For Sale6 Bedroom House in Langlands, 95 Glamis Road, Forfar, Angus, DD8 1DP£650,000

Stunning early 20th century townhouse, with lovely, enclosed and very private gardens. Langlands is a stunning townhouse. It is a most elegant example of a 1920's townhouse, built in an English 17th century classical revival style. It is harled with contrasting brick details and red clay tiled roof, with imposing brick chimneys, so reminiscent of its era. Occupying a very screened and private site, the house is listed Category B and has Arts and Crafts features and still retains much of its original character. The house was acquired by the sellers in 2005 who have since undertaken an ambitious programme of works. In 2008 a fabulous orangery extension was added linking the kitchen to the gardens. The kitchen was transformed with newly fitted solid wood kitchen and creation of walk in larder. The adjoining ground floor bedrooms and bathroom were also extended and refurbished. The second floor bedrooms were also remodelled, which included the installation of a new shower room, and the bathroom and ensuite at first floor level were fully refurbished. A new central heating system was installed, with a new boiler fitted as recently as 2022. In 2011 the front porch was enclosed. Heritage leaded double glazing has also been installed with care being taken to preserve the original character of the property.
