Presenting an exceptional renovation opportunity on the stunning Buchan coastline in Aberdeenshire, this property, formerly a school and now known as Longhaven Castle, offers unique potential for transformation. Nestled within a picturesque village setting, the red granite structure boasts planning permission (Reference: App/2025/0190) for conversion into an expansive six-bedroom family home with an additional self-contained granny flat. This generous 1,800 m² plot is bordered by traditional granite walls, ensuring both privacy and character, and is located just half a mile from the scenic Longhaven Cliffs Nature Reserve. The rich history surrounding the area is enhanced by nearby landmarks, including Slains Castle, which echoes a legacy of inspiration dating back to Bram Stoker. The property consists of three interconnected buildings: the original one-storey schoolhouse with its charming timber-pitched roof, an adjacent single-storey school building that retains architectural integrity, and a more modern rear extension that provides added flexibility for design innovation. Internally, while the space currently features various finishes and basic heating provisions, it awaits reimagining into a vibrant residence. Outside, ample parking and mature landscaping present further opportunities for enhancement and outdoor living spaces. Strategically located near major transport routes yet enveloped in natural beauty, Longhaven Castle represents not just a property but a blank canvas enriched with potential for residential or investment ventures in one of Scotland's most beloved coastal locales.
