Watch PropertyFormer Rossie Castle Site, Montrose DD10 9TB
Plot - Offers Over £229,500
Thorntons are pleased to offer for sale a generous-sized development plot situated just south of Montrose and approximately 2 miles from Montrose High Street shopping and business amenities. The total site area is 3373m2 (0.83 acres) and is in the same position as the former Rossie Castle which was built in the late 18th Century to replace an earlier castle.
Ownership of the site shall include a private track leading from the main access road onto the site. It is a private location set back from the A92, there are impressive views north to Montrose Basin to the distant hills beyond, and due to its elevated position, it overlooks a wider landscape.
Planning permission has been approved for the erection of a large bespoke house of approx. 350m2 excluding a double garage although there was previous planning granted in 2016 for the erection of two dwellings spread over the area. It is therefore presumed that subject to reapplication to the Angus planners that there may be real scope for the erection of two properties on the site. Anyone interested in the site for building two houses is urged to complete their own due diligence regarding the potential for reverting to the former planning approval.
Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the rural setting as well as the stunning views and the proximity to Montrose.

Montrose, St. Cyrus, Hillside, Johnshaven, Laurencekirk
The nickname of Montrose FC is "The Gable Endies" and therein lies a clue to the coastal town's history, which can be traced all the way back to a King David charter of 1140.
It blossomed as a trading port, reflected in addresses like "India Street," "Baltic Street" and "America Street," and wealthy merchants were fond of building their imposing homes gable to gable.
Montrose lays claim to having the widest High Street in Scotland and attractive narrow closes. It overlooks a two mile tidal lagoon nature reserve which attracts thousands of visitors every year - in the shape of pink-footed geese and other birdlife.
Like nearby Mearns communities St Cyrus, Laurencekirk and Johnshaven, it is well placed for travelling to Dundee and Aberdeen and a population in the region of 12,000 has expanded on the back of the North Sea oil and gas sector.
The local golf club is among the oldest in the world and the beaches enjoy regular high ratings.
