Property overview

We are delighted to bring to the market this two bedroom, detached, single storey property.  The striking former steading is believed to date back to 1865 and has been tastefully and sensitively converted to form a charming dwelling in the heart of rural Aberdeenshire.  Featuring vaulted ceilings in all rooms except the bathroom, the property offers generously proportioned, well laid out and well presented accommodation throughout.

The property is further enhanced externally by off road parking for several cars to the front and a fully enclosed rear garden with summerhouse, lawn, patio and chicken run.

From the kitchen, a door opens to an internal hallway which gives access to the garden and leads to the lounge and shower room. The hallway provides storage in a shelved cupboard where the electricity apparatus is located.

The lounge is of generous proportions allowing for the placement of a variety of furnishings. It is another bright and inviting room with a triple aspect allowing for lots of natural light.  Bi-fold doors open fully to allow access to the patio which is ideally positioned for al-fresco entertaining.

The bathroom is conveniently positioned in the middle of the home.  It comprises a traditional style bath with shower attachment, a corner shower cubicle, wash hand basin set on a wooden plinth, WC and window.

Returning to the dining kitchen, a hallway branches off and gives access to two double bedrooms with fitted storage facilities.
