Charming village house.
Description
Old Kirkton House is a most attractive period house, situated within the charming village of Newtyle. In 2007 / 2008 it was extensively refurbished and extended, and since 2015 the kitchen has been fully refitted, the boiler replaced and a new membrane roof fitted on to the orangery. As such it is a very well presented house, which sits within its own delightful gardens. It has a harled exterior and a slate roof, and is a light and spacious house, which is ideal for both modern family living and for entertaining. The dining room links to the sitting room, which along with the kitchen is connected to the orangery by the hallways, with both the latter having direct access to the garden. The principal bedroom suite is also downstairs, with the three further bedrooms upstairs. The house retains many of its original features such as cornicings; the extension is in keeping with the original house and was imaginatively designed. The house benefits from underfloor heating on the ground floor, traditional radiators upstairs, and is fully double glazed.
The original front door has a porch from the garden. The main entrance is now off Coupar Angus Road, with gates opening onto an outer gravelled courtyard with the garage and inner electric gates to a gravelled parking and turning area adjacent to the house. A partially glazed front door, with side lights, opens to a most impressive hallway, off which is a useful downstairs cloakroom with WC and washbasin. Double doors lead through to the inner hallway which has a ceramic tiled floor. This links to the garden and on to the fabulous orangery, again with French doors to the garden, and a warming wood burning stove. Further double doors from the inner hallway link through to the magnificent kitchen. This will impress the keenest cook, with its bespoke fitted units with worktops, double sink with waste disposal, and four oven Everhot cooker (with two ovens incorporating grills, two large hot plates and Eco setting), extractor fan and peninsular unit with matt granite worktops. Fully fitted AEG appliances include a washing machine / dryer, dishwasher, fridge, built in oven with sous vide and steam functions, professional style vacuum pack, under counter freezer and two ring induction hob. In addition the kitchen has a ceramic tiled floor and ample space for informal dining. Accessed from both the kitchen and the entrance hallway is the sitting room. This has a decorative fireplace with a marble mantel, and off here is the original porch. Beyond is the dining room, which is double aspect, and again has a fireplace with marble mantel and a raised grate.
On the other side of the hallway is the luxurious principal bedroom suite. This has a high domed ceiling, French doors to the garden, fireplace with marble mantel and surround, and two wall lights. The dressing room has fitted wardrobes, while the en suite has a bath with marble surround, corner shower cubicle, pedestal washbasin, WC and two wall lights. From the sitting room a staircase, which is panelled to dado level, leads up to the first floor landing. Bedroom two has a tiled fireplace with wooden mantel, while the family bathroom is timber lined to dado level and has a bath, washbasin, WC and two wall lights. Bedroom three has a tiled fireplace with a raised grate and wooden mantel, along with a press, while bedroom four has charming window seats and an en suite with bath, pedestal washbasin, WC and two wall lights.
The gardens are a delight, and are enclosed by walls and hedges. Immediately adjacent to the house are paved areas, with electric covered awnings from the orangery and inner hallway, creating lovely seating areas adjacent to a pond with a fountain, and which is overlooked by a wooden arbour. Beyond are flower and shrub borders interspersed with paths and lawns. Beyond a fence is a wooded area adjacent to the church. The gardens are sheltered and private. A greenhouse, also overlooking the pond, has electric window blinds, staging tables, power and water. Beyond is a brick built store and a wooden double garage, with electricity and power. At the back of this is a former wash house.
Location
Old Kirkton House is situated in the village of Newtyle, close to the county boundary of Perthshire and Angus. While its postal address is Perthshire it lies just inside Angus so is ideally placed to benefit from the many attractions that both counties have to offer. It lies in the heart of Strathmore, a fertile plain between the Sidlaw Hills to the south and the Angus Glens to the north, which is famed for its attractive scenery and productive farmland and for Glamis Castle, childhood home of the late Queen Mother.
The area benefits from good travel connections to Perth, Dundee, Aberdeen and Edinburgh. The A94, at Meigle, connects Perth with Forfar via Coupar Angus, while the B954 runs south from Meigle and Newtyle to Dundee. From Perth there are fast links to Edinburgh, Stirling and Glasgow. Forfar is on the A90 dual carriageway to Aberdeen. Dundee and Perth have mainline railway stations with regular services to the south including a sleeper. Edinburgh Airport is easily reached and has an excellent range of flights and there are services from Dundee to London City.
The recreational facilities in the area are superb. There are three golf courses at Alyth, together with championship courses at Rosemount (Blairgowrie) Carnoustie and St Andrews. Close by fishing can be taken on the rivers Tay, Ericht and Isla. The nearby glens provide some of the best hill walking in eastern Scotland and skiing at Glenshee. Both Dundee and Perth provide all the services expected of major cities and have renowned cultural facilities, including the new V&A Museum in Dundee.
There is a primary school in Newtyle, together with a well known butcher and post office / store. Secondary schooling is available at Webster’s High in Kirriemuir, or Monifieth High School. Private schooling is available locally at Dundee High School with a dedicated bus from Newtyle. There is a medical centre in Muirhead, and there are good walks in the area and in the Sidlaws.
