The town’s rich history and picturesque setting make it an attractive location for both tourists and residents alike. A wealth of amenities can be found in Arbroath, from independent retailers, boutiques, coffee shops, cafes, hairdressers, barbers and beauty salons to High Street stores, family-friendly restaurants, takeaways, and bars, plus several large supermarkets. The town is also home to essentials such as a medical centre, pharmacies, dentists, and a Post Office. Lovers of the outdoors are spoilt for choice in Arbroath, with the picturesque seafront on the doorstep, as well as a number of scenic parks, including Victoria Park, with paths leading out to the cliffs, boasting stunning views over the North Sea and as far as The Bell Rock Lighthouse on the horizon. Golfers have a choice of two courses: Arbroath Golf Links and Letham Grange Golf Club. For those who prefer keeping fit indoors, there are several gyms in the town offering swimming facilities, fitness classes, well-stocked gyms and sports pitches. Schooling is well-catered for the town, with several primary schools and high schools, as well as Dundee and Angus College. Arbroath is very well connected to the rest of the county and further afield with its own train station, excellent bus links, and nearby major road links.

The five comfortably carpeted bedrooms include one on the ground level with excellent bespoke storage, while three doubles and a single/study are found upstairs, accessible via a naturally lit landing with storage.

Arbroath, Friockheim, Auchmithie, Colliston, Inverkeilor

Arbroath, Friockheim, Auchmithie, Colliston, InverkeilorIt's famed for the "Declaration of 1320" and as home of the "Arbroath Smokie," although the smoked haddock delicacy actually originated in the nearby one-time fishing village of Auchmithie.
But as you would expect from the biggest of the Angus towns, there's so much more to Arbroath than just its rich seafaring heritage, captured in a multi-million-pound visitor centre by the quay. The population numbers around the 24,000 mark and it has been hailed among the country's most affordable commuter towns, with Aberdeen and Dundee both coming into play.
It is home to Angus College, the Webster Theatre, two secondary schools, 11 primaries and, of course, a harbour. The Arbroath football team's nickname is the Red Lichties, referencing the lamp which adorned the harbour entrance as an aid to shipping.
The rural hinterland includes the villages of Inverkeilor, with its parks, primary school and pub, Friockheim and the clifftop hamlet of Auchmithie.
