The property has been extended as well, adding further accommodation. It enjoys sympathetic interior design and well-preserved period features, which work together to create an inviting ambience and a sense of grandeur. It boasts three reception rooms, a modern dining kitchen, a family shower room, and six double bedrooms all of which have their own en-suite.

Situated just over ten miles from the city of Dundee, the coastal town of Carnoustie is a mecca for golf enthusiasts and famed for its world-class links golf course, laid host to the Open Golf Championship in 2018. With its foundations in local agriculture and the textile industry, this Angus town, founded in the 18th century, latterly found popularity as a Victorian seaside resort. In the last few decades, it has developed into an ideal spot for commuters. The town itself enjoys excellent local amenities, including supermarkets, shops, cafés and restaurants, banking and a medical practice, in addition to primary and secondary schooling. A short drive away, the vibrant city of Dundee boasts a full range of high street outlets and a cultural hub, with museums including the world-renowned V&A Dundee. In addition to the championship course (regarded as amongst the toughest in the world), this stretch of the East Coast is well-known for its outstanding golf courses. The town is surrounded by the beautiful Angus countryside, and its coastal setting offers a wonderful seaside lifestyle, with a promenade, leisure centre, sports facilities and play area, and walks along long stretches of beach in the local area. The town benefits from excellent road links and a train station, with a direct service along the coast to Dundee, making it very well connected not only to the city but also to the surrounding area.
Carnoustie and golf are inextricably linked, with one of the three splendid courses which make up the town's famous links a regular on The Open rota.
Once a tourist town - and it still attracts visitors in their droves - these days it is popular with homebuyers seeking a handy base to commute to Dundee, 11 miles away, or Aberdeen to the north.
But with a high school rebuilt in 2008 and three feeder primaries - and a population around the 12,500 mark - Carnoustie has preserved its own identity.
That is reinforced by a range of local clubs catering for pursuits as varied as yachting, rugby and football.
The town on the bay developed around the mouth of the Barry Burn, along with the nearby hamlets of Grange of Barry and Panbride, and the old fishing village of East Haven. The sprawling beach was once a haunt of the Royal Family holidaying at Glamis and remains a wonderful local amenity.
