Enjoy a luxurious country life in breath-taking rural surroundings at The Steading: a truly unique four-bedroom detached house with an approximate 2.3-acre plot and a wealth of outstanding features.

The Steading covers over 5220 square feet providing abundan accommodation, as well as approximately 2.3 acres of garden grounds. Impressively designed, this home combines traditional character with flawless contemporary appeal the current owners having completed significant work on the poperty. It further boasts multiple reception areas, two kitchens, four large bedrooms, two studies, and high-spec bathroom facilities, alongside lots of standout features, original highlights, and potential for a self-contained annexe.

Set in an elevated position amongst the spectacular Angus countryside with panoramic views at every turn, it enjoys a real sense of the remote while remaining well-connected to neighbouring towns and villages.

The home’s reception hall knows how to make an entrance. Lined with floor-to-ceiling windows, it brings the magnificent front garden inside, creating an inspired introduction. Further along, there is practical cloak storage and a WC as well.

Spanning 463 square feet and with a double-height ceiling, the living room exemplifies the property’s striking design principals. It offers exceptional space and style, enjoying exposed stonework and neutral decoration – a sophisticated aesthetic found in many rooms. A log burner brings additional cosiness, while an original plaster artwork by the current owner (beautifully depicting a cherry blossom tree) adds further charm. From here, steps lead up to open archways which flow through to the dining room. Original stonework brings rustic charm to this expansive space, as a custom-made (hand-crafted) bar forms another highlight in a home filled with distinctive features.

Additionally, there is a library, offering a quiet retreat for book lovers. It boasts a double-height ceiling and French doors to the garden, with further glazing above to capture the imagination and the views beyond.

In a raised position gazing out across the living area, the breakfasting kitchen enjoys a sociable arrangement and a substantial footprint. It features a central island with a breakfast bar and polished concrete worktop, alongside abundant cabinetry in an on-trend hue and additional wooden work surfaces. It is a sumptuous design that promises outstanding practicality and enduring style, coming complete with French doors to outside for summer get-togethers.

Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, an electric range cooker, a fridge/freezer, and an integrated dishwasher to be included in the sale.

Occupying the entire first floor with an exquisite mezzanine-style layout that overlooks the library, the principal suite is an astounding space. This large, dual-aspect bedroom includes a generous four-piece en-suite bathroom and a long dressing room with wall-to-wall wardrobes and fitted drawers.

The principal suite even has a meditative study with a skylight and internal balcony, which challenges the library as The Steading’s most tranquil space. Known as the ‘zen room,’ it more than lives up to its namesake.

On the ground floor, the three remaining double bedrooms are all large, light-filled spaces that maintain the impeccable standards. Bedrooms two and three share a modern Jack-and-Jill en-suite shower room, while bedroom four and another study beside the library provide further flexibility.

The Steading has a neat arrangement of rooms (just off the breakfasting kitchen) which offer superb potential for a self-contained annexe. These include a sunroom with full-height windows, a large studio (currently used for storage and creative pursuits), a sizeable back kitchen, and a two-piece shower room. Using the studio as an open-plan reception area and bedroom, it would be easy to make this cluster of rooms into private accommodation for independent family members or the holiday rental market.

In addition to the WC, two en-suites, and shower room, this property also boasts a high-specification family bathroom conveniently located beside bedroom four. With premium tile work and a five-piece suite, this bathroom offers style and luxury. It features twin washbasins, a toilet, a towel radiator, a double-size shower cubicle, and a deep-soak freestanding bath with a handheld shower.

The Steading has underfloor heating throughout the ground level, triple-glazed windows with some double glazing, and solar-panelled roofing for efficient electricity and hot water.

Externally, the home’s grounds extend to around 2.3 acres, incorporating beautiful, mature gardens, sweeping lawns, an established woodland, and more than enough space to raise livestock. Decked areas also allow for comfortable alfresco dining and sun worshipping, set amongst the scenic backdrop of the patchwork countryside and rolling hills, with uninterrupted views extending for miles up to The Cairngorms. Additional features accessible from outside include a large store with a plant room, a private gym, a carport, and a private driveway offering ample parking space.
