Persie House

Enjoy both traditionalism and luxury in this wonderful country home, set on 1,500 acres of land in the bright Perthshire countryside. The home boasts marvellous bay windows and iconic turrets, and is surrounded by beautiful garden set to lawn with an impressive front drive. Choose from a range of lounge and games areas in which to relax and enjoy the sole use of a private on-site tennis court. Comfortably hosting as many as 24 guests, this property is the perfect spot for your extended family get-together, ideal for a birthday or anniversary celebration.

The home boasts Edwardian-style elements throughout, including wood panelled walls in an impressive initial hallway and wood burners in beautiful fireplaces in two lounge areas. Antique furniture is paired with charming floral and tartan prints in every room, and large windows overlooking the surrounding grounds act as a constant reminder of your remote countryside location.

Guests of all ages will find a calming space to relax on the ground floor of this property, where a drawing room, games room and study boast space to unwind, watch TV or enjoy a board game. Head to the sun room for a calming space to sit down with a good book with views of the surrounding gardens. The generous kitchen is well equipped to cook for 24 however, if that is a daunting prospect, feel free to make prior arrangement to have your party catered for by the owners of the house. The house benefits from a regular housekeeper, who’ll clean all reception rooms and bathrooms every day. Teenagers and young adults will love the games room with table tennis and pool table.

Head upstairs via the vast sweeping staircase to find six bedrooms hosting 11 guests. Every bedroom is generously sized and features high ceilings and huge windows, creating a wonderful space to rest your head each night. Antique furniture has been used to maintain the Edwardian style throughout, and some bedrooms boast special pieces such as vintage rocking chairs or old wooden dressers.

On the second floor you’ll find the five remaining bedrooms. Four of these are charming twin bedrooms and the fifth is a dormitory-style bedroom. This dorm sleeps five and is an exciting addition for younger children to enjoy a nightly sleepover. A seating area in the house’s grand turret is also a unique addition on this floor.

A property this grand boasts similarly impressive grounds. The home is set on 1,500 acres of land, most of which has been set to manicured lawn and is a wonderful spot to relax outdoors. Venture into the mature woodlands to access your private tennis courts, wander down to the Blackwater River to fish for salmon or take a dip in one of the Persie lochs.

Whilst Scotland may be best known for its whisky distilleries, you'll find a warm welcome at the local Persie Gin Distillery, which is just 0.5 miles from your home. Drop by to visit their working still, enjoy some free gin samples or even experience a ‘liquid tour' tasting session.
