INTRODUCTION TO LAWERS ESTATE

Lawers Estate provides an unexpected opportunity to acquire a superior country house of scale with stabling, workshops and storage, some of which might lend themselves to conversion to form additional residential or commercial accommodation.

The Estate is conveniently located in a magnificent setting boasting panoramic views across stunning Strathearn and the surrounding countryside, yet still within commuting distance of Perth, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Extending to approximately 644.90 Acres (260.98 Ha) in total, Lawers Estate currently comprises a three storey 19th century A-listed mansion house boasting over 75 rooms: including 7 public rooms, ballroom and billiard room, 16 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, gun room, offices and ancillary stores along with clocktower flat, swimming pool, tennis court and pond with charming boathouse.

The gardens and policy grounds immediately surrounding Lawers House (shown collectively as Lot 1 on the sale plan) extend to approximately 50.94 Acres (20.62 Ha) and are laid mainly to lawn with a variety of shrubs, herbaceous borders and mature and specimen trees. There is a formal garden across the terrace immediately in front of the house before dropping away to the view southward extending down a long avenue of tree lined paddocks. To the rear, there is a large turning area providing ample parking for several cars or larger vehicles as required.

In addition, there are eight further residential properties spread across the estate which could be used (as some currently are) to generate a useful income stream from residential tenancies or short term and holiday lets.

Beyond the immediate policy grounds contained within Lot 1 lie the equestrian centre, a magnificent walled garden and approximately 575.79 Acres (233.02 Ha) of arable quality agricultural land.

The equestrian centre extends to approximately 12.08 Acres (4.89 Ha) and includes three paddocks and a range of general-purpose buildings with 14 stables, in their current configuration. Two of the residential properties, The Granary and Grooms Flat, are included within this package.

The walled garden extends to approximately 2.96 Acres (1.20 Ha) in a loose L-shape as it hugs the contours of the hill. With its stone rubble walls, sloping orchard, formal garden areas which include, a vegetable and ornamental garden as well as a heated glasshouse and apiary, it is a truly tranquil space from which to enjoy the passing of the seasons.

The bulk of the land sits to the south of the public road and is a contiguous block of primarily Grade 3.2 arable quality farmland capable of producing potatoes. There is a central tarmacadam road providing vehicular access but all fields, which are of a sufficient size to make the most of modern mechanised farming practices, are well served either from the public road or from a series of internal tracks.

Three of the aforementioned eight residential properties, Loch Cottage, Park Lodge and Gardeners Cottage, have been made available as separate lots as they sit on the boundary between Lawers and the neighbouring estate to the west, with easy access to the main road over a shared drive.
