KirkhillLintrathen, By Kirriemuir, Angus, DD8 5JH

Kirkhill is an attractive small country house in a pretty location, which dates from 1995. It was built on the site of a manse from the 1960's, which replaced the original manse. Designed for the sellers family as a retirement home, it has also until recently been let for a couple of years. As such, as well as being a fine family home, it could be used as a holiday cottage, given its location close to Lintrathen Loch at the foot of the Angus hills. An attached conservatory, accessed from outside, was added in about 2000. While the house could benefit from some upgrading, the en suite was refurbished in about 2019 and the kitchen a year later. With an attic room and walkin floored roof space, there is considerable scope for creating additional accommodation, if wanted, subject to any necessary consents. The pretty gardens extend to some 0.5 acres and are well stocked with species rhododendrons and azaleas. When initially laid out at the same time as the house was built, the gardens were opened for charity under the auspices of Scotland's Garden Scheme. The house is harled with a slate roof and is fully double glazed. It sits well within its own gardens and is private and sheltered. It has traditional features such as cornicing in the hallway and reception rooms.

Gates open onto tarred parking adjacent to the house. A front door opens to a vestibule with an inner door to a welcoming hallway with a shelved cupboard off. A well-proportioned and double aspect sitting room has a bay window with window seat overlooking the garden, an open fireplace with mantle, and shelves with cupboard below. A study, which could be a further bedroom, looks out into the conservatory. Beyond are bedrooms 1 and 2, while bedroom 3 is also double aspect and has a wardrobe, a dressing room and an en suite with shower, washbasin and WC. A family bathroom has a bath, washbasin and WC. The spacious dining kitchen has fitted units with a Lamona Ceramic hob, oven and extractor, together with a sink. There is ample space for dining. Adjacent is a utility room with fitted units with a sink, plumbing for a washing machine, Worcester oil fired boiler, clothes pulley, back door and a separate WC with washbasin. There is a hatch in the hallway with an attic ladder to the attic room and walk in floored roof space.

Outside, there is a conservatory attached to the front of the house. To the side is a garage with power and light, and with an attached lean to store (6.2m x 2.9 m approx.). The pretty and well-stocked garden surrounds the house and also has lawns, shrub borders and trees, together with a former hen run and greenhouse.
