Soyaux Avenue sits within a Betts-built development in Monifieth, built in the early 2000s. Two decades on, the gardens and hedging along the street have had the time to mature, giving it a settled, established feel. Number 1 takes the corner plot, a detached villa with a driveway with an EV charger rising to an integral garage, with room enough for more than one car off the street. Inside, the front door opens onto a hall that runs straight through the house, setting the tone for a layout built with modern family life in mind.

The kitchen diner, modernised and updated, runs the depth of the house, a large room opening through French doors onto a raised deck. French doors mean the deck becomes part of the room the moment the weather allows, whether that's a quick coffee outside or the doors thrown open for a weekend crowd with infrared heaters keeping you going into the night. A separate lounge, with a bay window, gives the house a second reception room of its own. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, four double bedrooms all come with built-in wardrobes, storage sorted in every room rather than just the principal. That bedroom has its own contemporary en-suite, with a large walk-in shower on a thermostatic mixer. The family bathroom is a practical space for the evening routine of a busy household. Gas central heating and UPVC double glazing run throughout.

Outside, the corner plot gives a sunny garden, open on two sides rather than hemmed in by neighbouring boundaries. A high quality summer house sits within it, powered and lit, ready to work from home in or spill weekend plans into.

Monifieth's schooling here is a real draw, Seaview Primary and the high school both close by, reached through a walk across Ashludie Park. The medical centre is equally close, and the beach and esplanade are within easy reach for evenings and weekends. There's a railway station in the town too, a direct run into Dundee for anyone commuting.
