Period family home at foot of Angus Glens

Lindsay House may be mid-Victorian but the interior is a stunning combination of period high ceilings and modern style, perfect for family life.

Found in the village of Edzell which is in good commuting distance for Aberdeen, this beautiful property was originally two homes before renovations saw it turned into the ultimate pad.

If you want to escape the buzz of the city and own a wonderful period property, Lindsay House may just be the answer and the price tag even comes in at under half a million.

Records show that this family home was once used as a bank, and it is easy to imagine customers once waiting patiently in the spacious rooms. Even the stairs in the hallway are impressive and there is the original decorative tiled floor and sweeping staircase. There are three reception rooms on the first floor so you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to entertaining guests.

The living room is floored in oak and has a bay window plus fireplace housing a wood burning stove; a separate sitting room, also with a bay window with shutters, has its own open fireplace.

There is an interlinking door into the formal dining room which again has an oak floor.

The fully fitted breakfasting kitchen is particularly stylish, with elongated contemporary high gloss cream cabinets and a range cooker set into an alcove which was once a fireplace.

With plenty of space for relaxed dining and a door out to the garden, this is a light and airy room.

A well equipped utility room and shower room complete the ground floor. The fine staircase with cast iron balustrades leads to the first floor where five bedrooms are situated.

The master bedroom has a private door into the modern family bathroom, which is shared, along with a luxurious shower room, by four other double bedrooms. Stairs lead up to an attic room which makes a useful office, playroom or sixth bedroom.

There is a substantial raised decking area outside for summer entertaining or simply enjoying the garden which includes lawn, trees and shrubs, along with a Wendy house and delightful wooden seated arbour.

There is a garage attached to the house.
