If modern houses are not generally known for their character, then Briar Lodge is a notable exception. This excellent, three bedroom house stands in its own extensive garden (furniture) on the outskirts of Blairgowrie, with the illustrious golf course at Rosemount just along the road.
The owners are on hand to help with any queries and live in an annex, carefully screened from the main body of the house to ensure that guests have maximum privacy. The house was designed to their own specification.with a superb open plan living area with wood burner and balcony, part of which is as high as the house with floor to roof windows to match. The kitchen has a magnificent range cooker and is very well equipped. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, one with en suite shower, and a further bathroom with separate shower. A additional en suite bedroom can be made available at an extra charge.
Blairgowrie is about 20 miles north of Perth and is very conveniently situated for a whole host of interests and activities. There are excellent road connections to Dundee and Fife, where you can visit St Andrews, and maybe even have a round at the 'Home of Golf'. A short drive will bring you to the excellent walking opportunities in the glorious Angus glens, while there is pony trekking and fishing close by. In winter the ski slopes at Glenshee are about 17 miles up the road.
If you continue past Glenshee, you will come to Braemar and the wonderful Highland scenery of Royal Deeside, while an 11 mile drive will bring you to Dunkeld where you can see the ospreys at Loch of the Lowes, and join the A9 to take you north to Aviemore, the Cairngorms and even Inverness.
Glamis Castle, the childhood home of the late Queen Mother, is about 8 miles away at Meigle, while the beautiful beach at Lunan Bay can be reached within the hour.
