SITUATION

Despite its rural location it is situated in a highly accessible area just 2 miles east of the A90 and it is well placed for commuting to Aberdeen (28 miles) and Dundee (41 miles). Laurencekirk is only a 5 mile distance and it has a good range of local amenities including shops as well as a primary school and medical centre.   Secondary schooling is available at Mearns Academy and Lathallan School, making it a perfect choice for families seeking both luxury and convenience in their daily lives.

DESCRIPTION
Thornylea House was built in 2013 and is a contemporary family home constructed by local builder Peterkin Homes.

The house is approached by a protruding porch, which gives access into the hall at the heart of the house which leads off to a WC and spacious lounge which is centred around an Aga wood-burning stove. On the other side of the hall doors lead off to a bedroom as well as an impressive open-plan dining kitchen. The kitchen benefits from an island with a sink as well as a good range of quality fitted floor and wall units with integral high-end appliances, including an electric Aga, a fridge freezer and dishwasher. Step lead down from the kitchen into the living area, which has an impressive cathedral style ceiling and windows on three sides looking out over the gardens and to the countryside beyond. Part glazed double doors open out to a lovely terrace. Adjacent to the kitchen is a side entrance with utility room, providing additional storage and workspace and a further door leads to a shower room, which can also be accessed with bedroom 5.

The property benefits from double glazed windows and there is hardwood flooring in the hall, lounge and bedroom 5, while the upstairs bedrooms are carpeted.

The bedroom accommodation on the first floor offers four bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms and fitted wardrobes, offering ample storage space and privacy for all family members. The main bedroom features a luxurious spa bath and double fitted wardrobes that provide extensive storage.
