This detached stone cottage, formerly the village Old Post Office (c.1890), sits at the foot of the Angus Glens and offers authentic period character with dressed stone surrounds and multiple chimneys. The house provides flexible family accommodation over two floors: living room with open fire, kitchen/diner, two ground-floor bedrooms plus study, and two first-floor bedrooms, together with two bathrooms. The internal floor area is approximately 106 m² (1,141 sq ft). The property requires comprehensive modernisation throughout, making it suitable for buyers wanting to create a customised home while retaining original features. Services and finishes are dated; prospective purchasers should allow budget for upgrading heating, electrics, and general refurbishment. The plot is a standout asset: a substantial, sloping garden with mature trees, established planting, stone paths and terraces, offering privacy, woodland aspect and scope for landscaping, outdoor living or a productive garden. Mobile and broadband are average; the location is rural and more remote, with essential amenities and schools in nearby Kirriemuir. This cottage suits families seeking a peaceful country lifestyle with renovation potential and generous outdoor space. It also appeals to buyers who appreciate period masonry and wish to invest time and budget into a sympathetic restoration. Note the local area is classified as very deprived and the overall internal size is medium; ensure suitability before viewing.
