A handsome home in Angus

Two houses in the village of Edzell have been combined into a splendid home in easy reach of Dundee, Aberdeen and the Angus Glens, says Jack McKeown

Sitting towards the far end of Edzell, Lindsay House is a short walk from the village’s park, primary school, shops and cafes.

Built in the Victorian era, it’s thought Lindsay House was originally two properties that were later combined into one.

For a time the building was a bank premises, its high ceilings and large rooms making it ideal for such purpose.

Its current owners have fully refurbished it into a fine family home.

The reception hall retains its original tiled floor and sweeping staircase.

The living room has oak flooring, bay window and a wood burning stove in the fireplace recess.

A separate sitting room has its own bay window and fireplace, and a door into the dining room.

A former fireplace in the kitchen is now occupied by a range cooker. The spacious dining kitchen has a door out into the garden. A utility room and shower room complete the downstairs.

On the first floor are five double bedrooms, family bathroom and a shower room. The master bedroom has its own door into the family bathroom.

The attic has been converted into a large room that can be used as a playroom, cinema room or a sixth bedroom.

The garden has an area of decking, a Wendy house and a seated arbour made of timber. There’s also an attached garage.
