Castle Tar is a delightful rural house, quietly nestled above the hamlet of Ballintuim in Highland Perthshire.
Presented by Galbraith, Castle Tar is a pretty house which has been developed and extended by the current family who have owned it for over 50 years.
Originally known as ‘Bishop’s Cottage’ and forming a very small abode where the Bishop of Brechin used to stay for holidays, Castle Tar has had two extensions during the current family ownership resulting in a house of great charm and character.
It is now known as Castle Tar and sits within a most charming and carefully designed plantsman’s garden, well-stocked with specimen shrubs, trees, perennial plants and spring bulbs. The result is a most attractive backdrop to this charming house.
The accommodation lies over two floors, with a welcoming dining kitchen forming the heart of the house. There is a good sized double aspect drawing room centred on a pretty fireplace with wood burning stove and French windows to the terrace. A study, two bedrooms, cloakroom, utility room and bathroom complete the rest of the ground floor accommodation. The first floor currently provides a bedroom, bathroom and dressing room. However, the dressing room could easily be converted back to the fourth bedroom.
The accommodation over two floors comprises –
Ground Floor: Vestibule, hall, drawing room, dining kitchen, study, two bedrooms, bathroom, utility room, cloakroom.
First Floor: Principal bedroom, dressing room/bedroom four with walk in wardrode, bathroom with walk in airing cupboard.
