Set just off the road to Lunan Bay, Oak Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached retreat that combines coastal access with sweeping countryside views. The property’s flexible layout and sizeable wrap-around garden present clear options for a holiday-let conversion, rental income, or modest extension/garage addition. Its location — under two miles from Inverkeilor and six miles from Arbroath — balances tranquillity with everyday convenience.
Inside, the home offers a traditional cottage arrangement across one main level with an attic storage space. A cosy lounge with a focal electric fire and a separate dining room with French doors frames the outlook and garden access. The galley kitchen is functional and could be reconfigured to include a small dining area. Two of the three rooms are configured as bedrooms; the smallest includes a pull-down double bed that remains in the sale. The shower room is spacious and could accommodate a bath if desired.
Outside is a standout feature: extensive wrap-around gardens with gravel driveway parking and multiple patio spots. There is clear scope to add a garage or extend (subject to consents). Practicalities to note include an above-ground gas tank in the front garden and a shared access road and septic tank with neighbouring cottages — buyers should allow for future servicing or alteration costs. Broadband speeds are reported very slow, which will affect remote-working guests or tenants.
For investors or buyers seeking a holiday home, the property’s proximity to Lunan Bay, panoramic rural views, and an assessed home report value slightly above the asking price make it attractive. Conversely, the local area is classified as very deprived, and some practical updates (broadband, possible landscaping or tank burial) may be needed to maximise rental demand or long-term resale value.
