East Mains HouseHigh Street, Edzell, Angus, DD9 7TA

East Mains House is a most attractive house, located at the northern end of Edzell, and is part of a grouping of properties on the edge of the village. A former farmhouse on a local estate, it is believed to date from the late 19th century, and occupies an enviable position, with views east to agricultural land and the trees adjacent to the River North Esk, yet is just moments away from the shops on the High Street and close to the school and medical centre. The house was acquired by the sellers in 2013 who then set about an ambitious programme of further renovations and refurbishment, while at the same time preserving and enhancing much of the original character of the house. These works included refurbishing the bathrooms in 2015, and the kitchen in about 2018. New bespoke double glazing was installed in 2022. The house is now beautifully presented and perfectly blends the old with the new. In addition a ground floor en suite was installed and a magnificent summer house was erected in 2021 in the garden which includes covered decking and a garden room/studio. An annexe was built to the rear in 2015 which encompasses a double garage, laundry/utility and shower room downstairs, with a large living or games room above. This greatly enhances the flexibility of the property. Other works in the house included new flooring. There are new bespoke window shutters in the sitting room, all the bedrooms, kitchen and landing. Engineered wooden flooring has been laid in the sitting room, bar and bedroom 2. There are cornices in bedrooms 1, 3 and 4. Downstairs there are two bedrooms, one currently used as an office, with a further two bedrooms upstairs, so the house offers great versatility.
