About the Property

Set on one of Broughty Ferry’s most sought after waterfront streets, this elegant villa on Douglas Terrace enjoys wide views across the River Tay. Like many classic Scottish coastal homes, the property combines historic character with modern comfort, creating a welcoming and spacious place to stay.

The house has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully styled, offering generous living space and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you are visiting for a short break or a longer stay, it provides a comfortable base for exploring Broughty Ferry, Dundee and the surrounding coastline.

With four double bedrooms and plenty of space throughout, the property works well for families or groups looking for a coastal stay close to the city.

Living Space and Bedrooms

The home offers four spacious double bedrooms, each designed with comfort in mind. Soft furnishings, natural light and generous space create a calm setting for a restful night.

The main living room is bright and welcoming, with large windows that frame the river views and bring natural light into the space. Comfortable seating makes it an ideal place to relax after a day out exploring the local area.

Location

Douglas Terrace sits along the shoreline in Broughty Ferry, one of the most desirable coastal areas near Dundee. The town centre is just a short walk away, where you will find independent shops, cafés, restaurants and local galleries.

Broughty Castle, overlooking the Tay, offers an insight into the town’s history and its origins as a fishing village. Nearby sandy beaches and coastal paths provide opportunities for walks along the waterfront.

The area is also well placed for golf, with well known courses including Carnoustie and St Andrews within easy reach, alongside several excellent local courses.

Incredible place

This place was better than we imagined. All 4 of us kept commenting on how spacious and well appointed this house was. From the fully equipped kitchen to the large bedrooms this had it all. Beautiful backyard and amazing views of the water. Perfectly located for our golfing with lots of restaurants and pubs within walking distance. The parking was easy and check-in was seamless. Thank you for letting us stay at your incredible place!

Chance to breathe, relax and reset

Villa by the Sea offered the perfect opportunity to step back from busy lives and spend time with friends. The accomodation was exceptionally as was the location . Broughty Ferry has lots to offer from independent shops , cafes and wine bars/pubs . The whole experience was exceptional, with the service from the agent adding to this. More bar seats in the kitchen, as this was often the hub where we congregated. These could be stackable so they could be stored when not in use.
