Fabulous country house with stunning views, at the foot of an Angus glen.
Airlie House is a fabulous country house occupying a most enviable position with stunning and far reaching views over Strathmore to the Sidlaw Hills, and behind into the glens. The setting is spectacular. Originally a row of three estate cottages, the property was converted into one house and extended in the 1990s and benefited from further improvements in 2015, when the kitchen was refurbished. It is now a most comfortable house with good sized reception rooms and two downstairs bedroom suites, while upstairs are four further bedrooms and two additional bathrooms. As such it is an ideal family home, which is perfect for entertaining, or would also make a gorgeous holiday home, given its position. Many of the rooms face south benefitting from the views. It is an attractive stone built house, with a slate roof, is double glazed and has extensive and enclosed gardens of some 2.6acres.
A gravelled drive leads to a courtyard with two garages at the back of the house. The entrance door opens to a part timber-lined hall with two walk in cupboards. A glazed door, allowing plenty of light and making the most of the views, opens to a conservatory with stone flag floor. To one side of the hall is the principal bedroom suite with a bedroom with bay window, fireplace and wardrobe, while a dressing room/additional bedroom has a walk in wardrobe, and a bathroom with a bath, washbasin, shower and separate WC. To the other side is a split-level inner hall with walk in cupboard, bookshelves and a WC with washbasin. The charming drawing room has a fireplace at either end, and a bay window with window seat. Beyond is the dining room, again with a fireplace, and a study with French doors to the garden. Bedroom 2 has a fireplace and a dressing room/en suite with walk in and shelved cupboards, washbasin with vanity unit, bath and separate WC. There is a hatch with attic ladder to a useful floored loft. The well equipped dining kitchen has fitted wooden units with granite worktops, Siemens induction hob, Blomberg dishwasher, sink with waste disposal, Siemens double oven/grill, Liebherr fridge, together with wooden flooring and ample space for informal dining. Off the kitchen are cupboards including a larder, one with plumbing for a washing machine, and a back entrance hallway.
A concealed door from the dining room opens to stairs up to the first floor landing with storage cupboards. There are four further bedrooms, two bathrooms and a storeroom. Bedroom 3 has a wardrobe and under eaves cupboards, while bedroom 5 has walk in cupboards and under eaves cupboards. Bedroom 6 has a wardrobe.
Outside by the courtyard are two garages with up and over doors and a woodstore. The extensive gardens, enclosed by hedges and fencing, are mainly down to lawn with strategically placed seating areas. To one side of the house is a rose arbour, while in front are delightful paved and grass terraces, ideal seating areas for the views. On the other side is a vegetable garden with a greenhouse. There is also a pond.
