Summary - CASTLEMAINS LODGE, AUCHTERARDER PH3 1JR
Distinctive Victorian lodge with prominent turret and winding stair
Castlemains Lodge is a distinctive Victorian/Scottish Baronial detached lodge with a prominent turret and mature grounds of about 0.3 acres. The house offers character features throughout — a winding turret staircase, stained/mosaic floors in the kitchen, sash-style windows and a multi-fuel stove — giving an attractive period feel for a family or buyer seeking a character home on the edge of Auchterarder.
The accommodation is compact but well arranged over multiple levels: sitting room with dining area, kitchen with integrated Smeg oven and dishwasher, three double bedrooms (one on the ground floor) and both a traditional freestanding roll-top-bath bathroom and a modern shower room. Practical updates include uPVC double glazing and a gas boiler replaced in 2023. Outside, the established, predominantly lawned gardens, original stone wall and off-street parking for two vehicles are strong amenity features for outdoor enjoyment and privacy.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property sits within an area described as very deprived, broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is above average — factors that may affect running costs and connectivity. The internal footprint is characterful but relatively compact for a three-bedroom detached house, so those needing larger open-plan living may find space limited. Overall, the lodge is best suited to purchasers seeking period charm, a sizable private plot and scope to personalise rather than a newly refurbished turnkey home.
This house will particularly appeal to families or downsizers who value character, gardens and proximity to Auchterarder’s amenities and transport links to Perth and Stirling, as well as buyers looking for a distinctive countryside-edge property with immediate outdoor space and period detail.
