Ayton
House enjoys an enchanting and secluded setting - when strolling
around the grounds, it is difficult to believe the estate is only
a few miles from Perth and a 35-minute drive from Edinburgh airport.
Built principally in the 17th, 18th and19th centuries, and based
on the site of an old Roman watchtower, this family home is much
loved by the owners who have made this a warm and welcoming house.
This is a spacious house in which to revel. A large dining room, with service kitchen added next door, and the grand drawing room are located on the first floor to take advantage of the views from vast, beautifully oak-shuttered windows. For parties who prefer informal dining there is an extensive living kitchen with huge leather-top table and comfortable sofas in a bay window. The scullery is equally as large and a housekeeper’s delight.
Combined with the number and quality of the bedrooms, this makes Ayton House a perfect choice for large family get-togethers, golfing holidays or corporate entertainment and business seminars. The private grounds and welcoming ambience also provide a magnificent backdrop for a special family celebration.
There are 600
acres of grounds to enjoy with attractive woodland and an all
weather tennis court. The Fair City of Perth will fulfil a shopper’s greatest desire and there are contemporary bars and restaurants to enjoy as well as theatre, cinema etc. Ayton House is perfectly situated for enjoying the golf courses of Perthshire, Angus and Fife.
