Description
Old Mill House forms the major part of a B listed 18th century farm steading
which was converted into a home in 2008. It includes a fabulous circular
horsemill. The floor area of the house amounts to 756. 4 square metres (8142
square feet) with the most impressive rooms creating an exciting impact in the
main body of the house. The reception hall is partially vaulted and has a
large fireplace at one end. Whilst it makes a fabulously welcoming entrance to
the house, it could also be used as a fantastic entertaining space. From the
hall double doors lead to the beautiful circular horsemill. A multitude of
windows fitted with black out curtains mean that this bright sitting room can
quickly transform into a home cinema. On the other side of the hall is the
kitchen. Arguably the best room in the house, a vaulted and glazed wall at one
end fills the room with light. There is a central island, an electric aga,
induction hob, space for a large dining table and a door to the
courtyard/terrace. A door links the kitchen to the dining room which is a
similar size but with a warmer atmosphere and ideal for entertaining on a
large scale. A library, garden room, study and office fill the southwestern
wing of the house and are linked externally by a verandah. Between the kitchen
and the garden room there is a conservatory. Also on the ground floor there is
a large utility room which connects to a boot room and double garage.
On the first floor a galleried landing leads to four bedrooms. The impressive
main bedroom suite has a balcony, dressing room and a luxurious bathroom.
Bedroom two has an en suite bathroom and walk in wardrobe whilst two further
bedrooms share a shower room.
Outside
Old Mill House is set in about 0. 66 acres which extends mainly to the south
and west and is principally grass. A sheltered terrace beside the conservatory
is a lovely spot to sit out in good weather, as is the verandah which spans
the entire western gable of the property. The Tay estuary is only about 100
metres from the property and tantalising glimpses of the water can be seen
from the house.

Location
Old Mill House is situated at Port Allen which is just to the south of Errol
on the banks of the Tay Estuary. Port Allen was a busy grain shipping port in
the 18th century but is now a peaceful settlement surrounded by fertile
farmland overlooking the Tay Estuary. Errol village (2 miles) has two general
stores, a butcher, a pub and an active community. Old Mill is very well placed
for private schools in and around Perth (including Craigclowan, Strathallan
and Kilgraston) as well as The High School of Dundee and also St Leonards in
St Andrews.
Perth and Dundee are 11 and 14 miles away respectively and both have a
selection of shops and professional services as well as theatres, art
galleries, museums and cinemas. Both towns have a choice of leisure facilities
and golf courses while Gleneagles and St Andrews are within 30 miles of Errol.
Port Allen has a lovely rural location. It is close to riverside walks and the
reed beds of the Tay, which attract a variety of birdlife. The coastal towns
and villages of the East Neuk of Fife are easily reached via the Tay Bridge to
the southeast while the rivers, hills and lochs of the Perthshire highlands
and the Angus Glens rise up to the north.
Perth and Dundee train stations have regular services to Edinburgh, Glasgow,
Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness and London. Edinburgh Airport is about 48 miles
away and there are direct flights from Dundee Airport (12 miles) to London.
There are also regular bus services from St Madoes to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
All distances and travel times are approximate.
