Part of converted former fisherman’s bothy, adjacent to the renowned beach at
Lunan Bay, currently used for holiday letting.
Description
For centuries there was a salmon netting station at Lunan Bay, with a bothy to
house the fishermen. In 1996 the bothies were sold by the fishing company and
this building was initially developed in 1998, when it was enlarged into a
most attractive two storey country house, built in a L shape. The property was
originally used as one private house but was cleverly designed so that it
could be sub - divided into two, as it is now, with the building being improved
and extended in 2004. Since then it has been used as a home and for long lets,
and in recent years as a successful holiday letting business
Lunan Bothies occupy a dramatic site, just inland from the beach, and located
behind sand dunes which provide shelter, and just to the north of the Lunan
Water. The building is harled with a slate roof and faces east and also south
towards Red Castle. The property could easily be converted back into one, and
is fully double glazed. The two properties, known as Beachside and Riverside,
each have their own access.
Riverside is under offer.
Beachside About 2. 36 acres
This is the larger of the two properties, and comprises the east - facing wing.
A partially glazed wooden door opens to a hallway with a tiled floor and
staircase to the first floor. Off this are two sun rooms, one linking to the
sitting room and one to the kitchen. The spacious dining kitchen has fitted
wall and floor units with tiled splashbacks, sink, built in storage cupboards,
(one housing a Hotpoint washing machine and the other a Worcester wall mounted
boiler) and French doors. Beko appliances include a double oven cooker with
grill and a fridge freezer. There is ample space for informal dining. An
equally spacious living room has French doors to the garden and a fireplace
with mantel and lpg gas stove. Also off the kitchen is a rear porch with a
further entrance door. A useful downstairs bedroom has a door to the garden,
fitted bedhead with two lights and a tiled en suite with shower, pedestal
washbasin and WC. At first floor level are three further bedrooms. Bedroom two
has two shelved storage cupboards, fitted bedhead with two lights and an en
suite with bath with shower and tiled surround, washbasin and WC. Bedrooms
three and four also both have en suites with bath with shower over and tiled
surround, washbasin and WC. There is an airing cupboard, and a separate
storage cupboard.
At the back of the house is ample parking and turning. There is an enclosed
garden in front and to the side with a sheltered paved seating area. In
addition there is an area of sand dunes between the house and the high water
mark on the beach, providing shelter, and planted with some indigenous tree
saplings.
Location
Lunan Bothies are situated in a lovely position adjacent to Lunan Bay, an
award - winning beach favoured by surfers, dog walkers and horse riders on the
Angus coast. This part of the Angus coastline is mainly red sandstone with
notable cliffs, rock features and sandy bays. As well as Lunan Bay, other
popular beaches are found at Montrose and St Cyrus. There is an attractive
coastal walk from Lunan Bay to Arbroath via Auchmithie. Sea fishing has long
been associated with the area, especially in Arbroath, famous for its smokies,
as well as at Auchmithie and Usan. The surrounding countryside is rolling
fertile farmland and there are nature reserves at Montrose Basin and St Cyrus.
Salmon and sea trout fishing is available locally on the North and South Esks.
There are golf courses at Montrose and Arbroath, together with the
championship course at Carnoustie. There is a marina at Arbroath, while inland
are the Angus glens.
The nearby village of Inverkeilor is just inland, off the A92 coast road, and
provides primary schooling. Gordon’s at Inverkeilor is an award - winning
restaurant, while the nearby Lunan House Hotel has a bar and grill. Secondary
schooling is available at Montrose and Arbroath, with both towns offering a
full range of shopping, business and leisure facilities. Private schooling is
found at Lathallan and Dundee High School.
Inverkeilor is within easy driving distance of both Dundee and Aberdeen which
provide all the services expected of major centres. Dundee’s cultural
attractions include the V&A, Scotland’s design museum. There are train
stations at Montrose and Arbroath with regular services to Aberdeen and to the
south, including a sleeper. Aberdeen Airport has a wide range of flights and
there are services from Dundee to London. Journey times to Aberdeen and its
airport have been much reduced by the Western Peripheral Route.
