Soak in the views: a Perth farmhouse is on sale for £450,000
When the Perthshire native Julie Campbell and her Spanish husband, José González, bought part of a derelict farm steading on a hillside north of Pitlochry back in 2009, it contained just one thing: a beautiful, beaten-up, old Victorian rolltop cast-iron bathtub.
As they undertook an architect-designed conversion of the steading to turn it into what is today — the sublime, four-bedroom semi-detached countryside home they call simply The Barn — it seemed a shame to throw the old bath away. So it was shifted into the front garden, where it stands ornamentally on a raised deck, against a backdrop of a lush green hillside. It has been put to a multitude of uses ever since.
'I was going to make it into a pond,' Campbell
