Nestled in the tranquil village of Hatton, just 7 miles north of Ellon, this traditional five-bedroom home, originally constructed in 1910 from locally sourced pink granite, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Originally built for two seamstress sisters and later serving as a bank, the property carries a rich history and architectural charm that can be enhanced with thoughtful updates.
Set on more than a third of an acre, Burnbank is enveloped by serene woodland gardens on two sides, providing both privacy and natural beauty. The garden's diverse flora includes bluebells and ancient fruit trees, contributing to the property's appealing outdoor space. Additionally, a spacious outbuilding currently functioning as an office has its own entrance and access from the rear garden. This versatile space could easily be reconfigured for additional living quarters or even as a rental unit, offering potential for supplementary income.
Entering through the front door leads to a welcoming porch that prepares you for the impressive open hallway beyond. The ground floor features original period details such as deep skirtings and covings alongside modern conveniences. The lounge, adorned with an original slate fire surround and cast iron fireplace provides a charming gathering spot while maintaining its historical character.
Adjacent to the lounge is a flexible second sitting room that overlooks the rear garden through French doors. This room’s fitted shelving allows it to function as either a study or library depending on your needs. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the spacious kitchen and dining area, showcasing modern appliances amidst period-appropriate design. Its layout encourages communal cooking and dining experiences while incorporating features that reflect its heritage.
The utility room complements the kitchen with practical storage solutions and appliances necessary for contemporary living. A well-fitted cloakroom enhances convenience on this level.
The property also benefits from extensive basement space currently used for storage but with excellent potential for conversion into livable areas due to its direct access to the driveway and windows allowing natural light.
Ascending to the first floor reveals five generously sized bedrooms that cater to various lifestyle needs—two doubles at the rear enjoy peaceful views while one master bedroom features ample fitted wardrobes. A fifth bedroom offers possibilities as a nursery or dressing room due to its adjoining layout with the master suite.
Outdoor spaces abound with fully enclosed gardens featuring multiple seating areas ideal for enjoying warmer months or hosting gatherings. The substantial driveway accommodates up to five vehicles, seamlessly blending practicality with accessibility.
