Set on one of Broughty Ferry’s most prestigious streets, this substantial upper conversion offers over 2,100 sq ft of flexible family living. The home occupies the full first floor and part of the attic of a 'B' listed Victorian villa, retaining high ceilings, decorative cornicing, original fireplaces and a striking stained glass window. Two generous reception rooms, a wide central hallway arranged as a dining area, and a modern kitchen provide space for entertaining and day-to-day family life.
Practical benefits include a private entrance, south-facing front garden, private garage and rear parking space, plus partial rooftop views toward the River Tay. The property is a short walk from the beach, good schools, Broughty Ferry station and the town centre — an easy location for family routines and coastal leisure. Broadband speeds are reported fast and there is no recorded flood risk.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status. The 'B' listing will restrict alterations and may complicate planning or refurbishment works; specialist consent will be needed for many changes. The wider area is classified with pockets of high deprivation despite this street’s affluent character, and council tax is moderate. These are factual points to weigh against the property’s generous space and period character.
This is a rare opportunity for a family seeking a large, characterful home close to the shore, who value original period detail and are comfortable working within the constraints of a listed building. For those wanting more modernisation or major reconfiguration, factor in the time and cost of listed-building consents.
