About this property

About the Property

Whinny Brae is a bright and spacious apartment set within a beautifully restored Edwardian building in Broughty Ferry. Once a primary school, the building retains elegant Art Nouveau architecture and generous proportions, giving the apartment a wonderful sense of light and space.

Now known as The Eastern Residences, the development blends the character of the original sandstone building with modern living. Large windows fill the rooms with natural light, while the stylish interior creates a relaxed coastal atmosphere.

With private parking, attractive shared gardens and a location just minutes from the beach and town centre, Whinny Brae provides a comfortable base for exploring this popular seaside area.

Living Space and Bedrooms

The apartment is arranged across two levels, making clever use of a mezzanine layout for the two double bedrooms upstairs. Glass detailing helps maintain the sense of openness while ensuring the bedrooms remain quiet and private.

On the ground floor you will find a large open plan living space designed for relaxing and spending time together. Comfortable sofas provide a welcoming place to unwind, while the dining table seats six for shared meals.

At the top of the stairs there is also a small desk area, useful if you need to catch up on emails or write a few postcards during your stay.

Kitchen and Dining

The modern kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed for preparing meals. Clean lines and quality fittings create a practical and stylish space for self catering.

There is also a large pantry area and a useful utility room, offering additional storage space for items such as luggage, bikes or golf clubs.

The main bathroom is located on the ground floor and includes both a bath and a shower. An additional shower room upstairs provides extra convenience for guests.

A beautiful location to stay

Our stay at this apartment was lovely, the listing is as it describes. We stayed 3 weeks which is a long time, everything was clean and we had everything we needed. We were not able to change the sheets as there were no spare and we had to get a second set of towels as there was no dryer to dry them after washing and they would have not been nice to use after drying on the horse. Otherwise, a lovey apartment and definitely would recommend staying at this location.
