1 / 24Five Acre
Auchterarder, Perthshire
A five star home for four on the edge of Auchterarder near Gleneagles, with an upstairs lounge, decked terrace and enclosed garden, two dogs welcome.
There are secure dog parks near Five Acre where the dogs can be let off for a proper tear around, which is the kind of local knowledge the listing volunteers before you ask. The house itself is a five star two bedroom home on the edge of Auchterarder, dog friendly for two dogs, with an enclosed garden, a decked terrace and Gleneagles down the road.
The house runs upside down in the right way: kitchen, dining and family space downstairs around the wood burner, with patio doors to the deck, and the lounge upstairs where the views earn the climb. A king with en suite and a twin share the upper floor with the family bathroom, a third shower room sits below, and a welcome pack and an espresso machine cover both ends of the arrival; the dogs take the deck.
It suits a couple or a small family doing Perthshire properly: Auchterarder's long high street for browsing, Gleneagles for the golf or the spa day, the Ochils rising behind for the walks. The balcony takes the evening drink, the garden takes the dogs, and the wood burner takes whatever is left of everyone.
Gleneagles station is 3 miles for trains north and south, Perth and Stirling sit either side for the city days, and Dollar Glen's castle gorge cuts into the Ochils for a dramatic half day. Two dogs get hills, parks and a secure garden; their people get the five star finish.
