Summary - West Mains of Hedderwick, Montrose, DD10 9EG DD10 9EG
2.88 acres paddock included; total 3.68 acres with mature gardens
Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting, this 1890s single-storey cottage sits within 3.68 acres of garden and paddock, with sweeping country and distant sea views. The plot includes 2.88 acres of paddock land suitable for grazing or amenity use, a generous chip-stone driveway with extensive parking and a useful outbuilding. The cottage retains period character and straightforward accommodation: lounge, dining room, kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom.
Practical positives include a newly fitted oil boiler (2022) and approved planning consent (ref 24/00065/FULL) to extend and transform the property into a contemporary family home with additional bedrooms, open-plan living and provision for an air-source heat pump. For buyers seeking space and scope, the permission materially increases the site’s potential and can significantly improve running costs and comfort if implemented.
The house will require a degree of modernisation. Windows are single-glazed timber casements and the kitchen and bathrooms are basic; the property is sold as seen. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average. The paddock is sold with a legal restriction limiting use to amenity, grazing or agricultural purposes — not for development — and the local area is classified as very deprived, which may affect services and long-term resale dynamics.
This cottage will suit buyers who value privacy, equestrian or small-holding potential and who are prepared to invest in upgrading. It offers an unusual combination of sizeable land, sea views and a deliverable planning permission — a realistic project for a family, hobby farmer or buyer wanting a countryside retreat with clear scope to create a much larger, energy-efficient home.
