Description
The Kirklands is a most attractive former manse, dating from the 18th century, remodelled and extended in the late 19th century. Occupying a lovely, convenient position, with south facing gardens leading down to the Gallery Burn, there are lovely views north to the Angus hills. The original part may have been built as a small farmhouse. It was then acquired as a manse for Logie Pert, and was extended at that time. It is a beautifully proportioned house, with fine rooms and architectural features. The church closed in the 1950s and the house has been in private ownership since. Stone built and part harled with a slate roof, it is light and spacious, making the most of its position and views, and retains much of its original character and features, such as cornicings in the principal rooms, together with some picture rails, and panelled doors. Some 20 years ago the house was subject to a major refurbishment programme which included rewiring, re-plumbing, replacing the central heating system, as well as renewing the kitchen, bathroom and shower room. Since then oak panelling has been fitted into the hall and study, along with a wood burning stove and oak flooring in the hall. Since 2010 the steading roof has been renewed and more recently a new electricity distribution board has been fitted. The Kirklands is a house of great character, which has benefited from considerable improvements in recent years.
A gravelled and parking area in front of the house has a small pond and a paved seating area, while there is additional parking at the back and adjacent to the steading. A wooden front door opens to an impressive hall which has feature arches, oak panelling, oak floor and a Jotul high level wood burning stove, a staircase to the first floor with a walk in understair cupboard, together with back stairs, also with a walk in cupboard. Accessed from the hall are the principal reception rooms. The delightful double aspect sitting room has a bay window with window shutters, high level skirting and a fireplace with a wooden mantel. Opposite is the fully fitted kitchen which has wooden wall and floor units with wooden worktops and tiled splashbacks. Appliances include a four oven AGA with extractor and wooden mantel, Bosch dishwasher, John Lewis five ring gas hob with extractor, Panasonic microwave, John Lewis oven and a Fridgemaster American style fridge / freezer. In addition it has a sink, tiled floor and plenty of space for informal dining. A utility room has fitted wooden units with tiled splashbacks, a sink, plumbing for a washing machine, shelved cupboard and a tiled floor. The rear entrance vestibule has fitted cupboards and there is a partially tiled WC with washbasin and tiled floor. The dining room, currently used as a cosy living room, has a connecting door to the kitchen, walk in shelved cupboard, shelved press and a fireplace with mantel. A study has oak panelling to dado level, fitted shelves, fireplace with tiled inserts and mantel, shelved display recess and window shutters. The downstairs bedroom has oak flooring, recessed shelves and an en suite shower room with wet walling, washbasin, WC and a tiled floor.
The front staircase is lit by a large leaded window. On the first floor, bedroom two is another bright double aspect room and has a bay window with window shutters . A tiled shower room has a shower cubicle with basin, WC and a tiled floor. Bedrooms three, four, five and six all have cast iron fireplaces with wooden mantels. Bedroom four has a washbasin, while bedroom five, which is another double aspect room, has a shelved and hanging press and an en suite bathroom with spa bath, pedestal washbasin, bidet, WC and window shutters. Bedroom six also has window shutters and a dado rail. The tiled bathroom has a bath with shower over, washbasin with vanity unit and a WC.

Location
Located on the east coast of Scotland, Angus is a county renowned for its heather clad hills, productive farmland and attractive coastline. The Kirklands is situated to the south of the River North Esk which is the county boundary between Angus and the historic county of Kincardineshire, now part of Aberdeenshire. The county of Angus stretches from Dundee, City of Discovery and home to the V&A Museum, up to the Montrose Basin, an important sanctuary for thousands of waders, wildfowl and migrating geese. The Kirklands lies midway between Dundee and Aberdeen, the oil capital of Scotland.
It is an appealing area, comprising rolling fields and countryside, while to the north are the Angus hills and glens. The property is ideally situated for those who wish to enjoy the range of outdoor pursuits offered locally. As well as on the North Esk, salmon and sea trout fishing is also available on the River South Esk and the West Water. The Angus Glens also offer some of the best hillwalking in eastern Scotland and skiing at Glenshee. From Edzell the scenic Cairn o’ Mount route gives access to Deeside. Golf courses in the area include Edzell and Montrose, with the championship courses at Carnoustie and St Andrews also being easily reached. There are pleasant sandy beaches at Lunan Bay and St Cyrus, which is a nature reserve.
Both Montrose and Brechin are well served with local shops, business and leisure facilities together with nurseries and schooling. There is a swimming pool at the new community campus in Brechin and also a pool and sports centre in Montrose. There are primary schools at Hillside and at Stracathro. Private schooling is available in Aberdeen and at Lathallan (Johnshaven), which has its own bus service from Brechin, as has Dundee High School.
The A90 is easily reached and provides fast access to Aberdeen and south to Dundee and Perth. At Perth, it connects with the M90 to Edinburgh and the A9 to Glasgow. Both Aberdeen and Dundee are easily reached and offer all the services expected of major cities. There are railway stations at Montrose and Laurencekirk on the east coast main line with regular services to Aberdeen and the south, including a sleeper to London. Journey times to Aberdeen and its airport are much improved with the opening of the Western Peripheral Route. Aberdeen Airport provides a range of domestic and European flights, and there are services from Dundee to London City. Edinburgh Airport is easily accessible.
