Exterior: Neish House is set within a generous plot, which bounds the house on all sides and frames it attractively. Affording the house a genuine sense of privacy, it is screened by a combination of tall hedging and a mixture of mature coniferous and evergreen trees. Verdant herbaceous borders provide year-round colour and interest and the plots variegated array of plants, flowering shrubs, and trees include Rhododendron, Rose, Hydrangea, Rowan, and Willow.
To the front, the house presides over a pretty garden, which features a lawn punctuated by a charming weeping willow and trimmed by well-stocked borders and a neat gravel pathway, leading to the formal entrance door. It has stone walling with wrought iron railings and a pedestrian entrance gate, sheltered by a charming trellis. The main entrance into the plot leads onto a spacious private driveway, which is finished with gravel and stretches along the Eastern side of the house, as well as sweeping around to the rear. It provides ample room for parking and turning multiple vehicles. The rear garden is principally laid to lawn and is well screened by mature trees and hedging. Its features a patio terrace by the coach house and a timber garden shed. To the West of the house, there is a sheltered and spacious gravel area, which is suited towards alfresco living and entertaining - with a patio terrace and a glazed door from the living/dining room.
Our clients rent an area of ground opposite the house from the Drummond Estate on a minimal annual rent. It adjoins the Loch shoreline and features a timber deck/jetty which extends over Loch Earn, as well as a summerhouse serviced with electricity - both built by the current owners of Neish House. It is believed that the right to rent the lochside will pass onto the future owners of Neish House, subject to continued payment of the annual levy. Please contact Rettie for further information.
