The property
Considered to be one of the earliest and finest Renaissance houses in Scotland, Gallery offers over 11,300 square feet of space on an impressive 82 acre estate. Built of harled stone under a slate roof, the three-storey residence dates from 1677 and includes a two-storey wing which was added in 1743. The residence faces East and West with views out over its own grounds, and is nestled close to the River North Esk. The house has been continuously well-maintained throughout its long history, allowing the building to be adapted for modern living while retaining its fine character and features. Since being acquired by the sellers, it has benefitted from further improvements.
The current owners have renovated and modernised the wing, creating wonderful extra accommodation that can be used independently or incorporated within the main house. The house includes original pine panelling and doors, the long gallery at first floor level and the magnificent ornate plaster ceiling in the drawing room, as well as cornices in all the main rooms. The adjoining lands and buildings provides a stunning setting for the house. Gallery now comprises a small estate, which includes Gallery Home Farm, with a useful income, arable land and amenity
woodland, beside the river North Esk. The well renowned gardens have featured in many magazines and been opened by appointment and for charity days for Scotland’s Garden Scheme.
Extending to 82 acres, including 65 acres of agricultural land. The house is situated close to the River North Esk.
The colourful herbaceous borders, clipped hedges and closely-mown lawns contribute to a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. Gallery’s grounds include a new orchard of crab apple and prunus, laid out in a grid, with paths mown through a meadow of spring bulbs and wildflowers. Behind the walled garden is an area of recently planted woodland interspersed by lawns. There is a large paddock behind the house, other arable fields are currently contracted out to a local farmer. Surrounding the house and down the north driveway and along the bank of the North Esk River are beautiful mature woodlands which help create a wonderful feel for this special property.
Outbuildings
Located behind Gallery is a beautiful south-facing Coach House built in 1743 of stone under a slate roof.
