A wonderful opportunity to acquire a traditional country property set within spacious garden ground and with quite spectacular views across many miles of countryside from it’s elevated position. From the hillside where Grieves House sits, it is possible to see all the way to the sea and Scurdyness Lighthouse at Montrose. Grieve’s House itself has been upgraded over the years, has double glazing and central heating and offers comfortable accommodation over two floors, with plenty of character and traditional features. All of the rooms, with the exception of the Kitchen, enjoy the stunning views to the front of the property.
Cattleman’s Cottage will be of great interest to potential purchasers. While currently used as a substantial garage and workshop, it offers a variety of uses or development opportunities.
Both properties are set within a large area of ground and also offer excellent outdoor living space with the lawned area to the front, a log cabin with decked verandah to the rear and shed with covered barbecue area.
