Spacious and conveniently located country house with self-contained annexe. Barns of Craig Farmhouse is an exceptional country home, which is conveniently located close to Montrose. With spacious and well presented accommodation it is a very flexible house, with an interlinking annexe which is perfect for multi-generational living or as a holiday let, or which could be incorporated into the main body of the house. Situated close to the coast, there are lovely views to the North Sea and over Montrose Basin from upstairs. As the name suggests, the property is a former farmhouse. The nearby steading has been sympathetically converted into houses, so it is one of a group of properties, but sits to the front so enjoys uninterrupted views out over its own gardens and grounds and on to agricultural land and the sea beyond. It is an attractive and imposing stone built house with a slate roof, which dates from the early 20th century. Other than the boot room, the house is double glazed and benefits from solar panels which reduce running costs. While modernised the house still retains original features such as cornices in the hallways, reception rooms (including in the annexe), kitchen and bedrooms. Electric gates with stone gate piers, open to the private driveway leading up to the front of the house, and which continues on round to a courtyard at the rear. A front entrance porch has a tiled floor while an outer hall has wooden flooring. The welcoming hallway has a dado rail, wooden flooring and an elegant staircase to the first floor, along with an understairs cupboard and a connecting door to the annexe. Arranged off the hallway is the principal accommodation including a fine drawing room with a large bay window overlooking the garden, dado rail, open fireplace and wooden flooring. The double aspect dining room also has a dado rail and wooden flooring, as does the living room which also has picture windows looking to the garden and a fireplace with a wood burning stove. There is a useful cloakroom with wash basin with vanity unit and WC. A well proportioned kitchen has fitted units with wooden worktops and tiled splashbacks.
