Hip-hip array for Angus
We swoop down on the historic county to look over a trio of old properties radically restored to offer buyers something refreshingly new
Kelly Castle, Arbirlot, Abroath Offers over £2.3m
What is it? A striking fortified tower house, which mostly dates from the 16th Century and was lovingly restored by its current owners in 2009. The offering benefits from the addition of a two-bedroom estate manager’s apartment.
Where is it? Overlooking the South Angus seaside farmlands on the outskirts of Arbroath. The amenities and cultural delights of Dundee are a half-hour drive south.
Interior Period features are found throughout Kelly Castle’s 10,600sq ft of interiors, which are spread over five storeys. There are many reception rooms, including a wine cellar, bar, snooker room, cinema, library, plus five bedrooms.
