Embden House, Blairgowrie, PH10 6SU

Distinctive Arts and Crafts dower house Description Embden House was built in the 1880s as the Dower House for neighbouring Newton Castle. It is a handsome and architecturally important property.

Built during the Arts and Crafts movement, its irregular gables, asymmetric windows, mock half timbering and leaded windows all reflect the height of style at the time.

Over the years, the original features of Embden have been carefully looked after and remain largely intact giving the house a wonderful sense of history and grandeur.

The house has two beautiful formal reception rooms. The drawing room has decorative moulded plasterwork on the ceiling, timber panelled walls and a large carved timber fire surround.

The adjacent dining room also has a carved timber fire surround. Large windows (with diamond leaded details) fill both rooms with light and they are ideal for entertaining.

At the centre of the house a smart reception hall connects the formal rooms with the informal living spaces.

The hall has a window with more patterned leaded windows, timber panelling, a fireplace with gas fired stove and a wide timber staircase with finialled newel posts.

Informal rooms include a sitting room with wood burning stove and French windows, a garden room / porch (the original front entrance), a study and dining kitchen (with aga) along with ancillary rooms including a utility room and two WCs.

On the first floor the principle bedroom has an en suite bathroom, Bedroom two has a dressing room and there are two further double bedrooms as well as a separate bathroom.

There are also lots of good storage cupboards. Outside Stone pillars frame the entrance to Embden House and open to an expanse of block paving where there is plenty of space to park and turn.

The property sits in just over an acre of mature garden which is largely neat lawn edged by mature trees. There is lots of scope to create more interest in the garden if desired.
