Description

Nestled in a tranquil rural setting just minutes from the charming coastal town of Stonehaven, this traditional stone-built cottage offers a unique opportunity for those looking to create a bespoke home. 4 Uras Cottage requires modernisation throughout but features generously proportioned living spaces filled with natural light, presenting tremendous potential for enhancement. The property is accessed via an inner hallway leading to the main living room. The spacious kitchen, located at the rear, is fitted with a range of wall and base units, complemented by a large pantry for excellent storage. An external door provides direct access to the garden grounds. A versatile ground-floor room, currently used as a bedroom, could easily serve as a second public room and enjoys pleasant views over the garden. The ground floor is completed by a family bathroom. A staircase leads to the first-floor landing, where two well-proportioned double bedrooms await, both benefiting from attractive open views across the surrounding countryside. With its desirable location, traditional stone construction, and exciting potential, 4 Uras Cottage presents a rare chance to craft a charming country home within easy reach of Stonehaven's excellent amenities. The property boasts generous garden grounds and includes a detached single garage, with a gate providing access to the parking area. This is an ideal canvas for those looking to invest in a property with character and scope for personalisation.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

79out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £185,000, this detached stone cottage is priced at about £136/sq ft, well below the local average of £224/sq ft—a strong entry point for a buyer looking to create value. Its traditional character, countryside outlook and generous garden provide a distinctive canvas, while the fitted kitchen appears comparatively modern and serviceable. The visible work is mainly cosmetic: updating worn carpets and dated finishes, refreshing the bathroom and tidying the garden. The stone exterior and slate roof appear generally intact in the available views.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the living spaces and upper-floor finishes, including replacing or updating the worn carpets.
  • Update the visibly dated bathroom while retaining the comparatively modern, serviceable fitted kitchen.
  • Make the most of the generous enclosed garden, countryside outlook, detached garage and parking.
