A home to sweep you off your feet

A former jute baron’s mansion in Blairgowrie has been converted into luxury apartments. The spectacular penthouse is now on sale.

Broomfield House is a handsome Edwardian mansion on the outskirts of Blairgowrie. Built early in the 20th Century for a Dundee jute baron, it was split into three apartments and a penthouse around seven years ago. Spread over most of the second floor, number four is the three-bedroom penthouse.

A shared, furnished reception hall leads to the sweeping original staircase up to the apartment’s entrance.

The main living space is an L-shaped open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area that has floor to ceiling windows that flood the room with light.

Perhaps the property’s finest feature is the terrace that stretches across one side of the apartment and is accessed by sliding glass doors from the lounge and master bedroom. With decking and glass balustrades, it’s a magnificent space and perfect for outdoor dining or a Sunday morning coffee.

The master bedroom has an en suite shower room while two further double bedrooms share a family bathroom.

The entrance to Broomfield is served by remote controlled gates and is flanked by mature rhododendrons, neat grass verges and a beech hedge.

The driveway ends in a gravelled sweep. Parkland surrounds the house and mature beech, oak and pine are among the trees that provide a backdrop worthy of the building.

The penthouse at Broomfield features a spectacular terrace.
