Description

This traditional end-terrace property, dating back to approximately 1900, spans three levels and presents an excellent opportunity for renovation. While it is currently livable, the home requires a thoughtful upgrade to unlock its full potential. With strategic improvements, it could serve as an attractive holiday home or Airbnb, capitalizing on the popularity of Gardenstown and its surroundings among year-round visitors. The layout features a welcoming vestibule that leads into a spacious open-plan living area, enhanced by dual-aspect windows that fill the space with natural light. The kitchen is equipped with a mix of wall and base-mounted units along with both integrated and standalone appliances, providing a solid foundation for culinary endeavors. The neutral color palette throughout the living spaces pairs well with the characterful bare brick feature wall and a cozy wood-burning stove, setting the stage for comfortable living. Accessed by an open staircase from the lounge, the first floor consists of two versatile box rooms fitted with bunk beds, allowing for creative adaptation based on future needs. An attic conversion on the top level reveals a generously-sized double bedroom featuring a bay window that offers distant views of the Moray Firth—an appealing aspect that enhances its charm. With full double glazing and electric storage heating already in place, this property provides essential amenities while presenting opportunities for further enhancements. The electricity supply is managed by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, while water and sewerage services are provided by Scottish Water. Although broadband and mobile coverage are limited in this area, investing in modern connectivity solutions could significantly increase appeal to potential renters or guests. Given its location in a desirable tourist area and its inherent renovation possibilities, this property stands as a worthwhile investment for those looking to make their mark in Gardenstown's real estate market.
