Crosston Farmhouse sits near the sleepy village of Aberlemno, around five miles northeast of Forfar.
The 17th Century C listed house and steading has a self-contained annex within part of the attached steading that’s ideal for housing guests or visiting family.
The main house is set over two levels and has four bedrooms. On the ground floor is the kitchen, living room, sitting room with stairs up to the annex, bathroom, WC, utility and the fourth bedroom. On the first floor are three more double bedrooms accessed from two staircases.
The annex has a living room, kitchen, bedroom and shower room.
The current owner has had the property rewired, installed a new central heating system, replaced the sceptic tank and connected the house to mains water. Among the many charming original features that have been retained are “bee boles” that were once used to keep beehives warm in the winter months.
The steading offers huge potential and has planning permission in place for conversion into a three bedroom family home.
In addition, there are a range of other farm buildings, four stores a cart shed and a stable with hayloft.
The large garden enjoys views over open countryside, while the courtyard formed by the house, steading and outbuildings creates a sheltered sun trap for the summer months. There’s a private access road leading up to the farmhouse and steading.
