Description
The Old Station House formerly served nearby Glamis Railway Station, which closed in 1956. The property has an impressive façade with a lovely outlook in a westerly direction over countryside. The property was purchased by the current owners in 2021, who have since carried out a comprehensive upgrade of the house including adding a utility room extension and replacing all the windows with CR Smith double glazed windows. In addition, the kitchen / family room has been opened up to create a lovely open plan space with a newly fitted kitchen and a lovey aspect with glazed doors opening out to a terrace. New flooring has been fitted through the ground floor. Situated off the hallway is a newly installed shower room with ‘rain shower’ system and seat for added luxury. The property has been well maintained and also benefits from a newly installed oil-fired boiler and a newly fitted electric fuse box. The newly upgraded front porch is a real focal point of the house and it incorporates the original pan window. The septic tank was replaced within the past 10 years.
