ANGUS A hidden gem of the Scottish property market?

Angus, tucked into a beautiful corner of the east coast of Scotland, is a pretty but sometimes overlooked county that offers a superb location for your next home.

Lying on the east coast of Scotland, Angus stretches from the north of Dundee up to Brechin and Montrose and across to the stunning Angus Glens and onto the Cairngorms. Boasting a range of landscapes from gentle rolling, green farmland to rugged mountains and glens, as well as beautiful white beaches, this country has so much to offer.

There is a wide variety of leisure activities on offer in Angus, with pretty golf courses, superb hiking and mountain biking in the glens, a number of well-regarded equestrian centres, as well as great locations for a family day out including the stunning Glamis Castle, the childhood home of HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Besides offering ample activities Angus is also a readily commutable and accessible county. The cities of

Aberdeen and Dundee to the north and south respectively, both offer airports and extensive facilities. It is also easy to travel south via the upgraded A90 and onto Perth, Edinburgh and Glasgow. With the rise of home working and buyers typically seeking more outdoor space, Angus has become an increasingly desirable area in which to live, with recent property transactions in the county indicating that there is a wide pool of buyers looking in the area. Two recent Galbraith sales reflect the growing popularity of the county:Wester Auchenleish is a three bedroomed traditional cottage which was being sold with a section of hill ground and located in stunning Glenisla. Following 33 viewings there was a competitive closing date with 8 offers received. Buyers were attracted by the attractive traditional property with land and very beautiful location in the glen, whilst still offering relatively easy access to good amenities.

Anacail is a beautifully presented 5 bedroom house with extensive mature gardens in an exclusive location near the village of Auchterhouse. Sitting in a highly commutable location for Dundee and Perth, this property went under offer pre-emptively following a short period of marketing.
