General Description
Blending exquisite period details with modern design, this remarkable four-bedroom detached stonebuilt farmhouse, set within mature gardens, offers a rare opportunity for luxurious family living just outside Forfar. Approached via a sweeping gated gravel driveway, the front door opens into an entrance foyer, leading to an impressive hallway adorned with original flagstone flooring. To the left, an elegant triple-aspect living room exudes sophistication, featuring sash-and-case windows with working shutters, parquet flooring, intricate cornicing, and a striking open fireplace with ornate detailing. This beautifully decorated space is ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. At the rear of the hallway, a light-filled south-west-facing snug provides a warm and inviting retreat. With handsome wooden flooring, built-in cabinetry, sash-and-case windows, and a charming log-burning stove, it is perfectly suited to family life. Opposite and passing a guest WC, a spacious dining room flows seamlessly into the stunning kitchen, which also provides access to a rear vestibule, cold store, and a generous utility room with custom-made storage. Combining contemporary design and timeless farmhouse charm, the kitchen boasts bespoke soft-grey cabinetry, white stone worktops, and a metro-tiled splashback. High-spec MIELE appliances, including an American-style fridge/freezer, oven, coffee machine, and a desirable AGA, elevate the space further. A central island offers comfortable space for informal dining. Returning to the hallway, a carpeted staircase with an oak banister lying beneath a show-stopping chandelier leads to the first-floor landing. Spacious and light, it showcases high ceilings and intricate cornicing. The magnificent principal double bedroom is south-east facing and provides a luxurious retreat, complete with a log-burning stove, plush carpeting, and serene décor. Its indulgent en-suite bathroom is a showpiece of design, featuring wood panelling, grey metro tiles, and large porcelain floor tiles. A freestanding Burlington roll-top bath takes centre stage, accompanied by a rainfall shower, towel radiator, WC, and a marble-topped vanity with a washbasin. Three additional double bedrooms, all bright and airy with captivating views, complete the upstairs layout. These bedrooms share access to a spa-like shower room, perfectly complementing the home’s refined aesthetic.
