A glazed entrance vestibule creates a bright and welcoming introduction, doubling as a useful boot room. From here, the property opens into a truly impressive open-plan kitchen and family room – the real heart of the home.

There is ample space for a dining table and relaxed seating, creating a versatile living area perfect for modern lifestyles. A handy utility room off the kitchen offers additional practicality and access to the private gardens.

The accommodation further offers three generous double bedrooms and a fourth versatile room that could serve as an additional bedroom or separate lounge. Two of the bedrooms benefit from en suite shower rooms, while the rear bedroom enjoys direct access to the private gardens and is of a size that would make it an ideal principal suite or a flexible secondary living space.

Externally, the home is set within extensive, well-maintained and enclosed grounds, including landscaped gardens and a paddock that is ideal for outdoor hobbies or small livestock. Its position provides uninterrupted views across open countryside, enhancing the sense of space and privacy. The impressive plot also offers the opportunity to extend or even to construct another dwelling, subject to relevant planning permissions.

Further enhancing its appeal, the property benefits from a highly economical air-sourced heat pump system that provides efficient, low-carbon heating throughout, supported by solar panels for sustainable energy generation. Full double glazing ensures excellent thermal performance and comfort, and the integral double garage provides secure parking and generous storage, with additional space for multiple vehicles on the private driveway.

Despite its tranquil and scenic setting, the cottage is ideally located for easy access to nearby towns and amenities, lying just nine miles from Dundee and Forfar, seven miles from Carnoustie and eight miles from Arbroath. This rare balance of peaceful countryside living and excellent regional connectivity makes Birns Farm Cottage a home of real quality in a truly desirable location.
