Beautiful stone built traditional family home in scenic Angus countryside
The Old School House in Eassie dates back to 1890. This former primary school has been thoughtfully modernised into a stone-built family home that balances Victorian character with modern day comfort. Set within expansive gardens, the property offers panoramic views over the surrounding hills and farmland.
From its high ceilings and architectural features to the upgraded controlled heating and hardwired security, this home is designed for both style and peace of mind. Whether you are enjoying the warmth of the multi-fuel stoves or taking in the rural scenery this is a truly comfortable setting for family life.
The house opens into a functional Vestibule with generous storage, leading to a flexible Workshop. Then flow into the impressive Lounge, a bright and airy space defined by high ceilings, characterful exposed wooden beams, and striking dual-aspect windows. Its expansive layout provides a versatile setting for large-scale dining, entertaining, and socialising with family and friends.
The modern Dining Kitchen serves as a bright and spacious central hub, featuring extensive workspace, two ovens, a dishwasher, and a large fridge/freezer. With multiple aspect windows with two full-length glass patio doors opening directly onto the garden, the space is designed for a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. There is access to the separate Utility Room with plumbing for laundry appliances and direct access to the rear of the house.
The Family Room & Study offers a flexible and cosy retreat with its own stove for quieter moments, while the Reception showcases beautiful exposed stonework, more wooden beams and another stove fire. To keep the home organised and clutter-free, a dedicated cloakroom provides practical storage for coats and footwear and there is a modern Family Bathroom that are both conveniently accessed from the Reception.
Moving to the first floor, the Mezzanine level opens into a large, flexible space - currently enjoyed as a games room - that offers excellent open-plan versatility and additional storage. The Principal Bedroom is a generous size, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and a modern en-suite featuring both a separate shower and bath. Three additional bright and well-proportioned Double Bedrooms provide ample space for family or guests, with the first floor completed with a sleek, contemporary Shower Room.
The property is surrounded by extensive grounds that offer a perfect blend of aesthetic appeal and functional outdoor living. A private sweeping driveway provides generous off-street parking for multiple vehicles, featuring an EV charging point and access to a double garage. The front garden is a beautifully maintained space with a lush lawn, mature trees, hedging and a practical wooden outbuilding. The back garden is accessed directly from the kitchen or reception, this area is designed for hosting, relaxation and play, featuring a patio seating area, a garden cabin with pergola and a dedicated barbecue space, and an enclosed play area for children. Steps lead up to further garden grounds that cater to a sustainable lifestyle with a large, productive fruit and vegetable patch, a dedicated lawn drying area and a utility shed. To the side of the house there is a useful outdoor area paved with wood chippings that gives access to a log store and stone-built building.
It is known as the home of the bridie and Forfar, along with a cluster of nearby Strathmore villages, plays a central role in Angus life. The traditional market town is the administrative hub of the region, enjoying all the facilities you would expect of a community with around 14,000 residents.
In addition to shops - bakers included, naturally - Forfar enjoys a leisure centre, swimming pool, golf course, an Academy and primary schooling and a professional football team playing at Station Park.
The town, once a major textile centre, was bypassed by the A90 dual carriageway linking Aberdeen and Dundee back in the late 80s.
Five miles away, the biggest of the many villages in the county is Letham, with its many active clubs and societies, and other smaller communities owing their existence to farming include Tannadice, Kingsmuir on the road to Carnoustie and Guthrie, which is equidistant from Forfar, Arbroath and Brechin.
