kitchen/diner and living room, two double bedrooms and well-appointed family bathroom with WC, sink and electric shower over the bath. The French doors in the living room open onto a small deck area providing fine views, predominantly to the north and north east across the surrounding countryside and the north bank of the River Tay.
Double glazed throughout Cluny benefits from mains water supply and private drainage by way of septic tank, while heating is provided by a combination of electric panel heating and a
wood burning stove. Cluny has a current EPC rating of G.
Cluny is neighboured by Tay Lodge (sold earlier this year) and Tummel Lodge to the north west. There is a grass embankment enclosing Cluny on three sides to the south, south east and south west and a small area of lawn to the north (front). The shared access terminates directly to the side of
Cluny and widens to provide an exclusive parking area.
