Description

This traditional end-terrace property, built around 1900, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment across its three levels of living space. While the home is currently habitable, it presents significant potential for upgrading to create a desirable residence or vacation rental, particularly given the appeal of Gardenstown and its surroundings as a year-round destination for visitors. The layout begins with a welcoming vestibule that leads into a spacious open-plan living area, featuring dual-aspect windows that fill the space with natural light. The kitchen is equipped with a combination of wall and base-mounted units alongside both integrated and standalone appliances. A neutral color palette enhances the inviting atmosphere, while a striking bare brick feature wall and wood-burning stove add character to the living area. An open staircase ascends to the upper floors where two versatile box rooms are currently configured with bunk beds — ideal for accommodating guests or reimagining into additional living spaces. The top floor boasts an impressive attic conversion that serves as a large double bedroom, complete with a bay window offering distant views of the Moray Firth. This property benefits from full double glazing and electric storage heating, ensuring comfort throughout the year. Its location provides access to essential services from Scottish Water and electricity networks while also presenting opportunities for improved connectivity as mobile coverage continues to develop in the area. As this home undergoes renovation, it not only stands to increase in value but also to become an attractive asset in a sought-after tourist region. The possibilities are abundant for those looking to invest in a space that combines historical charm with modern updates while capitalizing on its prime location.
