Living side by side in Arbroath

A substantial semi-detached house in Arbroath has one major quirk – its almost identical neighbouring home is also on the market. sees double in the Angus town

Number 14 Rosemount Road in Arbroath is a handsome semidetached villa. Built in a traditional Victorian style, it has bay windows, thick stone walls and a slate roof.

What makes it unusual is its virtually identical neighbouring property, Number 16, has been put on the market at the same time.

Both properties have been sympathetically modernised, retaining their traditional features while bringing the interiors up to date.

On sale for £250,000 each, the homes are mirror images of each other internally, and have been renovated in a very similar style. Both have semiopen plan lounge and kitchens, with large bay windows looking to the front, and a window and back door to the rear.

Off the kitchen is a utility room with sink and laundry facilities. A cloakroom completes the downstairs accommodation. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom has a bay window and an en suite.

The properties have front and rear gardens, and are situated between Arbroath Infirmary and the town’s High Common.

With both homes virtually identical it means buyers needn’t worry if they miss out on one of them.
