This is a 200 year old fishing station built over an ice house, which now forms a unique holiday house that is full of character. Sitting above the sea, with stunning views towards St Cyrus and Montrose beyond, there is also a path from the garden down to a private beach.

Built over three floors, the whole house is full of charm and has a quirky style. There is a country style kitchen, complete with AGA, with a conservatory off this room, which is ideal for dining in the summer months to enjoy the amazing view across the sea. Then on separate floors there is a small sitting room, a music room, a larger sitting room, a games room with table tennis table and a sauna room. There is a further dining area sited on the gallery above the former ice house section. The accommodation spans across each of the floors, and includes a family room, a double room en-suite, a cosy integrated box bed double room, a twin room, a single room and 2 double sofa-beds. Surrounded by fields and with an open view of the sea, there is plenty of parking and a patio area with BBQ to the front of the house. This is ideal for family holidays and for those who enjoy the sea.
