Craichie Mains Cottage is a traditional three-bedroom rural home set within mature, easily maintained gardens and surrounded by farmland. The cottage feels homely with a spacious sitting room centred on a working coal fire and a practical kitchen/diner opening to the rear garden — an appealing layout for family life or countryside living.
The property benefits from double glazing, oil central heating and useful storage plus three external outhouses that provide laundry and additional storage options. It sits on a bus route to Forfar and Arbroath and lies within easy commuting distance of the A90, while Forfar provides schools, shops and leisure facilities including a six-lane pool.
Practical considerations: the EPC rating is E and some parts of the house and exterior appear dated and will benefit from updating. There is a single family bathroom and the property is offered freehold — buyers should factor in potential refurbishment costs and ongoing oil-heating maintenance.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a quiet rural lifestyle with immediate outdoor space and renovation potential. It offers comfortable living now with scope to personalise and improve energy efficiency over time.
