Description

Nestled in the charming village of Fordyce, this three-bedroom property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Just two miles from the Moray Coast and the serene beach at Sandend, this location benefits from stunning natural surroundings, including long sandy shores and diverse wildlife. The area is well-regarded for its recreational amenities, such as golf and angling, making it an attractive choice for outdoor enthusiasts. Fordyce is conveniently situated between Cullen and Portsoy, both towns offering a variety of dining and shopping options. Nearby Buckie and Banff provide access to major supermarkets and independent shops, while Elgin offers even broader retail choices. The proximity of Aberdeen and Inverness adds to the appeal for those commuting to larger urban centers. Families will appreciate the local primary school located just meters from the property, with secondary schooling available in Banff. The internal layout features a welcoming hall that connects to a lounge with patio doors leading out to the rear garden, providing a good foundation for potential updates or reconfiguration. The spacious dining kitchen offers room for improvement; it includes base units and countertop space, along with windows that invite natural light from both front and back gardens. On the ground floor, there is also a bathroom fitted with a white three-piece suite and an additional bedroom overlooking the front yard. A carpeted staircase leads to the first floor where you'll find two generous double bedrooms; one includes an ensuite shower room equipped with essential facilities. Both bedrooms offer window views of the rear garden and surrounding countryside. Outside, the property sits on a substantial plot featuring a garden predominantly laid to lawn interspersed with mature trees and plantings—perfect for someone looking to enhance their outdoor space or develop it further. A wooden shed provides additional storage solutions. With its need for modernization paired with desirable location features, this property holds significant renovation potential that could transform it into a comfortable family home or an attractive rental investment.
