129 Oswald Street, Carnoustie, DD7 7DL

129 Oswald Street presents as new throughout, a five-bedroom detached house finished to an excellent standard, with an interior designed and decorated to match.

Carnoustie sits ten miles from Dundee, twenty minutes by car, with the train running along the coast. Golf, on a course that hosted the Open in 2018, along with a beach, a promenade and schools nearby. A town that suits people who want the space without giving up the connections.

The hall sets the tone. High and generous, a staircase sweeping up through the centre of the house, oak doors leading off in every direction. Not a corridor to get past on the way to somewhere better, but a proper space in its own right, with a cloakroom WC tucked in off it.

Then there is a choice to make. A living room running to almost nineteen feet, and a second room off the hall that works as a sitting room, a formal dining room or a study, depending on what the household needs it for. Both face south-west and hold the afternoon sun.

The back of the house is where everything gathers. Kitchen, dining and family space running to thirty-six feet, sage green and brass and warm oak, doors standing open onto the garden through the summer. It is the room where breakfast and homework happen, and it is big enough that both can happen at once without anyone getting in anyone's way. Past the boundary there are fields rather than another garden, which gives the whole back of the house a real sense of space. A utility room sits just off the kitchen with its own door outside, keeping the working half of the house out of sight of the rest.

That view follows you upstairs. The principal bedroom looks straight out over it, panelled walls, walk-in storage and its own bathroom, a room that feels separate from the rest of the house once the day is finished. Two of the further bedrooms have en-suites as well, three in the house altogether, so a full house never comes down to one bathroom and a queue on the landing. A four-piece family bathroom, with a bath and a separate shower, serves the rest of the floor.

Outside, the garden earns its keep. Lawn, planting that has had time to establish, and a pergola at one side with seating under it, lit and sheltered, the place the evening drifts to when the weather allows. A driveway sits alongside, with a detached garage, over twenty-three feet long, taking the bikes, the clubs and everything else that would otherwise end up in the hall.

A house with nothing left to do to it, in a corner of Carnoustie with room to breathe.
