GENERAL
Laguna lies in the county of Perthshire, some ten miles north
of Perth, recently granted City status in honour of the Queen’s
Jubilee. Perth provides excellent services, including a modern
concert hall, popular theatre, cinema, national retailers, banks and
main line railway station. The A9 lies approximately two miles
to the west of Laguna and gives swift access to both Edinburgh
and Glasgow with their international airports and extensive city
amenities.
To the north lies Murthly and to the south Stanley. Both provide
good day to day facilities, including primary schools, village shop
and in Stanley, two churches, post office, restaurant and doctors’
surgery.
Laguna is well positioned for a number of independent schools,
including Glenalmond, Strathallan, Kilgraston, Craigclowan,
Morrison’s Academy and Ardvreck. All are within a comfortable
daily travelling distance of Laguna.
Perthshire is a county offering a wealth of recreational activities.
Sport may be taken locally with the famous River Tay very close
by, providing exceptional salmon fishing. For the golfer there are
numerous courses within a comfortable distance, they include
Dunkeld, Perth, the Championship courses of Rosemount and
Landsdowne, together with Gleneagles which will host the 2014
Ryder Cup and its three championship courses. The ski slopes of
Glenshee lie to the north and can be reached in approximately
an hour’s journey by car, whilst for the walker there are many
mountain ranges for hill walking and mountaineering. For the
ornithologist there are a number of reserves, including the Loch
of the Lowes at nearby Dunkeld.
DESCRIPTION
Laguna is a charming and most attractive residential estate.
Sitting within some 35 acres, it comprises Laguna House, a
delightful country house, together with a four bedroomed
cottage, outbuildings providing garaging and workshop, together
with stabling, paddocks, kitchen garden and woodland policies.
Laguna is believed to date back to 1842 and built by Sir William
Drummond Steuart of Murthly and remained in the Steuart family
until 1923. It was subsequently enlarged and extended by the
following generations of ownership. As a result Laguna House is
a most comfortable country house providing well proportioned
rooms over two floors.
Laguna has a cream painted harled exterior under a predominately
slated roof with astragal sash and case windows and ornate
chimneys. The tree lined drive, edged with rhododendrons and
azaleas, leads to an extensive gravel sweep to the front, flanked
with extensive lawns.
Laguna provides a practical lay out with the entrance hall leading
directly to the inner staircase hall, from where the principal rooms
are reached. Double doors lead to the drawing room, which is
centred on an open fireplace and overlooks the west lawn. The
garden room enjoys a triple aspect and leads directly into the
conservatory with French windows leading to the garden. Both
the kitchen and the dining room enjoy a southerly aspect and,
with an interconnecting door, are highly practical for entertaining.
The sitting room lies to the north, adjacent to the secondary
kitchen, and is centred on a fireplace with double aspect and
French windows to the garden.
The bedrooms lie on the first floor. The principal bedroom suite
enjoys a southerly outlook over the garden and comprises a
bedroom with dressing room and bathroom. There are five
further bedrooms serviced by three further bathrooms.
Laguna House can be occupied as one principal residence or
alternatively the wing to the rear can be a separate annex with
its own hall, kitchen, sitting room, cloakroom, two bedrooms
and bathroom. This annex could therefore provide separate
accommodation for a nanny, family member or indeed as a
holiday let unit.

Bathroom • Four Bedrooms • Cloakroom • Rear Lobby with

GARDENS AND POLICIES
The gardens and policies of Laguna provide a most attractive
backdrop to the house. A tree lined driveway, flanked by
rhododendrons and azaleas, leads down to the south lawns and
on to an extensive gravelled sweep, lying directly to the front of
the house. The driveway leads to a courtyard to the rear, providing
ample parking. The south lawns are edged by a combination
of mature shrubs, trees, rhododendrons and azaleas, giving
wonderful structure and colour throughout the year. To the west
is a charming further lawned garden with terrace and edged with
shrubs and specimen trees, including a fine pink weeping horse
chestnut to the south west.
Flanking the lawned garden are the woodland policies offering great
amenity to Laguna and an ideal habitat for the myriad of wildlife
enjoyed and readily seen, including red squirrels, deer, pheasant,
wood cock, oyster catchers, hare and song birds. The woodlands
consist of principally mature Scots pine with birch, fir, oak and
beech. They provide privacy and shelter to the house and gardens.
The kitchen garden lies to the north east of the estate and is
enclosed by a mature hedge. It comprises a number of beds, ideal
for the growing of vegetables and includes a fruit cage, potting
shed and former greenhouses, which following a programme of
renovation works could be highly productive again.
There are three paddocks, extending to some 10 acres. They are
each serviced by water, fully enclosed by stock proofed fencing
and the paddock adjacent to the driveway has a pony shelter and
dressage arena. In addition two of the paddocks have an extensive
ring of electric fencing.
