Whinny Brae - Quirky Conversion

Welcome to Whinny Brae! This lovely apartment is set in a tastefully restored Edwardian building with elegant Art Nouveau architecture. Thanks to its former life as a primary school, its rooms are spacious and light-filled, plus there’s plentiful outside space too, with pretty gardens and private parking. Add to that a stylish modern interior plus a convenient location just minutes from the beach and town centre and you’ve got the perfect backdrop for your stay in this popular seaside borough.

The Eastern Residences, as the complex is now known, is a charming mix of contemporary living with the historic grandeur of the original sandstone building. There’s a sense of spaciousness with large windows flooding light in and emphasized by the use of a mezzanine level for the 2 double bedrooms upstairs (clever use of glass means there’s no noise issue from the living area though!). Plus, there’s a feeling of luxury coastal retreat thanks to the stylish décor choices.

On the ground floor there’s a large open plan living area with comfortable sofas, a dining table for 6, and a high quality modern kitchen which is fully equipped. There’s also a large pantry area and a useful utility room (ideal for storing those golf clubs perhaps?). The bathroom on the ground level is has both a bath and a shower and there’s another shower room upstairs for convenience. There’s even a desk area at the top of the stairs if you need to do a spot of correspondence while you’re here, like writing your postcards!

The development is beautifully maintained and offers private allocated parking for two vehicles, plus guest parking, a covered bike store, drying area and well maintained gardens.

KEY FEATURES
• 2 spacious double bedrooms
• Large bright open-plan living area with dining for 6

LOCATION

The property has a great location in the upmarket coastal suburb of Broughty Ferry, to the east of Dundee. You’re within comfortable walking distance of the heart of town which has a good selection of fine restaurants, cafés and shops including independent stores and art galleries.

‘The Ferry’, as it’s known locally, has origins as a fishing town and there’s lots of history to explore. Down near the seashore, the striking Broughty Castle is well worth a visit. Dating back to 1490 when it was built to protect the Tay estuary, it now houses a museum which explains the history of this pretty area. 

The famous golf courses at Carnoustie and St Andrews are close by and there are other excellent courses locally for avid golfers to test their links game. The award-winning sandy beach nearby provides a haven for wildlife and a lovely place to spend some time. Families love the children’s playpark at Castle Green and there are lots of local cycle paths too. 

Broughty Ferry train station is within walking distance, which makes it perfect for exploring further afield by rail. The city of Dundee, which claims to be Scotland’s sunniest city, is just 4 miles away with several notable attractions such as the V & A museum. There is a very good road network here and Dundee airport is 6 miles away from the apartment.

Welcome to Whinny Brae and have a fantastic stay!
