Hatton House, Blairgowrie

Hatton House is one of three houses within the former walled garden at Arthurstone and forms part of a unique development of some eleven houses, including three conversions. Arthurstone is in the heart of the Vale of Strathmore, close to the county border between Perthshire and Angus. The Vale of Strathmore is a fertile plain which lies between the Sidlaw Hills to the south and the Angus Glens to the north with the Grampian mountains rising behind. Strathmore is famous for its attractive scenery, productive farmland and for Glamis Castle, childhood home of the late Queen Mother. As well as being most attractive the area benefits from good communications to Perth, Dundee, Aberdeen and Edinburgh. The A94 connects Perth with Forfar. From Perth the M90 motorway links to Edinburgh, whilst the A9 and M90 give access to Stirling and Glasgow. Forfar is on the A90 dual carriageway to Aberdeen. Dundee and Perth have mainline railway stations with regular services to the south including a sleeper. Edinburgh Airport has a range of domestic and European flights and there is a direct link from Dundee to London City Airport. Arthurstone House, immediately to the west of the gardens, is now Butterstone Preparatory School. There is a primary school and local shopping in Meigle. Further local shopping is found in Coupar Angus. Secondary schooling is available in Blairgowrie and in Dundee, which along with Perth provides all the services expected of major cities. Other private schooling is available locally at Craigclowan, Dundee High School, Strathallan, Kilgraston and Glenalmond.
DESCRIPTION
Hatton House is a most prestigious modern house, which was completed in 2001. It was built for the sellers to a very high specification and is a well designed, extremely comfortable and spacious family home. The house is situated within the walled garden at Arthurstone, which is a most attractive site with views south to the Sidlaws and Kinpurney Hill. It is timber framed with a block and wet dash finish under a slate roof. With its dormer windows, timber facings and intriguing features there is a traditional feel to the house. It is fully double glazed with high levels of insulation. Internally it has been thoughtfully designed and is ideal for entertaining. The house is covered by a NHBC guarantee.
The gardens and grounds around them are managed for the benefit of the residents. In front of Hatton House part of the original garden has been retained and outwith the gardens are attractive mature trees and shrubs. Gates open up onto a monoblock drive with Victorian style lamps leading up to a parking and turning area in front of both the house and garage.
