Get more for your money by moving to Montrose. Cheryl Livingstone finds out more
Soaring prices have rocketed Aberdeen to number five in a list of the most expensive places in the UK to buy a home.
Many house-hunters may now start looking to get more for their money by extending their search beyond the city.
If you don’t mind a 45-minute commute – and have always dreamed of owning a coastal property – 17 Panmure Place, Montrose, could be the perfect solution.
An 18th-century, six-bedroom detached home, it is impressive from the moment you cast your eyes on it – from its delightful walled entrance and gardens to the period features inside.
It offers an abundance of space over three floors and has undergone a complete renovation – the perfect blend of modern and traditional.
The original tiled flooring of this B listed property and a feature arch in the entrance hallway set the tone for the quality evident in the rest of the home.
The spacious lounge is the perfect relaxing space while the bright open-plan kitchen and dining room – fitted with a range of quality gloss units, a central island and ample space for dining furniture – is an absolute delight.
A striking staircase leads you to the first floor and the master suite, which boasts a large bedroom, dressing room and a contemporary en suite. Two further good sized bedrooms are also on this floor, as well as a family bathroom.
Continuing up the staircase takes you to a brilliant games room – perfect for kids and adults alike – which could also be used as a bedroom or for other purposes.
There are another two double bedrooms on this floor and a box room.
All this could be yours for offers over £379,000 – a price you would struggle to meet in Aberdeen for this high standard of home.
The house is set within walled gardens, offering privacy and safety for children.
The patio area would be great for al fresco dining and there is a lovely surprise at the bottom of the garden – an inscription dated 1639.
There is also a garage which provides off-street parking.
The house is located in the Mid Links, which is within easy walking distance of all the amenities Montrose has to offer.
