Castle Beach – Magnificent Victorian Villa in Broughty Ferry
2 Castle Terrace
About this listing
Nestled right by the shoreline in Broughty Ferry, Castle Beach is a three-story Victorian villa exuding immense character. ‘The Ferry’ is situated on the East Coast of Scotland, just on the outskirts of Dundee. This historic fishing village boasts a plethora of well-established restaurants, shops, and bars. In the days when Dundee was renowned for jute production, Broughty Ferry housed the affluent barons and continues to maintain its reputation as the city’s affluent district.
A delightful stroll along Broughty Ferry’s esplanade reveals Broughty Castle, several parks and green spaces, and a nature reserve. Water sports enthusiasts will find the location perfect, with lessons readily available. There are ample opportunities for dolphin-watching and even boat trips for those seeking a closer encounter.
The villa itself faces one of the lush public gardens, offering breathtaking views across the North Sea to Fife.
Castle Terrace is a mere 5-minute walk from the heart of Broughty Ferry and a leisurely 15-second jaunt to the sandy beach. The property boasts an array of period features, including ornate cornicing in the main open-plan family room and one of the two master bedrooms. A sweeping staircase leads from the ground floor to the attic conversion, now a spacious bedroom with its own en suite bathroom. The views from the upper level are truly remarkable, spanning the beach on one side and overlooking the village rooftops on the other.
The property comprises:
An open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area with a woodburner
Master Bedroom 1 (super king bed, functional open fireplace, window seat with river views)
Master Bedroom 2 (king-size bed with ensuite – including freestanding tub)
Bedroom 3 (split-level mezzanine accommodating 2 in a double mattress on the upper level and an additional single bed below)
Bedroom 4 (woodland-themed room with a single bed and an additional trundle bed to create a twin)
Bedroom 5 (this room has a trundle bed that consists of a single day bed with an additional mattress tucked underneath. This clever design allows for two people to sleep comfortably)
Master Bathroom (another room with stunning views, a double-sized bathtub, and a separate shower enclosure)
Snug/Study (a tranquil space for remote work with a working fireplace)
Cloakroom (offering ample space to stow coats and shoes within cupboards)
WC (accentuated with wallpaper featuring a historic map of Dundee just before Castle Terrace was built)
Front and rear gardens, with the rear garden featuring a built-in brick barbecue, stylish seating and tables, and an outdoor shower
Garage for storage
A piano
The property is equipped with a diverse selection of games, DVDs, and a Netflix subscription. A piano in the hallway awaits musical enthusiasts.
Broughty Ferry is an idyllic destination for a Scottish getaway, with St. Andrews just a 20-minute drive away and the capital, Edinburgh, reachable in an hour and a half. Various other scenic spots like Glencoe offer potential day trip options.
We look forward to welcoming you to Castle Beach!
