Description

2 Atholl Place was built in 1797. At this time, all the houses on the terrace were designed specifically for doctors, with consulting rooms on the lower floors and accommodation for their families upstairs: Atholl Place was Perth’s equivalent of London’s Harley Street. In 2012 the current owners comprehensively refurbished the property, which had fallen into disrepair. The house was entirely re-wired and re-plumbed during the works which also involved restoring walls and ceilings. Since then, 2 Atholl Place has been used for short term lets. The property is now ripe for its next upgrade and could make a fantastic family home.

The accommodation is arranged over four storeys. The front door and formal rooms are on the ground floor; the impressive drawing room has huge sash windows, timber panelling and door facings and the original dumb waiter. There is also a games room, study and bathroom on this level. The original stone stair elegantly curves up the back of the building connecting each floor. On the first floor, a broad landing gives access to a sitting room, bedroom two and also the main bedroom suite. A dressing room connects the main bedroom to its large bathroom (with shower) forming a luxurious suite stretching from the front to the back of the house.

On the second floor there are four further charming bedrooms and a bathroom. At lower ground level there is a fabulous open plan dining room / kitchen as well as a playroom, utility room, store, WC and a garden room with double doors leading to a terrace in the private garden. From the lower ground floor there is also access to the basement courtyard at the front of the house where steps lead up to street level.

Outside
The garden at Atholl Place amounts to about 0.13 acres. It has a paved terrace for sitting out, and the remainder of the garden is mainly lawn. There is lots of potential to create a more formal garden if desired. Atholl Place has two private parking spaces at the front of the house.
