Fine and flexible house, arranged around a courtyard, with extensive outbuildings and paddock.
Description
Rosemount Stables is a most attractive stone built former stable block, with a slate roof, built around a courtyard and including a clock tower. It was initially converted into a fine family house in about 1990.
The Rosemount Estate was first acquired in 1788 by John Duncan who had made his fortune with the East India Company. It was acquired by James Inverarity in 1883 and remained in his family until 1928. The Estate was requisitioned during the Second World War and its walled garden produced fruit, flowers and vegetables for the Hospital Board from 1937 until 1951. Subsequently the Estate was acquired by the council who sold Rosemount Stables in 1990. After the house was converted, further works were undertaken including the provision of the large function room and a new central heating system together with extensive works in the gardens and grounds. The current owners acquired the house in 2002 and continued to upgrade the property including refurbishment of the conservatory in 2006, and the kitchen in 2008. In 2012 the en suite and one of the upstairs bathrooms were refurbished.
As such Rosemount Stables now comprises a delightful and comfortable family home, with well proportioned accommodation which is also ideal for entertaining. There is considerable scope to convert the large function room in the east wing into an annexe, while the outbuildings around the courtyard could also provide further accommodation, if required, subject to obtaining any necessary planning consents.
The house has been thoughtfully converted to provide extensive and flexible accommodation, yet still retains much of its original features and character. It benefits from partial double glazing and there are cornices in the reception rooms. There is a date stone of 1857 although another date stone of 1755 indicates that there may be earlier origins.
The house is approached by a driveway which leads on to the Rosemount Estate. A turning, through stone gate piers, leads to Rosemount Stables. Double wooden front doors with a glazed fanlight open to the hallway with stone walls and a stone flag floor, together with a curved hanging staircase to the first floor. Double doors lead to the conservatory which links to the inner courtyard, sitting room and living room. The impressive sitting room is timber-lined to dado level and has an open fireplace with stone hearth and log storage, under window bookshelves and a door to the inner courtyard . The east hall has stairs to the first floor, an understair cupboard and access to the study and to the east wing. This comprises a large function / games room / home gym with walk in storage cupboards and its own access from the courtyard. A shelved cupboard houses a Worcester Heatslave 15 /19 boiler while an adjacent shower room has a WC, pedestal washbasin and sauna. On the other side of the hallway is the living room, again with a door to the inner courtyard, which links through to the dining room with two shelved cupboards. Beyond is the west hall, again with stairs to the first floor and an understair cupboard. The useful utility room has fitted units, a double sink, plumbing for washing machine, clothes pulley, fitted cupboards, Worcester Danesmoor 50 / 70 boiler and a tiled floor. A separate WC has a washbasin. The fully fitted breakfasting kitchen has wall and floor units with tiled splashbacks. Fitted Bosch appliances include a fridge, dishwasher, Ceran hob with extractor and double oven / grill below. There is ample space for informal dining and an entrance door to the courtyard.
The west landing on the first floor has a door to outdoor steps to the courtyard. The principal bedroom again has a door to outside steps, as well as an en suite shower room with washbasin with vanity unit, WC and a tiled floor. Adjacent are bedrooms two and three, along with a bathroom with a spa bath with shower and tiled surround, washbasin with vanity unit, WC, tiled floor and door to bedroom three. Beyond is a linen room with shelved cupboard. This links to the central stone staircase which rises up to the tower room where there are views over the walled garden and courtyard. Steps lead down to bedroom four, which also connects to a partially tiled bathroom with corner bath, pedestal washbasin and WC, as well as to the east landing with a door to stone steps to the courtyard. Adjacent is bedroom five.

Location
Rosemount Stables lies on the edge of the village of Hillside, which is a quiet and desirable residential area, but with quick and easy access to Montrose. The village is slightly to the north of Montrose Basin and just off the A937 which connects north to Laurencekirk. Montrose, which is an historic port, is located on the coast between Dundee and Aberdeen. The Basin is a land locked tidal estuary at the mouth of the River South Esk, and is a renowned nature reserve and wildlife centre. It is home to a fascinating variety of wildlife, particularly migrating birds including large numbers of duck and geese. It is famed for its spectacular sunsets and ever-changing tidal flows. Beyond the Basin, the surrounding countryside is mainly rolling farmland, while inland are the lovely Angus Glens which form the foothills of the Grampian Mountains. The coastline around Montrose comprises sandy bays and red sandstone cliffs. As well as the beach at Montrose, there are renowned beaches at St Cyrus and Lunan Bay.
Locally, Hillside has a village shop and primary school. Montrose offers both primary and secondary schooling, a wide range of shopping, and leisure facilities at the new sports centre and swimming pool. Independent schools in the local area include Lathallan (Johnshaven) and the High School of Dundee and those in Aberdeen, with pupils catching trains from Montrose to either Aberdeen or Dundee. Golf courses in the area include Montrose, Edzell and the championship course at Carnoustie. Fishing can be taken on the nearby North and South Esk rivers, while sea fishing is also available locally.
The A92 coast road runs from Stonehaven to Dundee via Montrose and Arbroath, while inland the A90 dual carriageway runs north from Dundee to Aberdeen. The A90 is easily reached at Northwaterbridge and the cities of Aberdeen and Dundee are readily accessible and provide all the services expected of major centres. Journey times to Aberdeen and its airport have been much reduced by the Western Peripheral Route. Montrose is served by the East Coast railway line with regular services to Aberdeen and to the south, including a sleeper service to London. Aberdeen Airport has a range of domestic and European services and there are flights from Dundee to London City.

Outside
The most attractive courtyard is part gravelled, with raised flower beds, paved seating areas linking to the kitchen and conservatory, and two stores. A raised verandah has a small doo’cot above.

Beyond are the stables with three traditional loose boxes. To the rear is the former boiler house with its brick chimney, which is now used for storage.
Adjacent to the house is a wooden range with box profile roofing with two oil tanks, and two storage sheds (2.4 m x 3.8 m and 2.35 m x 4.6 m). To the side of the house are areas of garden with parking and turning areas, while behind the house is an enclosed paddock with a water supply by the back gate.
Also Available
The walled garden, along with the adjacent wooded areas (both shown in yellow on the plan), is held on a 99 years lease from Angus Council, from 2002 at a rent of £500 per annum. The garden is divided into two, and part was previously used as a further paddock, but now comprises areas of grass and fruit trees, along with a polytunnel and hen run.
