Description
Westhaven House is a truly exceptional property, standing in delightful immaculate grounds in a charming south-facing semi-rural setting on the eastern edge of the popular Angus town of Carnoustie, which provides an excellent range of local services and amenities, along with a thriving local community. A wider offering of facilities is on hand in Arbroath, with the resurgent city of Dundee no more than a comfortable twenty minute drive to the west. Aberdeen is approximately one hour to the north with Edinburgh about an hour and a half to the south.
Carnoustie provides swift access to an area of particularly outstanding and varied countryside with hill, wood, river, farmland and coastline all nearby. The result is a fine choice for the outdoor enthusiast with walking, cycling and riding all readily available. Golfers in particular are especially well provided for with an unrivalled selection of highly rated courses within easy striking distance including the Championship Course at Carnoustie itself and the Old Course at St. Andrews, which both regularly host the British Open. Monifieth, Edzell, Montrose, Forfar and Alyth are also close at hand. Challenging shooting and fishing may be taken locally whilst the pretty Angus glens such as Isla, Prosen, Clova and Lethnot are temptingly close.
Good state schooling is available locally with private schooling being provided at the High School of Dundee. Carnoustie benefits from a railway station on the main East Coast Line, which is only a 10 minute walk from the property and benefits from free all day parking. Edinburgh airport is about an hour and a quarter to the south whilst the busy regional airport at Dundee also offers a good range of short-haul flights.
DESCRIPTION
Westhaven House dates from 1883 and originally formed part of Panmure Estate. The house is a most substantial and highly impressive, detached stone property, which has been carefully and sympathetically refurbished to a very high standard. Immaculate both internally and externally, the house is of a beautiful sandstone construction under a slate roof, with a delightful seaward southerly aspect. Generous and well-proportioned the accommodation is essentially centred on a most impressive hallway which gives access to all of the principal reception rooms as well as the first-floor accommodation via a wonderful grand staircase.
The drawing room and dining room are both spectacular and benefit from lovely working open fireplaces (surmounted by mirrors) as well as delightful bright south-facing bay windows which enjoy charming aspects over the front garden. The cosy sitting room also lies to the front of the house, again with working open fire, along with a study/bedroom 5 and cloakroom. The rear hall leads through to the excellent and generously proportioned family / breakfast room and glazed doors offering direct access to the garden, providing secluded open easterly views over countryside. A door leads off the kitchen to a useful laundry/playroom off.
The immaculate main kitchen lies to the rear. A generous utility room / laundry (with double Belfast sinks) is contained within the outbuildings to the rear of the house, with former dairy, stores and further ancillary accommodation completing the ground floor accommodation. Boiler room containing double boiler/low loss header modern gas boiler unit.
In terms of the first floor the exquisite principal bedroom lies to the front of the house with a charming double aspect over the garden as well as the fields to the east, and absolutely exquisite en-suite bathroom off. A further generous double aspect bedroom lies to the front of the property, again with superb en-suite facilities, with two further well-proportioned bedrooms, shower room and spacious upper landing completing the first floor accommodation. Of an exceptionally high quality throughout, the house still benefits from many lovely period details such as extensive cornicing and several beautiful working open fireplaces, as well as stripped doors and wood flooring to extensive areas. Spacious, immaculate and charming, many of the rooms enjoy good views over the garden to the fields and sea beyond.
