9 Bedroom Property for Sale in LAURENCEKIRK

Johnston Lodge is a very historical property which has evolved over time to the handsome mansion house that we see today. The original lands were occupied by Sir Alexander Fraser, brother in law of Robert the Bruce and in 1780 James Farquhar MP built the present mansion house. In 1812 the then Lord Gardenstone created a single Baronial estate for the lands of Johnston. A Baronial title may be considered with the property sale. Johnston Lodge remains at the very heart of that original estate. The original mansion was transformed by the addition of a classically proportioned bow fronted Georgian extension which contains the main reception rooms. Johnston Lodge is approached directly from the main A90, through iron gates and up a private tree line drive of about half mile long which ends in a large parking and turning area. The grounds extend to about 24 acres and include an area of woodland whilst on the open grassland a 6 hole golf course has been created. There is also a wind turbine and a small paddock. The accommodation is light and spacious yet easily managed. Johnston Lodge is situated near the popular commuter village of Laurecekirk with the A90 providing fast access to both Aberdeen and Dundee.
