Rarely available, well presented bungalow, immediately adjacent to Edzell golf course, and close to village amenities.
Description
Burnside is a fine and well presented bungalow, occupying a prime position adjacent to the Old Golf Course at Edzell. Indeed a private bridge from the garden over a sunken burn links Burnside directly to the eighteen hole golf course, close to the first tee. It is situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, known as The Drive, which as well as fronting onto the golf course, is within easy walking distance of the High Street and the extensive village amenities including the Glenesk Hotel. Given its enviable position, it is ideal as a small and easily maintained home, or as a desirable holiday property. Burnside sits within its own enclosed garden, and is harled, with some stone façade finishings, and a tiled roof. Internally the house is well laid out and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating. There are cornices in the hallway, reception rooms and main bedroom.
A covered entrance with a front door opens to an entrance vestibule and on into a welcoming hallway with a useful hanging cupboard. Off this is a lovely sitting room, with a bay window looking out to the garden and golf course, together with a fireplace with a remote controlled living flame gas fire. The sitting room links through to the dining room, so is ideal for entertaining. The dining room has a sliding door to the garden, four wall lights, and in turn links to the breakfasting kitchen, which again has a sliding door to the garden. The fitted kitchen has units with a Siemens dishwasher and gas hob with extractor, Franke sink, Hotpoint microwave and oven/grill. There is ample space for informal dining. Beyond is a utility room, with a door to the garden, walk in shelved larder cupboard, further shelved cupboard, sink, John Lewis washing machine, Zanussi dryer, and a wall mounted Worcester boiler. An integral garage has an auto up and over door, power and light, and a shelved cupboard.
Also off the hallway is a shower room with washbasin and WC. There are three bedrooms. Bedrooms 1 and 3 each have a shelved cupboard, while Bedroom 2 has two wardrobes and an en suite with bath, washbasin with vanity unit and a WC.
The garden is mainly laid to lawn with some flower and shrub borders, and is enclosed by fencing and hedging. There is a block paved driveway and parking, paved seating areas, and a wooden dog kennel and run.
Location
The pretty village of Edzell, to the north of Brechin in Angus, is an attractive and thriving community, situated at the foot of the Angus Glens. Close by are Glen Esk and Glen Lethnot, which are two of the loveliest local glens. Edzell offers excellent local shopping including a butcher, post office, convenience store, coffee shops and a chemist, and benefits from a new health centre and a modern primary school which includes a nursery. There are two hotels, with the Glenesk Hotel having a swimming pool and spa, and there is a renowned 18 hole golf course, along with a 9 hole course and driving range.
Burnside is also ideally situated for those who wish to enjoy the range of outdoor pursuits offered in Angus. There are lovely walks within the local vicinity including along the nearby River North Esk. Salmon and sea trout fishing is also available on the North Esk, and on the nearby South Esk and West Water. The Angus glens offer some of the best hill walking in eastern Scotland and skiing at Glenshee. From Edzell the scenic Cairn o’ Mount route gives access to Deeside. Other golf courses in the area include Montrose and Brechin, with the championship course at Carnoustie being easily reached. There are outstanding sandy beaches at Lunan Bay and at St Cyrus, which is a nature reserve, as is Montrose Basin. The nearby town of Brechin is well served with local shops, business and leisure facilities, with secondary schooling and a swimming pool at the new community campus. Further afield, more extensive shopping and business services are found in Forfar, the county town, and in Montrose. Private schooling is available locally at Lathallan (Johnshaven), with a bus service from Edzell, and at The High School of Dundee.
The nearby A90 provides fast access to Aberdeen and south to Dundee, which are both easily reached and offer all the services expected of major cities. Dundee has renowned 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. Journey times to Aberdeen and its airport have been much reduced by the Western Peripheral Route. Aberdeen Airport provides a range of domestic and European flights and there is a direct service from Dundee to Heathrow. Edinburgh Airport is also easily reached.
