Summary - Glenesk, Brechin, DD9 DD9 7YW
Converted 1876 former school with strong character
Set in the peaceful Angus Glens, this converted 1876 former school offers a spacious single-storey cottage with 164m2 (approximately 2,134 sq ft) of accommodation and sweeping, uninterrupted hill and valley views. The open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen is the former classroom and provides a dramatic central living space with a log burner, integrated appliances and patio doors out to the garden. A generous sunroom and study add flexible family space.
All three double bedrooms include fitted storage and the principal suite benefits from a dressing area and a large ensuite with underfloor heating. Practical features include oil central heating, double glazing, a double garage with electric door, private parking for several cars and just-under-one-acre mature gardens with decking, shed and a waterside stream.
This property is best for buyers seeking tranquillity, outdoor access and character rather than urban convenience. It sits in a remoter agricultural community with average mobile signal and very slow broadband speeds; the nearest services are in Edzell and Brechin. Energy performance is EPC E, and heating is oil-fuelled, which may mean higher running costs and future upgrade work to improve efficiency.
Buyers should note the property is served by a septic tank and an oil tank; routine maintenance and compliance checks will be the buyer’s responsibility. The location and plot size make this an excellent purchase for families who value space, privacy and countryside living, or for those seeking a character home with potential to tailor systems for modern efficiencies.
