The Ghenty is a substantial, beautifully presented country house set at the foot of the Angus hills with extensive grounds and genuine equestrian facilities. The original stone steading was sensitively converted and, more recently, extended to include a self-contained one‑bed apartment above a four‑car garage — ideal for holiday letting, multi‑generation living, or staff/visitor accommodation. The property sits in about 2.8 acres incorporating sheltered gardens, a fenced paddock and a small wooden stable block with two loose boxes.
Internally the house feels modern despite its period shell: major works during the original conversion included re-roofing, new floors, rewiring and replumbing. Principal rooms are generous, with high-quality finishes in kitchens and bathrooms, attractive reception rooms and useful practical spaces such as a utility, boiler room and stores. The annex (The Apartment) is independently accessed and currently traded as a holiday let, offering flexible income potential or easy integration into the main house.
Practical points to note: the property is on private drainage, heated by an oil Worcester boiler (newer but not district gas), has an EPC rating of D and very slow broadband. The location is rural and peaceful yet only a few miles from Kirriemuir and local services. Council tax is high (Band G) and the wider area scores as very deprived; there is an existing right of access over the farm road and some shared access arrangements with neighbours.
This is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a large family home with equestrian potential, holiday‑let income options or an adaptable country estate close to the Angus Glens. It will particularly suit families and countryside enthusiasts prepared for rural service arrangements and slower connectivity.
