Home Report £825,000 vs asking £770,000; EPC C
Angus House is a striking c.1907 Arts & Crafts detached house in the heart of Edzell, extensively refurbished and extended to create flexible, high-quality family accommodation across 6,056 sq ft. The recent architect-led renovation replaced services (rewiring, replumbing, insulation), added underfloor heating, double glazing and a timber-clad wing, so the interior feels thoroughly modern while retaining period stonework, cornicing and high ceilings. A Home Report valuation of £825,000 sits above the current asking price of £770,000.
The ground floor is arranged for entertaining and family life with an open-plan kitchen/family room, sun room, formal reception rooms, and a central gaming room beneath a galleried landing. High-spec fittings include a Hacker kitchen, Miele and NEFF appliances, Porcelanosa tiling, an oak staircase and integrated Sonos system. The principal suite plus multiple en suites and a self-contained one-bedroom annexe (currently used as a gym) offer adaptable sleeping accommodation for guests or staff.
Outside there are extensive outbuildings: a large garage block with workshop, further garages, floored loft and games room, plus private established gardens, decking, pergola, summerhouse and raised vegetable beds on a plot of about 1.3 acres. The village location gives quick access to Angus glens, local shops, a primary school, leisure facilities and the A90 to Dundee and Aberdeen.
Practical considerations: council tax is high (Band H) and the size and scope of the property mean ongoing maintenance and running costs will be significant. The annexe currently has a separate entrance and would need reconfiguration and any necessary consents to integrate fully. Broadband speeds are average despite excellent mobile signal. Buyers should satisfy themselves on service details, consents and high-level upkeep before purchase.
