Contemporary country living in beautiful Angus

Kingennie Fields near Broughty Ferry in Angus is a small development of 12 luxury properties on sale with Scotland’s leading property consultants CKD Galbraith. The firm has experienced a high level of interest for the contemporary and spacious family homes which are proving extremely popular with the local market.

Harry Stott, of CKD Galbraith, said: “When we first started marketing the properties we envisaged that interest would come from far and wide. However, we have been pleasantly surprised to find that most of the interest has been from parties living in the area. In fact three out of four of the purchasers of the first phase were already living in Angus. In addition, we recently sold the fifth house in September to a couple who had lived in various parts of the world but decided to settle at Kingennie Fields because of a local connection. We continue to receive enquiries for the remaining properties in the development, of which a significant number are local to the area.”

The properties currently for sale include Plot 1, Plot 6 and Plot 7 which is due to be the next show home opening early Spring 2010.

Plot 1 which is a House Type 2 offers exceptional family living which is evident when you first step foot into the grand entrance hallway providing access to all public rooms. A large glass wall presents magnificent views and spectacular light through the dining room to the garden terrace and countryside beyond. With a large open plan kitchen diner forming the heart of modern family living and five double bedrooms, the property offers great flexibility and a wealth of stylish living space. The property is on the market at a guide price of £845,000.

Plots 6 and 7 are both House Type 3 properties and are beautifully welcoming with impressive galleried reception hallways allowing for a light and airy atmosphere. In keeping with the other properties a large glass wall to the dining room immediately draws you to the outdoor space along with French doors leading from the large open plan kitchen to the decked terrace area. The drawing room boasts a magnificent cathedral ceiling whilst the library room and additional public rooms, along with four double bedrooms, offer fantastic family accommodation. Plot 6 is on the market at a guide price of £765,000 and Plot 7 available at price on application.

Mike Forbes of Kingennie Fields, said: “The development at Kingennie Fields offers a unique opportunity to live in a contemporary home of the highest standard in a traditional country setting. We have been getting enquires for the current properties on sale as well as interest in the final four houses still to be developed. This development has shown that there is a strong appetite in the market for luxury family houses in great locations.”
