The gardens at Woodhouselee are a particular feature. There is a wonderful raised patio with an enclosed seating to overlook the gardens. To the side of the property, doors lead out from the fabulous sun room to an enclosed west facing garden. The front gardens consists of formal lawns either side of the stone walled driveway, with specimen trees, planted borders and flanked by mature woodland providing privacy.

The lawns stretch along the side of the house and include a concrete helipad, an orchard with fruit cages and vegetable beds.
Doors lead out from the annexe and utility room off the main house to a sheltered and enclosed south facing garden. This includes a Summerhouse, water fountain and area of lawn.
Beyond the mature woodland on the southern boundary, the grounds include a stretch of the Bruar water which extends for just over 200 metres, next to the Bruar falls, being one of Queen Victoria’s favourite places and the subject of Robbie Burns poem ‘The Humble Petition of Bruar Water’.

PaddockImmediately to the east of the entrance driveway, there is an adjoining 13-acre paddock of grazing owned by Atholl Estates.
