A property ‘shell’ that offers so much potential

If a property restoration project is your thing, then Parkhill House could be the one for you.

Presented for sale by Baird Lumsden, Parkhill House in Perthshire is a character country house of traditional construction formed in red sandstone under a slate roof.

The property was built as a family home in 1887 for The Hill-Witsons being the centre piece of a large country estate. Parkhill was then purchased by George Smedley, a fruit and jam merchant, and then The McIntoshes.

It was initially a family home for The McIntoshes and then operated as a nursing home until the late 1980s.

The property is a development opportunity with the principal house essentially a shell.

The overall accommodation is formed over two floors extending to approximately 10,100 square feet (938.67 sq m). There are additional attic rooms and stores.

Parkhill House could be a potential wedding venue

The west wing, an upstairs apartment is used by the present owners as their home.

It is anticipated that the property will be of interest to buyers looking to develop a country house in the grand style as their home, but equally it would lend itself to use as a boutique hotel or wedding venue.

Parkhill holds great potential for a range of options.

Outside the property features an impressive entrance drive, a walled garden, a pony paddock, stables / stores and a rear terrace leading onto a croquet lawn. The land in total is approximately 3.21 acres (1.30 Ha).
