Recently extended and renovated, Easterburn, Menmuir, Angus, has all the ingredients required for a super family home in the country.
Both formal and informal living space, a great kitchen, four bedrooms (and potential for more), plenty of bathrooms, a new, west-facing paved terrace, lovely walled garden, tennis court, paddock, stabling and a stone steading with storage and garaging.
The location is excellent too, being just four miles off the A90 dual carriageway and within commuting distance of Aberdeen and Dundee.
Easterburn was built as the parish manse. It was sold off by the Church of Scotland in the 1950s and acquired by the sellers in 2007, who are only the third owners since the church. They then set about an ambitious programme of refurbishing the Category B listed building and adding a new wing to the rear.
One of the many lovely features of Easterburn is its sheltered walled garden, which lies to the west of the house. This has herbaceous borders, lawns and a central sundial. A large paved terrace with a pond and a fountain is accessed from the family room and the dining room and is an ideal seating and entertaining area. Balustraded steps lead from the terrace down to the garden. In front of the house are a lawn and a small area of woodland. Beyond is the paddock. Lying to the east is the tennis court. At the back of the house there is a traditional L shaped, stone built steading which comprises two garages, stables with three stalls, workshop with steps up to a loft, and a lean-to car port.
