This is an ideal opportunity to acquire a former parish church enabling the potential purchaser to create a unique individual home of character in a scenic rural location.Kirkton of Menmuir Church is situated on the edge of the Braes of Angus, 5 miles north west of Brechin where a range of social, leisure and consumer facilities can be found. The Dundee Aberdeen A90 dual carriageway is only a short drive away and connects to major routes north and south. The scenic Angus Glens are on the doorstep and lead to some of the finest countryside in the north east of Scotland and an ideal base for those with an interest in outdoor pursuits with many activities available including hillwalking, fishing and shoots on local estates.
The existence of a church in Menmuir is first mentioned in the late 13th century (a dedication to St Aidan) and two fragments of sculptured cross slabs were found when the walls of the graveyard were demolished in around 1844. The present church was built in the 1840s to replace one built in 1767 (which had replaced a medieval original). The church was built onto the north end of the burial aisle of the Carnegies, dated 1639.
The building is Category 'C' listed. The present owners have installed solar thermal panels.
