Situation

Delfield is quietly situated in glorious countryside within the foothills of the Angus Glens, a short distance to the west of Finavon, near the popular county market town of Forfar to the south, and Kirriemuir to the west. The River South Esk is nearby, winding its way to the sea at Montrose, with the area immediately around the property comprising a lovely mix of high quality productive arable farmland, giving way to heather clad hill, woods and grazing land. To the north are the beautiful Grampian Mountains and Angus glens, which include Glen Isla, Glen Doll, Glen Clova, Glen Esk and Glenogil, with the stunning Angus coastline nearby to the south and including beautiful beaches like Lunan Bay along with dramatic red sandstone cliffs at the likes of Arbroath and Auchmithie. The temperate northeast climate statistically offers some of the sunniest and driest weather in Scotland, being known for long dry summer days and crisp bright winters. Forfar (5 miles) and Kirriemuir (6 miles) provide for all day-to-day amenities, between them offering a very good range of supermarkets, shops and services as well as primary and secondary schooling.

The cities and airports are well within reach from Delfield, making it the ideal location for commuters and home working – Dundee 18 miles, Aberdeen 48 miles, Perth 39 miles, Edinburgh 80 miles, Glasgow 96 miles. Independent schooling is available at Dundee High School, St Leonards in St Andrews, Robert Gordons in Aberdeen and Lathallan at Johnshaven. The county of Angus is a gem and has a great deal to offer in terms of outdoor pursuits, with numerous opportunities for walking, riding and cycling whilst shooting, fishing and stalking can all be taken locally. For golfers there are numerous quality local courses, with the British Open a regular visitor to the Championship Course at Carnoustie and of course the Old Course at St Andrews across the Tay Bridge at Dundee. The popular courses at Edzell, Alyth, Forfar and Kirriemuir are just a short drive from Delfield. For skiers there are good facilities at Glenshee and the Lecht.

There are international airports at Edinburgh and Aberdeen, with London flights also available from Dundee, and there are train stations at Dundee, Aberdeen, Montrose, Arbroath and Laurencekirk .

General Descripton

Delfield House

Newly constructed only 13 years ago, Delfield is a spectacular modern mansion offering superb contemporary accommodation of generous scale and a very high quality. The property is immaculately presented in every regard, approached via an impressive private driveway with automated gated entry. Delfield has a striking white painted harled exterior under a slated roof, with lovely dressed stone detail. Flanking the main central section of the house are two wings, comprising the swimming pool / leisure suite to the east and the garage / car ports to the west, with an arch leading through to the rear of the house. At the heart of the property is the magnificent main hall and staircase, providing access to all areas of the house and quite sublime in terms of presentation and its timeless simplicity. Either side of the main hall are the two wonderful flexible very well-proportioned main reception rooms, currently configured as formal drawing room and dining room, both with open fires and both enjoying some superb views out over the grounds to the distant Grampian mountains. There is a conservatory off the drawing room. To the rear is the stunning open plan and very well-appointed modern kitchen with island unit / family room / dining area, which offers perfect and very spacious contemporary living space well-suited to modern family living. Off the kitchen to the west is a corridor leading to the boot room, utility room, wc, stores (including the gun room) and main back door. At the eastern end of the house is the purpose-built leisure suite / swimming pool (currently covered for use as a Pilates studio and not in use) with shower room, plant room and independent access.

The first-floor bedroom accommodation is laid out around the fabulous galleried main upper hall, which also provides access to the balcony above the front entrance. Perfectly proportioned and with delightful en-suite bathroom and dressing room, the principal bedroom is just a delight and again enjoys the views to the distant hills. There are five further gorgeous double bedrooms all with ensuite facilities and several with dressing rooms.

Subject to induvial requirements there may be scope for the creation of further living space within the extensive attic space.

Quality and perfection run through every aspect of this outstanding property, with the result being a stunning, comfortable and most substantial modern home of a quality seldom seen in Scotland.
