Perth, known as the “Fair City”, can be reached in about an hour’s journey by car to the south west with national retailers, banks restaurants, concert hall, theatre, cinema, railway station, leisure centre and ice rink. Angus offers a breadth of recreational opportunities and the property is ideally placed to make the most this vibrant county has to offer. The nearby Angus Glens provide a myriad of walking and cycling trails and a number of Munros all within easy reach.

Description

The Old Station House formerly served nearby Glamis Railway Station, which closed in 1956. The property has an impressive façade with a lovely outlook in a westerly direction over countryside. The property was purchased by the current owners in 2021, who have since carried out a comprehensive upgrade of the house including adding a utility room extension and replacing all the windows with CR Smith double glazed windows. In addition, the kitchen / family room has been opened up to create a lovely open plan space with a newly fitted kitchen and a lovey aspect with glazed doors opening out to a terrace. New flooring has been fitted through the ground floor. Situated off the hallway is a newly installed shower room with ‘rain shower’ system and seat for added luxury. The property has been well maintained and also benefits from a newly installed oil-fired boiler and a newly fitted electric fuse box. The newly upgraded front porch is a real focal point of the house and it incorporates the original pan window. The septic tank was replaced within the past 10 years.
