Spectacular, modernised family home with panoramic views across Firth of Forth.
North Cassingray is a spacious, naturally bright and modern family home, built in 2006. The positioning and layout of the house has been thoughtfully considered to make the most of the jaw-dropping southerly views towards and across the Firth of Forth to East Lothian. The Angus coastline towards Carnoustie, and the Sidlaw hills beyond Dundee are also visible to the north from the first floor.
The owners have ensured the house offers strong energy efficiency credentials highlighted by its certified B EPC rating. There are sustainable sources including fifteen PV panels on the garage roof, a 6kW wind turbine situated to the side of the garden, and an air source heating system which was installed in 2022 and upgraded in 2024. All ground floor double glazed windows and French doors have been replaced, and there is fibre broadband to the property.
The ground floor living space is centred around a vaulted, double-height atrium, with large south facing windows providing the space with an abundance of natural light and beautiful views over the garden, as well as a bespoke oak staircase up to the first floor galleried landing. In the east end of the house, the superb kitchen / breakfast room opens up into the adjacent dining room; also in this wing is a home office, utility room and WC. The kitchen / breakfast room has patio doors which open onto the south-facing terrace which overlooks the garden. The kitchen has a central island with induction hob and breakfast bar, and other integrated appliances include an Everhot range cooker, wine fridge, coffee machine, Qettle boiling water tap, steam oven and combi microwave oven. Part-glazed double doors from the atrium open into the sitting room which also has patio doors out to the garden. A double-sided log burner is shared with the adjacent family room. A shower room next to the family room allows for it to be used as a ground floor bedroom, and it has a useful store cupboard.
There are five double bedrooms on the first floor, all of which have sensational south-facing views over the garden, the neighbouring farmland and across the Firth of Forth. The principal bedroom suite occupies most of the westernmost end of this level and has a balcony from which to take in the stunning view. There is a useful dressing area with fitted wardrobes, and an en-suite bathroom with separate shower cubicle. Adjacent is a further double bedroom with en-suite shower room. The three further double bedrooms lie at the east end of the house and share a family bathroom between them. There are useful store cupboards off the corridor.
The gardens at North Cassingray are beautifully established and extend to about 1.38 acres. The property has an excellent range of useful outhouses, including a double garage which sits to the front of the house, set off the extensive monobloc parking area. This has ladder access to a loft room above providing generous storage. Immediately behind it is a garden storehouse / workshop, with a separate utilities room to house the services. Behind this is an area for log storage.
The gardens are fully enclosed by stone walls and hedging. The immediate principal gardens wrap to the east, south and west of the house and are interspersed with a mix of mature and young trees and stocked flowerbeds. In front of the house are two terraces, one in front of the kitchen, and the other down a short flight of stone steps and partially surrounded by a stone wall overlooking the pond with fountain. These are lovely spaces for outdoor entertaining and barbecues while admiring the breathtaking views. In the southwest corner is an established kitchen garden with greenhouse, potting shed and polytunnel. There is also a children’s play area with treehouse and slide. A lovely rose garden with a mix of shrubs and trees sits to the north of the house, with a pergola and path leading through. A small orchard has recently been planted.
