Situation
Lying opposite St Andrews Church, Kinloch enjoys a delightful position in the charming small town of Kirriemuir, the ‘Gateway to the Glens’. Characterised by winding streets and red sandstone properties, it is five miles north of Forfar and is famously the childhood home of author J.M.Barrie who created Peter Pan. Daily shopping needs are well met in the town with retailers including a post office, bakery, and convenience stores and there is a dentist, library, and health centre. For an even greater choice of cultural and visitor attractions, vibrant Dundee, home to the V&A and the revitalized waterfront with the famous RRS Discovery is a thirty-minute drive and Aberdeen is only an hour away. The town boasts a popular golf club, Neverland play park, and a sports centre with a swimming pool, gym, all-weather pitches, and fitness classes. Edinburgh is approximately just under two hours to the south.
The area is surrounded by stunning countryside with wonderful opportunities to explore the Angus Glens and the great outdoors at scenic destinations including the Cairngorms National Park, Forfar Loch Country Park, and Crombie Country Park. Various visitor attractions such as Camera Obscura, Tayside Police Museum, and Barries Birthplace Museum are popular. Alongside local primary and high schooling in Kirriemuir, there are private options available at The High School of Dundee. There is a good bus service locally, and a train station in Dundee, with Edinburgh International Airport 90 minutes away by car. Domestic flights are available from Dundee.
General Description
Featuring fine period details, modern touches, and a spacious and versatile layout, this stunning four-bedroom detached villa nestled in mature gardens presents a rare opportunity. From a sweeping gravel driveway flanked by a large south-east-facing manicured lawn nestled behind mature hedges, the front door opens into an entrance vestibule with parquet tiling and then into a sizeable, carpeted hallway with oak four-panel doors leading to the ground-floor accommodation. On your left lies a magnificent bay-windowed dining room overlooking the front garden. Adorned with high ceilings, handsome wooden flooring, and boasting fine period details including exquisite cornicing, a ceiling rose, and a cast iron fireplace set in a stone mantle it exudes timeless elegance. Directly opposite is a light-filled, spacious sitting room showcasing a charming interior design. With bay windows to the front, intricate cornicing, wooden flooring, and a cosy log-burning stove this room is warm and welcoming, ideal for family life and entertaining. Moving further into the residence, you arrive at a generously proportioned and well-appointed dual-aspect kitchen leading to a rear vestibule, shower room, and substantial utility room. Featuring an L-shaped design, oak wall and floor units are complemented by black gloss worktops, an extractor hood, and a striking range cooker. The layout easily accommodates informal dining positioning this room very much at the heart of the home. Completing the living and reception areas is a versatile second dining room currently utilised as a study. Opening into a modern sunroom enjoying panoramic garden views and direct access, this is a wonderful place to relax, unwind, and entertain. Returning to the hallway, an original staircase with a carved oak banister takes you to the light and airy first-floor landing. Tastefully decorated, two south-east-facing bedrooms enjoy a delightful aspect to the front, whilst the two to the rear also benefit from an appealing outlook and finish. They share access not only to a design-led and luxuriously appointed shower room with a towel radiator, washbasin, and hidden cistern wall-hung WC set against large porcelain wall and floor tiles, but also to a contemporary bathroom featuring a washbasin set into a wall-hung vanity, bath with a wall-mounted shower and WC. A study/dressing room/bedroom is a flexible space and rounds off the fabulous internal accommodation.
EXTERIOR
The beautifully landscaped south-east-facing front garden features a manicured lawn, mature hedging, and established trees.
To the rear, the idyllic garden presents a lush lawn, surrounded by well-established borders and mature trees providing a sense of privacy and tranquillity. There is a well-tended kitchen garden, whilst flowering plants and raised sleeper beds add colour throughout the seasons. A greenhouse and shed only enhance its appeal.
A gravel driveway to the front provides ample off-street parking.
