Angus House is a hugely impressive home situated in Edzell, and is possibly the largest house in the village. Dating from about 1907, it was built in an Arts and Crafts style, which was typical of the Edwardian period. Originally built as an asylum it was then used as a convalescence home and as a residential centre. In 2010 it was acquired by the sellers who then set about an ambitious and extensive refurbishment throughout, along with the addition of a timber clad wing to balance the rear of the property. It is now one of the very finest houses in Edzell. A most attractive property, being principally built of dressed stone with a slate roof, it is now thoroughly modern inside, and sits within enclosed grounds, with two separate entrances off Inveriscandye Road, which extend to about 1.3 acres.

The renovations were architect-designed, by the well known Archid Architects, and involved total refurbishment internally, including damp proofing, rewiring, replumbing, insulation, new central heating, including underfloor heating throughout, and double glazing, along with the addition of the extension which provides a fabulous sun room. The ground floor of the house is centred around a gaming room or inner hallway, so is ideal for entertaining, with two further reception rooms. Above this is a galleried landing, off which are four good sized bedrooms including a principal suite and two further en suite bedrooms and a bathroom. Also downstairs is a large kitchen and family room, which links to the sun room. As such it is a house that flows well. There is a one bedroom self contained annexe to the rear, currently part used as a gym, which could be configured, subject to obtaining any necessary consents, to provide an additional two guest bedrooms for the house, albeit currently with a separate entrance, if needed. High quality fittings and finishings have been used throughout, along with an impressive new oak staircase and Doria doors. As such, Angus House is a thoroughly modern house within the original shell. There is a Sonos music system in the lounge, sun room, dining room, gaming room, kitchen, utility room, office, pantry, principal bedroom, and the gym within the annexe. Yet at the same time the house has a traditional feel with cornices in many of the main rooms both downstairs and upstairs, together with wooden flooring in the three reception rooms and family room. There is Porcelanosa tiled flooring in the kitchen, utility room, pantry, rear hallway and one of the WCs.

Electric entrance gates open onto to a tarred driveway which leads up to tarred parking by the house, and continues on to the garage block to the rear. A covered entrance has a front door to an entrance vestibule with original tiled flooring. To one side is a useful cloakroom with hanging rails and storage shelves. On the other is the gaming room, which is a large reception room with the galleried landing above, together with a raised Aarrow fireplace, wall mounted Panasonic TV and a shelved cupboard. Arranged off this is an office with a fitted desk within a bay window, and a Bravia wall mounted TV; together with a double aspect dining room with an original fireplace with wooden mantel, and three wall lights; while sliding doors give access to the lounge with some Timorous Beastie wallpaper. Also off the gaming room is a WC with a Villeroy & Boch washbasin and WC; and a wonderful and sizeable open plan family room/kitchen. This has a freestanding wood burning stove in the living/informal dining area, while the fully fitted Hacker kitchen has Encore worktops, a wine rack, and appliances including a NEFF microwave, Bosch dishwasher, Blanco 1.5 bowl sink, Miele fridge/freezer, while an island unit has a further Blanco sink, Rangemaster Excel cooker with extractor, two Baumatic wine fridges, along with a breakfast bar. Off the kitchen is a pantry, again with Hacker units, with a Samsung fridge/freezer with water and ice dispenser, and another Blanco sink. The kitchen opens through to the fabulous sun room, with a further informal dining area, doors to outside decking and a seating area with a Dovre wood burning stove, Sony wall mounted TV, and Thomas Sanderson blinds. On the other side of the kitchen a rear hallway with back stairs and side entrance door, gives access to a further WC with a Rocca washbasin and WC, together with a utility room with a clothes pulley, fitted units with Blanco sink, LG washing machine, LG dryer, under counter fridge, back door and a shelved store.

Off the galleried landing is the principal double aspect bedroom with a wall mounted Panasonic TV, dressing room with fitted wardrobes and an en suite with a Kohler spa bath, Grohe shower, two washbasins, WC and Amtico flooring. Bedroom 2 has a dressing area and an en suite with shower cubicle, washbasin and WC. There is a walk in store, while bedroom 3 is also double aspect. The family bathroom has Porcelanosa tiling, bath with shower, Kohler washbasin and WC. There is a shelved cupboard and study area, while bedroom 4 has an en suite with shower, washbasin and WC.

The annexe presently comprises a hallway with a shelved cupboard, kitchen with fitted units with a sink, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge/freezer, NEFF hob and oven with extractor, and a Zanussi dryer. The living room, currently used as a gym, has a wall mounted Sony TV and wooden flooring. A bathroom has a bath with shower, washbasin and WC, and adjacent is a bedroom. At the back of the house are two stores and a boiler room housing a Worcester boiler.

The block built, and timber boarded garage block, has a slate roof, and includes a garage with auto up and over door, workshop/store, further garage with two auto up and over doors, while upstairs is a floored loft and a games room.

The extensive gardens include a wooded area with a log store, lawns and copper beech trees at both entrances. There is a pergola, wooden decking adjacent to the sun room, so again ideal for entertaining, together with a gravelled and paved seating area, while a summer house (4m max x 2.6m max) has further decking and a store. Behind the house are some raised vegetable beds and further paving.
