Features & Description
Property Description
This impressive, architect-designed four-bedroom, two-bathroom detached residence boasts a prestigious suburban address, just 10 minutes stroll from Broughty Ferry Beach. Beautifully nestled amongst lush green gardens, it offers elevated views towards historic Broughty Castle and across the River Tay to Tentsmuir Forest. The versatile, generously proportioned interiors feature upside-down living and a first-floor balcony to make the most of the south-facing aspect and stunning scenery. A long, secure driveway makes a sweeping approach to the home, where an integral double garage provides extra parking.
An inviting porch shelters the front entrance, which opens into a light-filled reception hall on the upper floor. It is an uplifting space with stylish carpeting and an elegant galleried stairwell. Access is provided to useful storage, a utility room, a cloakroom, two reception rooms, and a dine-in kitchen. The three communal living spaces face south toward the river, as does the seating balcony they all have access to. The carpeted living room includes decorative fireplace with gas supply, while the formal dining room is a cosy family space, continuing the statement carpeting from the hall.
A wide bow window in the kitchen provides a bright dining alcove and panoramic vistas. The kitchen’s tasteful fitted cabinetry has an enduring classical design and is accompanied by a central island with an induction hob and hood, plus ample illuminated workspace. Additional integrated appliances include an eye-level double oven, a fridge, and a dishwasher. A utility room off the hall with external access discreetly houses a freestanding washing machine and dryer, with space for further white goods if required.
Tucked away to one end of the first floor is a luxurious principal suite featuring a large bedroom with a scenic dual-aspect outlook, a fitted dressing room, and a super-stylish en-suite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms (with fitted storage) are located on ground level, accessible from the large lower hall. All three bedrooms have an impressive footprint, carpeted for optimum comfort.
Striking tartan carpeting in the lower hall continues into an adjoining study (or fourth double bedroom), benefiting from a handy external entrance.
The hall cloakroom provides a convenient WC, while the contemporary bathroom in the principal suite includes a bath and a walk-in rainfall shower. On the ground floor, there is a second bathroom with a separate bath and shower.
The house is surrounded by wraparound gardens, with swathes of lawn bordered by verdant shrubbery and mature trees. This is a true haven for outdoor relaxation, with captivating views, a sunny aspect, and reassuring security for children and pets.
Multiple vehicles can be accommodated on the large, gated driveway and within a double garage accessible from the interior.
Some four miles east of Dundee on the north bank of the Firth of Tay, Broughty Ferry promises the best of both worlds: a coastal lifestyle with the vibrant city on its doorstep. During the Industrial Revolution, when Dundee established its wealth in ‘jute, jam and journalism’, the former fishing and whaling village of Broughty Ferry was transformed into one of the most affluent suburbs in Europe, which accounts for its rich stock of grand detached villas and mansion houses. The seaside resort remains a popular tourist attraction today, with visitors drawn to its long, sandy beach and esplanade, 15th-century Broughty Castle, and its array of fashionable eating and drinking spots. Broughty Ferry enjoys all the local amenities you would expect of a small town, which are supplemented, of course, with world-class shopping, culture, and heritage in Dundee. The UK’s first UNESCO City of Design, Dundee was also named Best Place to Live in Scotland 2019 by The Sunday Times. In addition to excellent road (and public bus) links for local and national travel, Broughty Ferry station operates regular services to Dundee and further afield to Aberdeen, Arbroath, and Edinburgh. Daily flights and direct trains to London are also available from Dundee Airport and Dundee train station, respectively. Broughty Ferry offers education at all levels, with nursery schools, three primary schools, and a secondary school. Independent schooling and childcare options are also available nearby, including the prestigious High School of Dundee.
