About this property

The Gate Lodge - Modern & Period, Combined

  • Gate Lodge combines period character with modern comfort in a charming single storey home overlooking the River Tay and its famous bridges. Originally built as the gatehouse to one of Broughty Ferry’s Victorian mansions, the property retains a number of traditional features while offering a relaxed and practical space for a comfortable stay.

    Ideal for couples, small families or business travellers, the house is well positioned for riverside walks, the seafront and beach, local shops and transport links. After a busy day exploring the area, you can relax in the private garden or watch the sun setting across the River Tay.

    Living Space and Bedrooms

    The spacious lounge enjoys views across the River Tay through its bay window and offers a cosy setting for quiet evenings. A dining table seating four is positioned within the lounge area, creating a comfortable space for meals or planning the day ahead. For cooler evenings, the multi fuel fire adds warmth and character.

    The property has two bedrooms. The master bedroom is bright and airy, with windows on two sides and a walk in dressing closet. The second bedroom overlooks the rear garden and includes a built in cupboard for storage.
    Kitchen and Dining

    The modern kitchen is arranged across two adjoining rooms at the rear of the house, providing plenty of space for preparing meals. A cocktail table with bar stools offers a convenient spot for breakfast or a quick bite before heading out for the day.
    A separate utility room leads through to the bathroom.

    Bathroom

    The bathroom features a stylish walk in shower and is finished to a modern standard.

    Garden and Outdoor Space

    From the back door you step directly into the private garden. The outdoor space includes terraces, a summer house and a barbecue area, offering a pleasant setting to relax during warmer evenings.

    Location

    Gate Lodge is located within ten minutes drive of Broughty Ferry, a popular coastal suburb with food shops, cafés and boutiques, as well as a picturesque harbour and shoreline. Nearby Castle Green and the beach offer a great space for families, and you may even spot seals or dolphins along the waterfront.
    Broughty Castle, dating back to 1490, sits on the seafront and now houses a museum that explores the history of the area.

The surrounding area also offers access to countryside walks, beaches in Angus and Fife, and world known golf courses including St Andrews and Carnoustie.
