Description
Langhaugh Farmhouse is an attractive country house. The original part of the
building is believed to date from the 19th century, with the front added
later. It was the farmhouse for the neighbouring farm until 2003, and still
retains much of its original period character and features, including
cornicing and yellow cedar panelled doors. At that stage the house benefited
from considerable refurbishment and renovations. It is a fine, stone built
house, with a slate roof, which faces south out over its own enclosed gardens
and grounds. The accommodation is spacious, with good sized reception rooms
and bedrooms, so is ideal for both family living and for entertaining. It is
approached by a tarred farm road from which gates open up onto the private
drive leading up to a tarred parking and turning area at the front of the
house and to the garage attached to the rear.
Front doors open to a double - glazed entrance porch with a tiled floor. The
welcoming hallway has a staircase to the first floor and a useful understair
cupboard. To one side is an impressive, double aspect sitting room with a
warming Minster stone fireplace, together with high level skirting and window
shutters. On the other is the equally impressive dining room, again double
aspect with window shutters and high level skirting, along with a fireplace
with wooden mantel. This is currently used as a living room. Along with the
hallway it connects to the family room, which runs the whole width of the
house with a fireplace at either end, one incorporating a wood burning stove,
together with four wall lights, window shutters and shelves. Beyond is an
inner lobby, off which is a useful downstairs bathroom with bath, shower,
pedestal washbasin and WC. The kitchen has custom - made freestanding units
with wooden work tops, incorporating a sink, dresser and butcher’s block,
together with a cosy Rayburn stove, clothes pulley and an understair shelved
cupboard. The adjacent utility room has fitted units with sink and Belfast
sink, along with a Rangemaster Classic 90 cooker with extractor, Hotpoint
washing machine and a walk in shelved larder. Beyond is an integral garage
with up and over door, Hotpoint dryer, Norfrost chest freezer and Trianco
boiler. Also off the kitchen is a rear entrance porch, while back stairs from
the inner lobby lead up to an office (previously used as bedroom five), with
storage cupboards.
The main stairs lead up to split front and rear landings. Bedroom one is
double aspect with window shutters, wooden mantel and a washbasin. An
adjoining study/dressing room also has window shutters, while bedroom two is
again double aspect with window shutters, along with an alcove with cupboard.
It connects through to bedroom three, currently used as a dressing room, and
links to the rear landing. Off this is a bathroom with bath with shower,
pedestal washbasin and WC. Bedroom four again has window shutters.
The attractive gardens are mostly in front of the house and are enclosed by
walls and hedges. They comprise lawns together with shrubs and trees,
including rhododendrons. There is a metal frame with lighting, providing an
ideal seating area, together with an arbour seat and a covered well. There are
composting areas, a trampoline and swing, while to the side of the house are
apple and plum trees. An enclosed paddock is presently a wild area with paths
leading to a seating area.
Location
Langhaugh Farmhouse is situated within its own grounds, yet is only some 3
miles from Brechin, providing ease of access to the A90 dual carriageway. It
is an appealing area: To the north are the Angus glens and hills, to the south
is Strathmore. The property is therefore ideally situated for those who wish
to enjoy the range of outdoor pursuits offered in Angus. Salmon and sea trout
fishing is available on the nearby North and South Esks or the West Water. The
Angus glens also offer some of the best hill walking in eastern Scotland and
skiing is available at Glenshee. From Edzell the scenic Cairn o’ Mount route
gives access to Deeside. Golf courses in the area include Edzell and Brechin
and the championship course at Carnoustie. There are fabulous sandy beaches at
Lunan Bay and at St Cyrus.
The nearby town of Brechin provides a range of shopping, leisure and business
facilities, together with primary and secondary schooling. Further primary
schooling is found at Stracathro and Tannadice. The attractive and popular
village of Edzell also has a primary school, as well as local shopping
including a butcher, post office, coffee shops, chemist and health centre,
together with a country club within the Glenesk Hotel, and a renowned 18 hole
golf course, along with a 9 hole course and driving range. Further afield,
more extensive shopping and business services are found in Forfar, the county
town, and in Montrose. Both Forfar and Brechin have leisure centres. Private
schooling is available at Lathallan (Johnshaven), which has its own bus
service from Brechin, as has Dundee High School. There are also a number of
good private schools in Aberdeen.
Despite its rural location, Langhaugh Farmhouse is not remote. The A90 links
Aberdeen with Dundee and Perth. Both Aberdeen and Dundee are readily
accessible and offer all the services expected of major cities. Dundee is
renowned for its cultural facilities including the V&A museum. There are
railway stations at Montrose and Laurencekirk on the east coast mainline with
regular services to Aberdeen and the south, including a sleeper to London.
Aberdeen Airport provides a range of domestic and European flights and is
easily reached by the Western Peripheral Route. There is a direct service to
London from Dundee Airport.
