Inverkeilor, Arbroath, DD11

Lunan Bank Farm Nr. Inverkeilor DD11 4UR

This is a prime development opportunity located off the B965 road near Inverkeilor, it was formerly a brownfield site with farm steadings (which have been demolished and cleared away) and is around 4,800m2 in size which would allow the site to be easily split into four generous sized plots. An ideal location for a small residential development with a southern aspect and superb views of the surrounding farmland. Located close to Inverkeilor there is straightforward access to the A92 road linking to Arbroath (5.5miles) and Montrose (8miles).

This is a superb rural setting for escaping the hustle and bustle of town living yet close enough to enjoy the convenience and benefits which Arbroath’s shopping, schooling, and business facilities have to offer only a ten-minute drive away. Arbroath and Montrose offer a wide selection of retail, supermarket, social and leisure facilities, both towns have a railway station with rail links available to the major employment centres located at Aberdeen, Dundee and beyond. Situated to the east of Lunan Bank Farmhouse off the B965 road and near the village of Inverkeilor Thorntons are pleased to introduce such a development site which has planning approval in principle for multiple dwellings . Previously planning approval was granted (circa 2009) to convert the steadings into four residential properties and to create an additional detached dwelling however since this planning was approved the former steadings have been demolished and the site cleared around 2019 when a further application for redeveloping the site was submitted.

The total size is around 4,800m2 or 1.18 acres with planning approval in principle (reference:  23/000103/PPPL from 28th March 2023) to develop the site for residential use. It is anticipated subject to detailed planning approval the site is suitable for as many as 4 dwellings each with an estimated plot area in the region of 1200m2.

The location of the site provides excellent connectivity, with straightforward access onto the A92 and a position roughly midway between the Angus towns of Arbroath and Montrose – both less than 15 minutes away by car. These towns offer a wide range of shopping facilities, supermarkets, leisure centres, and schooling at both primary and secondary levels.

Closer to home, the nearby village of Inverkeilor has a well-regarded primary school and a popular children’s nursery, making it a convenient option for families. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the spectacular sandy expanse of Lunan Bay Beach is just a short drive away, offering a stunning setting for walks, picnics, and water activities.

For commuters, Arbroath train station provides regular services north towards Aberdeen and south towards Dundee, Perth, and Edinburgh, ensuring easy access to key employment centres while still enjoying the benefits of a quieter, rural setting. The surrounding landscape is characterised by open countryside and farmland, giving the development a peaceful and scenic backdrop.
