A magnificent seven-bedroom farmhouse in Perthshire, dating back to the early 1800s, has been listed for sale with Savills for offers over £1.9 million. Known as Mains of Bonskeid, the property near Pitlochry is described as an 'immensely comfortable, practical and easily maintained house in immaculate, turnkey condition'. It sits in a private elevated setting on the hills above the Tummel Valley, offering spectacular panoramic views.
The 19th-century farmhouse and steading underwent extensive refurbishment between 2015 and 2018, blending original features with bright, lofty spaces. The interior includes an entrance hall, boot room, and an open-plan kitchen, sitting, and dining room with natural tones, two feature islands, and large windows. A smaller sitting room with an open fire, built-in bookshelves, and a concealed television is also present.
The master bedroom suite, in the new extension, features floor-to-ceiling windows and direct garden access, with an en-suite bathroom including double sinks, a shower, and a bath. Four additional double bedrooms are in the original farmhouse, all en-suite, with hardwood floors, window seats, and tartan curtains. Two more bedrooms are accessed from the boot room, one currently used as a dormitory.
One of the standout features is a Swedish-made partially glazed sauna with a changing area, shower, and garden access. The property sits on about 2.5 acres of landscaped grounds with specimen heathers, a beech hedge, and a wildflower meadow surrounding a small lochan. Despite its secluded feel, Mains of Bonskeid is only four miles from Pitlochry and within easy reach of Dunkeld and Kenmore.
Savills agent Stephanie Clarke commented: 'On top of everything else, this is an extremely easy house to run.' The listing highlights the high level of finish and turnkey condition of the property.
