Property description
Situated on a private road shared with just one other property, but only about 2 miles from Forfar, this is a very comfortable, easily run family home in a plot of approximately half an acre of well-tended gardens with lovely views of open countryside, the Sidlaws, and the Grampians.
The property is within a half-mile of the A90, approximately twelve miles north of Dundee, Aberdeen is within easy commuting distance and giving easy access to airports at Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Dundee.
The garden includes numerous mature trees, a herb garden close to the kitchen, two greenhouses, fruit trees and a vegetable garden. There are several very attractive, sheltered, paved areas providing ideal places for al fresco meals and entertaining.
There is a bothy just ready to convert to additional living accommodation or office premises, and a large stone barn currently used as a workshop and for storage but which could readily serve as a double garage.
In the sitting room is a multi-fuel stove which, during the winter months, heats all the radiators and also provides the domestic hot water. There is full double glazing and central heating and with four or five bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, a large open-plan kitchen/family room, spacious sitting room, a separate dining room, and family bathroom there is plenty of space for a family.
This property really is in "move into" condition throughout and must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
