This unique three-bedroom linked-detached property, originally a granite stone farm building, presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment in a serene rural setting. Located just 11.5 miles from Aberdeen city center and conveniently close to the Westhill business district and Aberdeen Airport, this home combines countryside charm with access to urban amenities.
The property is part of a small group of converted farm structures, offering a blend of historical character and modern living potential. It is particularly appealing for those looking for a family residence in proximity to Aberdeen or the nearby town of Banchory, as well as those seeking a tranquil holiday retreat near the outdoor recreational opportunities of Royal Deeside, which includes fishing, golfing, cycling, and scenic walking trails.
Significantly enhancing its investment appeal, the property has full planning permission granted by Aberdeenshire Council in February 2024 for an extension into an existing stone outbuilding. This proposed addition would create a fourth bedroom or versatile space suitable for use as an office or gym, complete with kitchen facilities, shower room, separate entrance, and an additional garden room area. This flexibility can cater to various needs—from accommodating guests to providing independent living options for relatives or young adults.
Inside, the layout features a welcoming hallway leading to a spacious lounge and large kitchen/diner with utility space. The first floor houses three generous double bedrooms: one with a full ensuite and another with an ensuite WC. Additionally, there is an area on the upper floor that can function as a study or home office.
Outdoor spaces are well thought out with a fully enclosed garden that’s perfect for children or pets, along with a decked area that serves as an inviting place for outdoor dining or relaxation. The attached single garage offers ample storage space along with parking availability for two vehicles at the front.
With nearby amenities including primary education in Drumoak and secondary education options in Banchory alongside access to various restaurants and supermarkets in the surrounding area, this property not only promises potential for thoughtful renovation but also provides significant lifestyle benefits.
