The Stables Kirkstyle, St. Vigeans, Arbroath, DD11 4RB

Tucked away in the peaceful village setting of St Vigeans, just on the edge of Arbroath, The Stables is a home full of character, creativity, and calm. Set against a backdrop of mature trees and winding paths, this former stable block has been lovingly transformed into an exceptionally distinctive home—combining original stonework with striking contemporary interiors. With Arbroath town centre and train station just over a mile away, it offers the rare balance of rural tranquillity and everyday convenience.

The heart of the home is a dramatic lounge that immediately impresses, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a full-height bookcase that brings both style and soul. A wood-burning stove anchors the space, while expansive glazing and a sun room connect it seamlessly to the garden, flooding the space with natural light. Just off the lounge, the dining room and adjoining kitchen feel equally generous—well suited to both everyday life and entertaining. The kitchen itself is full of personality, with bold cabinetry, a central island, and plenty of practical workspace.

Each of the three bedrooms offers its own sense of quiet comfort, with the principal suite thoughtfully separated for privacy and complete with en-suite shower room. There is a family bathroom located near the master bedroom which has a skylight. The remaining bedrooms sit near the Shower Room and utility room, forming a wing of their own—ideal for guests, teens, or visiting family. And for those working from home or seeking a creative studio, the attic-level study is a standout space. Tucked beneath pitched eaves and a Velux window, it offers a peaceful vantage point with plenty of natural light looking over the treetops and the living room below, with more than enough room for desks, bookshelves, or your next project.

Outside, the gardens are beautifully mature and remarkably private. There are quiet corners to read or unwind, sunny spots for dining al fresco, and plenty of room for children or pets to explore. The plot itself feels both welcoming and wild—easy to enjoy as-is, or with scope to enhance further.

A home unlike any other, The Stables offers a lifestyle that feels tucked away, yet still well-connected. Whether you're looking to downsize creatively, upsize with flexibility, or simply live a little differently—this could well be the one.
