The property
Summerhill is a stunning house which can be enjoyed as a family home or as a high quality fishing lodge. The house and gardens look out over a mile of the beautiful River Tay yet are just a short stroll from the centre of Stanley village.

The house has been used by the family of the current owners and let as a fishing lodge to parties of up to 12. The fishings are being sold separately and simultaneously (further details are available on request). Summerhill has been extremely well maintained following a major refurbishment programme undertaken by the current owners in the late 1990's. The house enjoys a lovely, elevated setting overlooking the Tay and is approached via a private driveway, which ends in a wide gravel sweep beside the house.

The house is entered via a bright entrance vestibule to an open hall with doors off to the principal rooms which are all well-proportioned and have retained their original features. The rear hall leads to the kitchen, breakfast room and utility rooms. The main staircase leads to the eight bedrooms, five of which have ensuite bathrooms.

The large conservatory has a 3⁄4 size snooker table and lounge area. On the lower ground floor there is a tackle room and wine cellars.

Garden Cottage
Within the grounds is a self-contained cottage built in 2009, which is currently used by the housekeeper. The house comprises a large open plan sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

Cook's Cottage

Outside
Summerhill is set in beautiful gardens and grounds which extend to around two acres. A private driveway leads past Garden Cottage and up to the house, with a gravel sweep giving plenty of space for parking.
