Description

This spacious four-bedroom house presents a remarkable opportunity for both family living and investment potential. Set on approximately 0.6 acres, this property offers a blend of comfortable accommodation and unique development possibilities. The former Birnie Inn adjacent to the house has received planning permission for conversion into two separate residences—a four-bedroom home and a two-bedroom unit—providing an excellent avenue for creating rental properties or holiday lets. Nestled in the tranquil hamlet of Birnie, residents can enjoy picturesque views of the surrounding countryside while being conveniently located just a short drive from Elgin, which boasts a comprehensive range of amenities including shops, supermarkets, medical facilities, and diverse dining options. This central location also offers access to recreational activities such as sports centers and golf courses. The house itself is thoughtfully designed over two floors with well-maintained gardens at both the front and rear. It features a welcoming sun room that leads into a hallway providing access to a cozy living room with double-aspect windows and a wood-burning stove, creating an inviting atmosphere. The dining kitchen is generously sized and equipped with essential appliances alongside ample space for family gatherings. The upper level hosts multiple double bedrooms, each offering flexibility for various uses—whether set up for children’s rooms or home offices. The family bathroom is bright and practical, complemented by additional storage solutions throughout the home. Significantly adding to its value is the nearby former Birnie Inn building, which comes with planning permission to transform it into two distinct residences with their own private gardens and parking areas. Detailed plans are available upon request, showcasing how this space can be developed into desirable accommodations. Externally, the property features a substantial gravel parking area accessed directly from the main road. The beautifully tiered gardens enhance outdoor enjoyment while allowing for future development opportunities that could further increase the property's appeal. This combination of comfortable living space and significant renovation potential makes this property an intriguing proposition for both homeowners looking to invest in their future and developers seeking new opportunities.
