Description
Prepare to be transported to a more gracious age. Mentioned in the writings of J.M. Barrie, The Auld Licht Manse stands as a proud and characterful period residence in the heart of Kirriemuir, a home steeped in literary romance and architectural integrity. From the moment you approach along the private drive, framed by enclosed gardens, there is a palpable sense of arrival. This is a house that wears its history with quiet confidence.
The entrance vestibule sets the tone, warm and welcoming, rich with period detail. On the ground floor, two beautifully proportioned reception rooms each enjoy their own fireplace, creating elegant yet comfortable spaces for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living. The sitting room flows effortlessly into the conservatory, where garden views soften the seasons, and natural light pours in. The dining room, equally charming, evokes candlelit suppers and long conversations by the fire.
The farmhouse style kitchen is the true heart of the home, featuring characterful cabinetry, a traditional range stove alongside a freestanding cooker, and generous space for gathering. A substantial utility and boot room provides practical everyday functionality, particularly suited to busy family life or countryside pursuits.
Ascending to the first floor, three well-appointed bedrooms await. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while a thoughtfully designed family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation. The attic floor offers two further versatile rooms and a generous landing area with excellent storage, ideal as additional bedrooms, creative studios, or quiet retreats beneath the eaves.
Externally, the property continues to impress. The enclosed garden provides privacy and maturity, while a garage and private drive ensure convenience. A separate workshop and dedicated home office offer superb flexibility for modern working requirements, all without compromising the home's period charm.
Warm, welcoming and gently wistful of a bygone era, The Auld Licht Manse blends heritage and modern practicality in equal measure. This is not simply a house, it is a chapter of Kirriemuir's story, ready for its next custodian.
