USP Sporty estate

Braemore House, Meigle, Blairgowrie, may have a claim to be the ultimate country house for a sporty family.

As well as its tennis court, the grounds contain a mini putting green with bunker and there is a separate games building with

shower, kitchenette and bunks for competitors to sleep off their sporting exertions.

Set between Perth and Dundee, Braemore is in a private and leafy location in the former walled garden of Kings of Kinloch House.

Although built in 1991, the L-shaped house has a traditional feel with its courtyard setting and interior detailing.

The living space is generous, well proportioned and almost all at ground-floor level. The house has six bedrooms, an elegant dining room with French doors opening onto the garden plus a family room adjacent to the kitchen and conservatory.

On the first floor is a superb halfpanelled drawing room which spans the width of the house with views over the countryside.

The timber games house could

lend itself to a variety of uses if not needed for sports tournaments.

Outside, the gardens and grounds extend to about an acre and include a paved terrace, circular rose bed, expanses of lawn, mini putting green and practice bunker, and some fine trees which run the length of the tennis court.
