Midmar, Inverurie, AB51

An extremely rare opportunity has arisen and we are delighted to offer to the market this absolutely stunning four bedroomed period cottage, set in an idyllic and very tranquil rural location, that commands impressive views and endless country walks with direct access from the property. “Rough Haugh” has been the much loved family home of the current owners for around 20 years and this reluctant sale offers any potential buyer a lifestyle some can only dream of. It is set within approximately 2.3 acres of pretty gardens, wild meadows and woodland where you can relax, unwind and marvel at the local wildlife and wide variety of bird species. The cottage has also been sympathetically extended and upgraded, so now offers exceptionally versatile accommodation over two levels that oozes characterful charm that is perfectly mixed with more modern finishes. It benefits from air source heat pump, quality double glazing, two wood burning stoves and also boasts a very large garage and workshop, along with external hook up for a generator. We highly recommend early viewing of this premium property but be prepared to fall in love.
