AD | A 'Crime' if Apartments of this Quality Don't Sell Quickly!
To showcase its final two apartments, Drummond House, Crieff, the sympathetic conversion of the town’s former Police Station into contemporary and characterful energy-efficient apartments, is holding an Open House event on Friday, the 20th of February, between 11am and 5pm.
Situated on King Street, in the heart of Crieff town centre, the historic, listed building has been given a new lease of life, with nine completely unique apartments.
Features include high ceilings, log burning stoves, modern Leicht German kitchens, and fully tiled bathrooms with double showers. Ground floor apartments are complete with private gardens/outdoor space, whilst many of the properties on the upper floors boast picturesque views across Strathearn. Additionally, private courtyard parking is provided for five of the apartments.
In keeping with the building’s former use as a police station, quirky original features have been retained, such as the police cell doors and windows.
Of the mix of studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments being created from this striking building, four are now occupied, with a further three reserved.
The final two apartments for sale are a superb, one bedroom, second floor apartment, (apartment 9) priced at £179,000, together with a one bedroom ground floor apartment (apartment 3) with private garden, £169,000.
Featuring an open plan living and dining area, with a bespoke Leicht German kitchen complete with fully fitted integral appliances, the second floor apartment offers the perfect mix of classic and contemporary. A stylish log burner adds that indulgent touch - ideal for cold winter nights.
An ideal investment opportunity, or starter home, the one bedroom ground floor apartment has quality finishes throughout, offers the occupant low running costs, and additionally features an enclosed private garden, accessed from the living area. This property also benefits from secure basement storage.
Both of these properties, which will be available for occupancy later in the Spring, can be viewed at the forthcoming Open House Event, 20th February from 11am – 5pm. The second floor property will be fully furnished and dressed as the development’s show apartment. This will enable prospective buyers to appreciate the enhanced specification of the Drummond House apartments.
During the Open House event, local developer behind the ambitious project, William Frame of Braemore Estates, who first identified the potential in Drummond House as a quirky and characterful place to live, will be available to provide guided tours of the entire building to interested parties.
His drive and vision has seen him create a stand out development, providing quality apartment living for Crieff, whilst saving a landmark historic building for the town. A blacksmith in 1746, as the ill fated Battle of Culloden approached, Bonnie Prince Charlie stopped to shoe and water his horses at Drummond House, issuing his call to arms before heading north from the nearby Public House. A Royal Crest depicting the building’s use as a place to shoe horses can still be seen on the front of the building, and is again, a feature being retained.
To date, Drummond House buyers have come from the local area, and further afield, with both investors, and those living and working in Crieff, snapping up an apartment.
Commenting on the final two apartments available for sale, Sales Agent, Gordon McKenzie, from Ballantynes, said: “Both of these stunning apartments have to be seen to be appreciated. They represent a fantastic opportunity to secure a turn key apartment in the much sought town of Crieff. Whether as a seasonal bolthole, an investment property, or your place to live and work locally, these apartments really are a stunning addition to residential property for the town. Crieff has recently seen a real surge in commercial and residential investment and is proving to be a popular hub to live and enjoy this fantastic setting. Who could not enjoy living in such a beautiful town.”
“Braemore Estates has done an incredible job developing this building, both sympathetically and imaginatively,” continued Gordon. “It’s little wonder Drummond House has sold so quickly, predominantly from off plan. Apartments of this quality, in such a unique setting, really don’t come along every day!”
Developer, Willam Frame, outlined his reasons for the Open Day:
“With Drummond House approaching its completion, we welcome the opportunity to engage with anyone interested in living or investing here. It’s been a labour of love to do this incredible building justice.”
“We also look forward to receiving feedback on the new show apartment. It’s quirky and inviting, with a relaxed, yet stylish, country feel, perfectly suited to Crieff.”
William finished by saying that the development’s very first buyer, Sam Heeney Governo, an accomplished Chef and Cookery Teacher, who moved in before Christmas, would be on hand during the Open Day. Sam will be laying on delicious capanes & drinks, and talking to other perspective buyers about why she chose to live at Drummond House.
“Sam has quite the story to tell,” said William. “Not only has she found the perfect location to live, but her new business, which is an exciting new Cook School in Crieff, to open soon, will be situated just over the road, here in King Street.”
“It could not be more convenient for Sam. She is very much part of the vibrant food & drink scene evolving in the town, with Glenturret two Michelin Star less than a mile away, and two Michelin Star Restaurant Andrew Fairlie at Gleneagles, also close by. Another reason, if it was needed, to choose to buy here in Crieff!”
“We look forward to welcoming everyone along to Drummond House on the 20th February between 11am and 5pm!” said William.
