Description

Description

The Auld Manse is a Six-Bedroom Villa offering Three Public Rooms and a wealth of period character. Situated in the charming coastal town of Arbroath, Angus, on the North Sea coast, it lies approximately 16 miles east-northeast of Dundee and 45 miles south-southwest of Aberdeen.

Set over two floors and extending to 285 m², this property offers an appealing opportunity for renovation. Built in 1894 to accommodate the minister of Knox’s Free Church, it remained in church ownership until the turn of the century, when it was purchased by the current owners.

The ground-floor accommodation comprises a reception hall, a formal dining room and a separate reception lounge. Both the dining room and lounge have feature fireplaces and wood-panelled bay windows that fill the rooms with natural light. A bedroom and a kitchen complete this part of the property. The single-storey extension provides a sitting room, utility room and cloakroom with WC.

Upstairs, a split-level gallery landing leads to five bedrooms, an en suite and a family bathroom.

The property retains an abundance of original features include traditional high ceilings, ceiling roses, ornate cornicing, deep skirting boards with natural wood finishes, period fireplaces in many rooms and a balustraded staircase.

The property benefits from gas central heating and PVC casement-style double-glazed windows. Outside, garden grounds extend to the front, side and rear, complemented by a tandem-style double garage.

Arbroath offers an attractive coastal setting, with an old harbour, long sandy beaches and striking sandstone cliffs stretching out on either side of the town. Arbroath Abbey, near the town centre, is a popular choice for visitors. The town’s most famous product is the Arbroath Smokie , first created in the village of Auchmithie. Made from line-caught haddock and smoke-cured over smouldering oak chips, it is still produced in several family-run smokehouses around the harbour.

The town also offers a range of recreational and sports facilities, including Arbroath Sports Centre.

Properties of this character rarely come to the market. This is a rare chance to modernise and personalise a property of considerable size and character while enhancing its original features.

Viewing is highly recommended.
