Description
The White House is approached by a 400m long driveway which was once the main
driveway to the neighbouring country house called The Lands of Loyal. The
driveway sweeps around the front of The White House and to a parking area at
the side. The property was built in 1969 on what is believed to have been an
old kitchen garden . The house is arranged over one storey with large picture
windows designed to make the best of the extensive south facing view. Although
there is a front door which opens onto the terrace, the main entrance is via
the back door which has a practical covered entrance and a utility/freezer
room on one side and the kitchen on the other. The kitchen has space for a
small dining table and looks over the beautifully planted back garden. There
is direct access from the kitchen to the living room, while the dining room
and sitting room are situated at the south side of the house with picture
windows framing big views and filling the rooms with light. A pretty reclaimed
Adam style fireplace creates a lovely focal point in the sitting room. At the
east end of the house there are three double bedrooms (one ensuite) a bathroom
and two large fitted cupboards. There is also a floored attic.
Outside
The garden at The White House is a particular feature of the property having
been thoughtfully planted so that it has colour throughout the year. There is
a sunny terrace at the front of the house, expanses of neat, flat lawn,
herbaceous borders, shrubs and rockeries. At the eastern border of the
property is a lovely strip of woodland and mature trees include a beautiful
red sequoia.

Location
The White House is situated on a south facing hillside to the northeast of
Alyth, on ground that was once part of The Lands of Loyal Estate. The property
has a terrific view over the Vale of Strathmore. Famed for its fertile
farmland and soft fruit production, the location is rural and scenic but well
placed for access to Perth (22 miles) and Dundee (17 miles). There are
excellent local amenities in Alyth which has a supermarket, butcher,
ironmonger, cafés and hotels including The Lands of Loyal country house hotel
which is close by. Alyth’s active community enjoys the town’s tennis courts,
bowling green, golf courses, a primary school, town hall and bike park.
Blairgowrie (6 miles) has professional services, secondary schooling, a
cottage hospital, a choice of supermarkets and a variety of shops and
restaurants.
Perth and Dundee offer a more comprehensive range of shops, transport links,
professional services, cultural opportunities and leisure facilities. In
addition to schooling in Blairgowrie, The White House is well placed for
access to some of Scotland’s best private schooling; Craigclowan, Glenalmond,
Strathallan, Kilgraston and The High School of Dundee are all within 30 miles.
There are railway stations at Perth and Dundee. Dundee Airport has direct
services to London, while Edinburgh Airport (62 miles) has a wide range of
domestic and international flights.
The location is ideal for those who enjoy the outdoors. There are three golf
courses at Blairgowrie (including a championship course) and a further three
courses at Alyth. The Perthshire Hills and the Angus Glens are easily
accessible and popular with hillwalkers; there is skiing at Glenshee (about 17
miles) and salmon fishing on the rivers Tay, Isla and Ericht.
