Property overview

We are delighted to bring to the market this unique four bedroom detached converted woollen mill. Originally used for spinning wool on the ground floor, the upper studio was once home to skilled tailors who crafted fine suits for local estates and steam railway companies.  Oozing with charm and character, Mill O’Campfield offers generously proportioned accommodation conducive to modern family living whilst still retaining many original features. 

Conveniently located between Torphins and Banchory, allowing for ease of commute, the property is set within a spacious and well-maintained plot.  Enjoying a south-facing view and a striking rural vista, it benefits from an electric gate providing access to a parking area to one side.  In addition, there is a garage and further off-road parking at the property’s westerly gable.
