Traditional, conveniently located farmhouse, with considerable appeal.
Upper Ballunie Farmhouse is an attractive 19th century country house, which is stone built with a slate roof. Originally a farmhouse for one of the farms on a local estate, it was until recently let, but is now surplus to requirements. It has spacious and well proportioned accommodation, arranged over three floors. Facing south it looks out over the surrounding agricultural land. It sits conveniently just to the north of the Sidlaw Hills and while it could benefit from some upgrading, it still retains much period character, with features such as cornices in the hallway, reception rooms, landing and first floor bedrooms still intact.
A gate opens to the garden with a drive to gravelled parking at the front of the house, and continues to a further gate to the side. A front door from the garden opens to a welcoming hallway with an attractive staircase to the first floor. To one side is a double aspect sitting room with a tiled fireplace with wooden mantel, and display shelves. One the other side is a living room, again double aspect, and with a tiled fireplace and two wall lights. Off this is a useful understair walk in store. The kitchen has fitted units, a two oven AGA and houses a Worcester Danesmoor 18/25 boiler. There is ample space for dining. Off the kitchen is a utility room with units with a sink and plumbing for a washing machine. A back hall has a tiled floor, rear entrance door and a sink, while a downstairs shower room has a washbasin and WC.
The staircase leads up to a landing with an understair cupboard. Bedroom one is double aspect with display shelves. Bedroom two has a washbasin and a wardrobe. A part timber-lined bathroom has a bath, washbasin and WC, while Bedroom three also has a washbasin as well as a shelved cupboard. Stairs lead up to the second floor where there are shelved cupboards. Bedroom four has fitted units and is double glazed. Bedroom five also benefits from double glazing.
The garden is mainly in grass. There are some fine trees including a copper beech and a monkey puzzle. Beyond a hedge is a drying green and what could be a lovely wildlife area. In total the property extends to some 0.61 acres.
There is further parking at the rear along with a range of stone built outbuildings with a slate roof, including a garage, former laundry and a store.
