Presented by Rettie and Co, New St David’s is set in an attractive garden with an open outlook over rural Perthshire.
New St David’s enthuses charm with its sympathetic balance between traditional design with a classical and stylish interior which has been achieved using bespoke joinery with radiator covers and detailed finishes including arch doorways and ceiling mouldings.
A particular feature is the cottage, which equips the property with the potential for additional income or extra accommodation for friends or relatives.
New St David’s is accessed via a traditional porch through a half-glazed timber door. The porch opens out into a large welcoming entrance hall, which has the potential to be used as a dining hall, and from which the principal ground floor reception rooms, as well as the stair to the first floor, are accessed. The drawing room is a very enchanting, triple aspect room with full height astragal windows on two elevations. A central focal point to the room is the open fireplace with limestone surround, matching mantel and hearth.
Continuing through the ground floor and adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast room is the formal dining room. It is a generously proportioned room which allows ample space for formal dining. The room benefits from a triple aspect providing an attractive outlook over the garden.
