Traditional detached house in Carnoustie, accommodating five bedrooms, four reception areas, a breakfasting kitchen, and three bathrooms, plus generous, well-maintained gardens, a double carport, and a private driveway.

This five-bedroom, three-bathroom traditional detached house represents the perfect family home on a sought-after, leafy street in Carnoustie. The airy, characterful home offers a wealth of flexible living space and is accompanied by generous, beautifully maintained gardens and excellent private parking. Carnoustie is an attractive, coastal town with a lovely beach, as well as excellent amenities such as shops, including well-known stores and independent retailers, other everyday essential services, schools at primary and secondary levels, transport links (including a train station with links to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Dundee), leisure facilities, and a wealth of green space.

A practical entrance vestibule, with characterful tiled flooring, welcomes you into the home, and you walk through a door with charming stained-glass windows to an airy, high-ceilinged hallway with beautifully detailed cornicing sets the tone for the accommodation to follow.

There are four well-proportioned reception areas in the house, the first of which is a living room. Here, a wonderfully bright and spacious atmosphere is created by a high soaring high ceiling, a large southwest-facing bay window, and a generous floorspace which allows for a choice of lounge furniture layouts to suit the new owner’s needs. Further period charm is added to the space by elegant cornicing, a fireplace (with a working open fire), a picture rail, and an Edinburgh press with display shelving. The second reception area, a formal dining room, is connected to the living room via bi-folding doors, opening to create a sociable, flowing family or entertainment space, or closing for more privacy and separation. The dining room can comfortably accommodate a large dining table and multiple chairs for several diners – perfect for dinner parties – alongside additional furniture, and it features French doors opening onto a patio in the rear garden. It also benefits from a convenient door leading through the kitchen.

Another impressive reception area of the house is the sitting/family room, which is overlooked by a mezzanine level. The lower sitting/family room would lend itself perfectly to a more informal area in which to relax with family, with a warming log-burning stove and French doors opening onto the rear garden. Meanwhile, the mezzanine level is a flexible space that could lend itself to a variety of uses, such as a hobby room, a reading area, a music room, or a home office for working from home or studying. It is also adjoined by a southwest-facing balcony and gives access to a sizeable attic with good storage.

The kitchen comes very well-appointed with a wide range of wall and base cabinets, bespoke Corian worktops, and splashback tiling, with integrated appliances comprising an oven, a combination microwave oven, an induction hob, an extractor hood, a fridge, and a dishwasher. Space is also provided for a small dining table and chairs, ideal for morning coffee, casual weeknight meals, and socialising while cooking. The kitchen is adjoined by a shower room and the boiler cupboard in which there is linen storage. The kitchen leads through to the utility room which has additional cabinets, workspace and space for freestanding and under-counter appliances.

The appealing home offers five bedrooms, with two on the ground floor and the remaining three on the first floor, approached via a staircase and landing. Four of the bedrooms are generous and airy, offering plenty of space for configurations of furniture, whilst the fifth, a smaller double, could alternatively be utilised as a study. The sleeping areas are all individually styled and four are carpeted for optimum comfort underfoot.

The house has a family bathroom and two additional shower rooms, with one of the shower rooms conveniently located on the ground floor. The shower rooms both comprise shower enclosures, WC-suites, vanity storage, and towel radiators, whilst the bathroom comes replete with a bathtub, a pedestal basin, and a WC.

The house is kept warm by a gas central heating system and the windows are double-glazed throughout, with the exception of one small window.

Gardens and parking – Generous, beautifully presented outdoor space and excellent private parking

Externally, the home is perfectly complemented by large, well-maintained gardens to the front and rear, with the front garden featuring a manicured lawn and a border of neatly kept hedges and shrubs. The particularly large rear garden also has an expansive, well-kept lawn, patios for outdoor dining furniture and summer barbecues, and a border of trees and shrubs. There is also a useful shed with an attached log store.

Excellent private parking is provided by a double car port (with an EV charger) and a multi-car driveway.

Extras: All fitted carpets, curtains, light fittings, and integrated kitchen appliances will be included in the sale. The freestanding white goods, dining table, chairs, and dresser, and some other furniture is available by separate negotiation.
