Description

Nestled in the desirable area of Durris, this traditional four-bedroom farmhouse spans three levels and offers a generous gross internal floor area of 247sqm. While the property currently requires modernisation throughout, it presents a prime opportunity for those looking to create a bespoke family home tailored to their taste. The flexible layout features multiple reception rooms on the ground floor, along with a kitchen complete with scullery, living area, and shower room. The first floor accommodates two bedrooms, one with an adjoining dressing room, as well as a bathroom and two additional attic rooms in the rear wing. The second floor includes two further bedrooms. Outside, the property boasts a gravelled front area leading to a hedged lawn and small woodland, providing great potential for landscaping and outdoor enhancements. Although some outbuildings are excluded from the sale, there is an adjoining small outbuilding included at the rear. With the nearest primary school located just half a mile away and Banchory’s array of amenities within easy reach, this farmhouse combines rural tranquility with convenience. This property offers significant renovation potential for buyers willing to invest in transforming it into a modern dwelling.
