The house was built in 1797 during the reign of George III and when Perth was leading the way in Scottish architecture. Edinburgh’s new town, for example, is largely modelled on buildings in Perth.

The house was completely restored to its former glory in 2012 and now contains all modern conveniences, whilst still retaining its original period features. It has 4,500 square feet of living space over four floors.

There are six bedrooms, three bathrooms and an additional cloakroom.
