An exceptional opportunity has arisen to purchase a truly unique two bed upper
floor apartment situated in a popular residential area of Arbroath. Built in
1890 this Category C listed building was once the original Inverbrothock
Public School. Converted in 2000 this magnificent building oozes grandeur and
has retained the original structure and most of the internal architecture and
period features within the communal areas, including a large glass atrium
roof. Beautifully maintained by the residents association the building tells
its story as soon as you walk through the door. From the two main stairwells
you can see how the boys and girls were segregated and taught from opposite
sides of the school. Located on the girls side of the building is apartment 7.
Spacious, immaculate and in contrast to outside this apartment feels new.
Situated close to all local amenities, including transport links this property
will appeal to a broad range of buyers from professionals to first time - buyers
and isn't expected to be on the market for too long.
Neatly manicured front gardens lead you to a secured entrance. Once inside the
communal area you will be blown away by the unexpected architecture and
instantly intrigued by the buildings history. Almost museum like there are
little artefacts dotted around providing information to everyone visiting the
building. Large sweeping staircases branch off in different directions bathed
in light from the atrium roof above. Tropical plants scattered around the
building thrive and bring a little outdoor, indoors. Ascending the grand
staircase leads you to a large mezzanine area with hardwood flooring. The
current owners have maximized the use of this space and created a fantastic
entertainment / gym area just outside the apartment. This multi - functional
space will be a great spot to relax with friends during summer and winter
months.
Internally the accommodation has a modern feel. During the conversion the
floors were raised and the ceilings lowered for practicality and warmth
creating easily accessible hidden storage to span under the floor and within
the attic. The accommodation comprises; a bright open reception hall, this
versitile space not only provides access to everyroom in the house but also
serves as a fantastic dining / entertainment area with room to spare. An
impressive lounge occupies the corner of the building with front and side
facing windows. A wall mounted feature fireplace is a nice focal point in this
tastefully decorated room. The well - appointed kitchen has plenty of space for
a dining table and several large storage cupboards in the hall are large
enough to house the washing machine and tumble dryer if preferred. The
beautiful master bedroom has a wall of windows and benefits from en - suite
facilities and fitted wardrobes. Next door is another double bedroom. This
well - proportioned room also has fitted wardrobes and ample space for bedroom
furniture. The luxurious family bathroom has a Victorian vibe with black and
white flooring, pedestal sink and standalone roll top slipper bath.
Interlinked smoke alarms and electrics are all up to current legislation.
Externally every apartment has their own private drying area, large garden
shed and a place to relax and enjoy the summer. There is also a rear access
point for bin collection. A large residents carpark has a private parking bay
for each apartment with visitor parking bays also available.
If you're lucky enough to buy this fantastic property you will be required to
pay £40/month into a residents fund for essential maintenance and cleaning of
the building. A large sum of money will be inherited with the sale and
residents are considering reducing monthly payments to £30/month. Overall, a
small price to pay to ensure the long - term preservation of such a beautiful
building. Viewing is essential to appreciate just how unique this two bed
apartment is.
