Surrounded by the stunning countryside and farmlands of Kinnell, the property overlooks the Lunan Water, which flows towards the beautiful Lunan Bay. Just seven miles away lies the town of Arbroath, renowned for its famous Arbroath Smokie, while the vibrant city of Dundee, known for its shopping and leisure options including the V&A Museum, is also within easy reach.

Upon entering the farmhouse, guests are welcomed into a spacious entrance hallway that leads to a cozy lounge adorned with wooden beams, comfortable furniture, and a traditional inglenook fireplace. Notable Christian carvings embellish the arched mantle, and the inviting wood burner provides warmth for relaxing evenings after a day of exploration. Across the hallway, the formal dining room serves as an excellent space for entertaining visitors, while the bright sunroom, accessible via patio doors, offers a delightful spot for reading or movie nights with family, featuring a Smart TV and garden access.
The farmhouse boasts a modern, well-equipped kitchen ideal for preparing home-cooked meals, complete with an electric oven/grill, induction hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and a Nespresso coffee machine.
