Enjoying an exclusive, tranquil setting in a picturesque rural hamlet, dating back to 1800, Mains of Fowlis House is a handsome, five-bedroom family home with multiple reception rooms, three bathrooms, extensive private gardens, a summer house, and a double garage.
The outstanding detached property boasts classically-proportioned interiors, retained period features and elegant, sympathetic presentation. Forming part of the idyllic Mains of Fowlis Steading, surrounded by breath-taking Angus countryside, the exceptional home is just a short drive from Dundee with its excellent amenities, schools, and recreational facilities.
Approached by a sweeping driveway, the home's imposing front door opens into an entrance vestibule leading into a grand reception hall, providing an impressive welcome with a lofty ceiling framed by smooth cornicing and elaborate corbels, and a magnificent stone staircase rising to the upper floors. To the right of the hall, accessed through an original timber- panelled door, an impressively-proportioned, dual-aspect living room is extended by a wide sash-and-case bay window yielding leafy garden views, and enriched by elegant styling and handsome oak flooring, whilst a traditional working fireplace creates an exquisite focal point. Across the hall, a comfortably-styled family room features a bay window with a charming window seat and offers a cosy relaxed setting with a multi-fuel stove.
Perfect for entertaining, a spacious formal dining room is defined by tasteful dcor and pine flooring, and supplemented by an adjacent walk-in pantry with storage and a sink, whilst a large WC is conveniently located opposite. Accompanied by an abundance of storage, an inner hallway leads to an enclosed courtyard and two large storerooms, one with external access. The hall also leads to a vast dining kitchen, where classic cream cabinetry, rustic splashback tiling, and a traditional Aga create a homely atmosphere and space for a large dining table and chairs offers an ideal setting for family meals. The kitchen is integrated with a dishwasher, whilst an adjoining utility/ laundry room provides a large clothes pulley and plumbing for a washing machine and a dryer. Also conveniently connected, a boot room (with garden access) houses a freestanding cooker, space for a chest fridge/freezer, and plenty of room for jackets and muddy boots. Accessed from the boot room, a home office provides an ideal working space for the contemporary lifestyle. A split-level landing accessed off the main stairwell leads to two of the five generous double bedrooms and a shower room.
Continuing to the top of the staircase, a galleried landing, lit by a traditional roof lantern, leads to the three remaining sleeping areas, with the master bedroom accompanied by an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in dressing room with storage. A traditionally-styled five-piece family bathroom completes the accommodation, and an efficient oil-fired central heating system ensures year-round comfort and warmth.
Externally, the home sits within extensive walled gardens with sweeping expanses of manicured lawn, a wonderful array of mature trees and shrubs, a delightful, sheltered patio and a charming summer house with a large, decked terrace. A wide gravelled driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a detached double garage. EPC Rating - E.
Extras: Included in the sale are all fitted floor coverings, fitted window coverings, light fittings (except in dining room), integrated kitchen appliances, the AGA, the freestanding cooker and the greenhouse.

Property information from this agent
About this agent

We have been helping Dundee, Fife, Angus and Perthshire families with their property needs for generations. Throughout our long history and through ever-changing property markets, we have always focussed on what our clients need, and delivered services built round them. Recently we have expanded our estate agency operation into the Edinburgh Area. From the 1960s onwards, Thorntons grew to become the largest Scottish-based solicitor estate agency in our operating area. In the 1980s, we became the first local solicitor estate agent to open the now-familiar high street property shop. A significant game-changing merger in 1990 transformed the estate agency landscape locally and the firm expanded, opening bustling property shops throughout Dundee and Angus. These property shops gave buyers and sellers their first experience of the one-stop shop’ approach by providing a full range of complementary estate agency and legal services.
