WE bring you the most exciting property on the market this week...

Carlogie House Carnoustie Price: £725,000 (fixed price)

Agents: Blackadders

Carlogie House at Carnoustie, Angus, on the market through agents Blackadders with a £725,000 price, should fit the bill for two main groups of buyers - those seeking a grand mansion in Angus and those after a property with development potential.

This Victorian mansion, which was formerly a hotel, overlooks Carnoustie and has been carefully renovated with many of its fine period details retained, such as its beautiful ornate ceilings.

Set in about two acres - and complete with a nine-hole putting green - the accommodation includes four public rooms, a conservatory, 13 bedrooms, all with en suite facilities, as well as a kitchen, bathroom, a still room and laundry and even a beer-wine cellar.

But Carlogie could also be a good buy for those seeking a place with development potential. As the agents point out, consent has been granted to convert Carlogie into four homes, each with its own garden as well as shared use of the remaining grounds.

Best bit: The great location, panoramic views over the town, and a putting green.
Worst bit: Although it could become an upmarket country house, 13-bedroom Carlogie is probably too large for the role of conventional family home.
