Set just outside Tannadice, 1 & 2 Nether Balgillo Farm Cottages offer two adjoining stone cottages in a secluded agricultural setting, approximately six miles from Forfar and within commuting distance of Dundee via the A90. The site includes generous rear garden ground and wide open views across farmland — a clear draw for buyers seeking privacy and rural character.
Both cottages require full renovation and are offered as a redevelopment opportunity. Services reported are mains water and electricity with a septic tank; no mains sewer connection is confirmed. Vehicular access is only from the public road to the east and there is no right of access over the northern farm track, which will influence layouts and construction logistics.
This property suits developers, investors or an experienced private buyer planning a countryside conversion. Practical drawbacks are material: the cottages need complete refurbishment, broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, and tenure is not specified. The site sits in a remote, very deprived area which may affect resale timing and local demand.
Priced at £140,000 for the pair (approximately 1,173 sq ft overall), the opportunities are straightforward: restore the period stonework and slate roofs, reconfigure internal layouts within the single-storey footprint, and capitalise on the large garden and scenic outlook. Buyers should budget for full renovation costs, septic management, and potential access works.
