Presenting a remarkable opportunity, The Old Rectory is a spacious five-bedroom residence that invites renovation enthusiasts and investors alike to unleash its full potential. Extending across four expansive floors and totaling 379 square meters, this character-rich home offers an enviable canvas for those looking to create either a luxurious family dwelling or a multi-use space within the historic heart of Banff.
Upon entering through elegant wrought iron gates, you are welcomed by the property’s grand façade which hints at its historical charm. While the interior requires extensive updating, it boasts generous room dimensions and a flexible layout that could easily accommodate modern living standards. Currently featuring three bathrooms, a terrace, and ample parking, the groundwork is laid for creating something extraordinary in this prime location.
The ground floor showcases a welcoming vestibule leading into a sizable entrance hall connecting to multiple reception areas, including a bright dining room with an open fireplace and an inviting public room with another traditional fire feature — both perfect for family gatherings. The cozy back lounge opens out onto private decking, ideal for outdoor relaxation.
The kitchen presents significant scope for redesign; currently equipped but dated, it can be transformed into a contemporary culinary space fit for today's lifestyle. A conveniently placed ground floor bathroom adds functional value to this level.
Upstairs, find four spacious bedrooms on the first floor; the master suite includes en suite facilities and overlooks the rear garden. Additionally, all rooms offer light-filled spaces that could greatly benefit from modern decor enhancements. The attic level features three interconnected rooms ripe for conversion into additional bedrooms or creative workspaces.
Noteworthy is the self-contained lower ground floor with separate access – comprising a lounge, kitchen, bathroom, utility area and bedroom, it presents opportunities for conversion into guest accommodation or even rental income potential (subject to consents).
The exterior is equally captivating with an enclosed front garden and a vast rear garden providing ample scope for landscaping or recreational use. The property is attractively priced below its Home Report valuation reflecting the need for renovation – making this an excellent investment opportunity in one of Banff's most desirable locations.
