Usan House
Usan House is one of the most beautiful houses in Scotland and is believed to date from around 1820 with later additions in the 1880’s. Although the architect is unknown there is a chance the design was based on nearby House of Dun which was by William Adam. Usan House has beautiful classical proportions and sits within its own policies with views over the surrounding countryside and the north sea beyond. The house has been owned by the current family since the 1950’s and they continue to farm the surrounding land. Usan House is built of stone under a slate roof, the three-storey residence faces south with views out over its own grounds, and lies close to the sea. The house requires modernisation and upgrading to bring the house up to use for modern living with likely work including new bathrooms, kitchen, replumbing and modern central heating system as well as redecoration throughout. The main rooms retain a wealth of original features including cornice work, doors, fireplaces and panelling, stone entrance hall and masonic pillars. The house, although large, feels very liveable and relatively compact. The basement could either provide additional accommodation or could be used as a caretakers flat or developed into an independent apartment. It is rare to find a house such as this, still very much in its original form and unspoilt, ready to be brought back to life. The adjoining lands and buildings provides a stunning setting for the house. Usan House is a small residential estate with land and amenity woodland, tucked into a stunning spot on Scotland’s east coast.
