PROPERTY
Aspen House was designed and built by its current owners in 1987 with the aim of creating a light and spacious four-bedroom home
with sizeable rooms ideal for both family life and entertaining. Slate from the nearby Shier Glas quarry has been used for both the
roof and internal detail and the handcrafted windows, doors and general woodwork are of the highest quality. A particular feature of
the house is the fabulous open plan kitchen with Aga that opens into a more formal dining room and conservatory. All four
bedrooms are spacious and have their own bath or shower room. The property has clearly been lovingly maintained over the years
and exudes character.
The two acres of gardens and wooded grounds have been beautifully planted with seasonal arrays of daffodils, rhododendrons and
azeleas, and include the rare mountain chicory. The vegetable garden has well tended balanced soil and is situated next to both an
apple orchard and rhubarb bed. The trees surrounding the property include Cecil oak, copper beach, rowan and silver birch setting
off the unrivalled views over the Pass of Killiecrankie and Crag Fonvuick to the front and Ben Y Vrackie to the rear. A wood store,
dog kennel, tool shed and greenhouse also add to the property.
Aspen House is accessed from the Old A9 via a tree-lined drive that follows the footprint of General Wade's road, making access to a
main road easy during winter months. The towns of Pitlochry and Blair Atholl, with a whole host of local services, are within 5 miles,
the House of Bruar is within 7 miles and the city of Perth is 28 miles away.
DIRECTIONS
From Pitlochry, head north out of the town on the Atholl Road. After approximately 5 miles, you will enter the village of
Killiecrankie and come across the white National Trust Visitors Centre on your left. Immediately after the Centre, the road bends
sharply to the left and the entrance to Aspen House, notifiable by a landscaped low built slate wall and wrought iron gate, is on your
right after a field. Should you find the Killiecrankie Hotel on your right, you have gone too far.
