The Gate Lodge – Modern and Period Combined

About this listing

Combining quirky and period features with modern living, The Gate Lodge is a single storey, two-bedroomed house with amazing views over the River Tay and famous bridges.

Ideal for couples and small families, and business travellers alike, you’re close to riverside walks, the seafront and beach, shops and transport links.
After a busy day, relax in your private garden or watch the sun set over the River Tay.

The Lodge was originally built as the gatehouse to one of Broughty Ferry’s many Victorian mansions, and retains many charming features. All on one level, the house enjoys views across the River Tay from both the lounge and the master bedroom.

The spacious and inviting lounge boasts a dining table that easily seats four individuals, creating a cosy and welcoming ambiance. Additionally, a decorative log burner enhances the room’s aesthetic appeal, though it is solely intended for decorative purposes.

The master bedroom is lovely and light, with windows on two sides, and a walk-in dressing closet. The second bedroom overlooks the back garden, and has a built-in cupboard.

The modern kitchen has been built in two adjacent rooms towards the back of the house, allowing plenty of space for preparing a meal. There’s enough space around the cocktail table and bar stools if you prefer to grab a quick breakfast in the kitchen..

A utility room leads onto the bathroom with a stylish walk-in shower.

Pop out of your back door into the delightful garden with terraces, a summer house and a BBQ area.

LOCATION
You are within ten minutes’ drive of the lovely coastal suburb of Broughty Ferry, with food shops, cafes and boutiques, plus picturesque harbour and shoreline. Families will love the excellent children’s playpark at nearby Castle Green and beach, and if you’re lucky you might spot seals and dolphins.

On the seafront the striking Broughty Castle is well worth a visit. Dating back to 1490, it originally protected the Tay estuary, and now houses a museum which explains the history of this pretty fishing village.

Broughty Ferry train station connects you with the Scottish mainline stations of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen. Plus, being just three miles from the city of Dundee, there are excellent road, rail and air links making for straightforward travel. The property has bus stops outside, and the nearby National Cycle Network Route 1 gives access to coastal cycling and walking routes.

Dundee itself has been transformed in recent years into a lively and cosmopolitan coastal city. Choose from the waterfront development with the V&A Dundee museum, historic ships and urban beach or the city centre shopping areas, theatre and museums.

The area is surrounded by beautiful countryside which will delight walkers and cyclists, and is close to Angus and Fife beaches, and world-famous golf courses, including St Andrews and Carnoustie.

Welcome to the Gate Lodge, have a fantastic stay.
