Bolshan, Angus
Description:
The title, Baron of Kelly in Angus, is available by separate negotiation. Further details are available on request. Kelly Castle is a hugely impressive Scottish Fortified Tower House. Grade “B” listed by Historic Environment Scotland, the listing notes on their website describe the castle as a “four-storey towerhouse l-plan, single-storey ranges enclosing small entrance court. Rubble and slate. Mainly 16th and 17th century, restored about 1870. ” Major renovations and modifications by the current owners were completed in 2009. As currently configured, the castle has 5 double bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, as well as a 2 bedroomed Estate Manager’s flat with kitchen, bathroom and a private entrance and a separate self-contained staff flat with bedroom, living room, kitchenette/diner and shower room. As you would expect, the rooms are resplendent and retain many original features such as decorative plasterwork, with some of the rooms enjoying views over the walled gardens and out to the North Sea in the distance. There are numerous public rooms, which include a basement bar, snooker room and cinema room. Its position and layout will suit a variety of buyers, particularly as a large family home and those with an interest in golf. The owners constructed a private nine hole golf course, and the castle is within close proximity of both Carnoustie golf course which has hosted The Open, and the home of golf at St Andrews. Archives suggest that Philip de Moubray, a Norman settler, obtained lands in Angus from William the Lion, King of Scotland. He was an important noble in Scotland as he witnessed many of the king’s charters and was often employed in State affairs. It is probable that he was the first builder of a tower or castle on the south bank of the Elliot water, although the current tower was most probably built in the fifteenth century. Records show that in 1208 the Abbot and Convent of Arbroath granted to Philip de Moubray liberty to have an Oratory. Still available at ListedBuy!
