Summary - DONAVOURD HOUSE, PITLOCHRY, DONAVOURD PH16 5JS
10 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms across circa 9,272 sq ft
Donavourd House is a fully refurbished early 19th-century country house set in 5.19 acres with far-reaching Tummel Valley views. The granite and sandstone facade, high ceilings and period detailing combine with modern upgrades — a large dining kitchen with Miele appliances, three recently upgraded en suites, and a 149 kW biomass boiler serving the house. The property includes a self-contained East Wing annexe, a new triple garage, summerhouse with services, stables for four horses and formal gardens with vegetable beds and polytunnel.
The layout suits a large family, multigenerational household or those seeking an events/hospitality base: ten bedrooms, eight reception rooms and seven bathrooms across circa 9,272 sq ft, plus extensive parking behind electric gates. Many principal rooms open to terraces and lawned gardens, and the summerhouse and remodeled grounds provide useful entertaining and family spaces. Recent works include reroofing, repointing, replacement sash-and-case double glazing and internal redecoration, so the house is largely move-in ready.
Practical considerations are important. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is only average — factors to weigh if remote working is essential. Council tax is described as very expensive, and the house’s size and grounds will require ongoing maintenance and management. The property sits in a rural, ageing neighbourhood and the wider area records high deprivation indices, although Pitlochry’s shops, schools and rail links are just 1.5 miles away.
Overall, Donavourd House offers a rare combination of period character, recent high-spec refurbishment and substantial private land. It will suit buyers seeking a prominent family country house with flexible accommodation and significant garden, leisure and equestrian potential, while accepting the higher ongoing costs and rural connectivity limits.
