About this property

Kirkgate Cottage – Countryside Living

Tucked away in the tranquil hamlet of Balkeerie, Kirkgate Cottage offers the perfect country retreat for those seeking rest, reconnection, and a touch of Scottish charm. Surrounded by rolling fields, big skies, and rich farmland, this beautifully presented cottage is a haven of comfort, thoughtfully styled with traditional furnishings, modern touches, and bursts of contemporary art that add personality and warmth.

Whether you're curling up with a book in the inviting lounge, exploring miles of countryside walks from the doorstep, or enjoying family time in the spacious garden complete with a children's playframe, Kirkgate Cottage offers space to slow down and breathe in the peace of rural life.

From here, you're ideally placed to explore some of the region’s most treasured landmarks. Discover the fairy-tale splendour of nearby Glamis Castle, admire the ancient Pictish Stone at Eassie, or head into Dundee to explore the cutting-edge V&A Museum. The area is also famous for its rich agricultural heritage - expect farm shops bursting with freshly picked berries, seasonal vegetables, and the renowned Eassie asparagus.

Highlights:

Cosy and comfortable lounge - perfect for relaxing evenings

Expansive garden with playframe for children to enjoy

Private parking for added convenience

Just a short drive to Glamis Castle and other local landmarks

Surrounded by nature with scenic walks in every direction

The Location:

Nestled in the quiet hamlet of Balkeerie, Kirkgate Cottage offers rural seclusion while still being within easy reach of everything you need. The nearest village, Eassie, is under a mile away; Forfar is just 9 miles, and the vibrant city of Dundee is a short 13-mile drive. Both Forfar and Dundee offer great road connections, and Dundee also has excellent rail and air links, making this countryside hideaway remarkably accessible.

Whether you're here for castle visits, country walks, or simply to enjoy the fresh air and wide open spaces, Kirkgate Cottage offers a timeless escape with all the comforts of home.

We look forward to welcoming you to Kirkgate Cottage - your peaceful place in the heart of Angus.

Great short break

We wanted a short break in a quiet location with the capacity to accomodate our small dog. This property had a nice enclosed garden, was convenient for local towns and also the coast. It fitted the bill perfectly.
