Description

This early Victorian property, formerly a bothy (small detached cottage) and historically occupied by farm workers, has been thoughtfully converted into a most comfortable, modern country retreat, yet is only 10 minutes drive from Westhill and 20 minutes from Aberdeen.

It has a bright south facing aspect and is set within extensive secluded grounds overlooking open farmland. It is ideally suited for a professional who is keen on the outdoors yet wishes to live within an easy commuting distance of work and leisure facilities.

The quality of the décor, fixture and fittings is excellent and this delightful cottage must be viewed to appreciate its charm.

The property is well situated for an easy commute to the oil-related offices and industrial complexes located at Westhill, approximately 5 miles away. In addition to the oil presence, Westhill has an excellent large retail park with many quality retailers including Tesco, Marks & Spencer and Costco. Aberdeen is also within easy commuting distance and the Deeside town of Banchory is close by.

Local schooling is well catered for as the property is within the catchment area for Drumoak Primary and Banchory Academy. A school bus would collect and return children living at this address.

There are plenty of outdoor leisure pursuits available in Deeside such as hill walking, trail-biking, fishing, riding, golfing, shooting and skiing and a pleasant local walk or cycle from the property would take you into the policies of nearby Drum Castle.
