Summary - OLD POST OFFICE, KIRRIEMUIR, CORTACHY DD8 4QN
4 bed 2 bath Cottage
Characterful 1890 cottage with large garden — ideal for family renovation project.
4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in traditional two-storey stone cottage
Set at the foot of the Angus Glens, this former village Post Office (c.1890) is a traditional two-storey stone cottage with period features and a secluded, wooded plot. The house offers practical family accommodation over two floors: ground-floor living room with open fire, kitchen/diner, two ground-floor bedrooms plus study, and two upstairs bedrooms. The internal area is modest (about 106 sqm / 1,141 sqft) but laid out for flexible use.
The large, sloping garden with mature trees provides privacy and a strong countryside aspect — ideal for outdoor family life, gardening or creating terraces. The immediate setting is peaceful and rural, with Kirriemuir a short drive away for shops, schools and local amenities.
Important: the property requires renovation throughout. Mechanical, electrical and cosmetic upgrades are needed to bring the house up to modern standards. Services are average (mobile and broadband), and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect access to some local services and resale considerations.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking character and scope to create a bespoke family home in a remote, scenic location. It is offered freehold with no flood risk, but purchasers should budget for comprehensive refurbishment and factor in rural-service limitations.
