Description

7.5 Acres, Steading & Stables – A Rare Turriff Lifestyle Opportunity

Low & Partners presents you with East Backhill of Lethenty, Turriff. This attractive rural property offers 129m² of accommodation and comes with an impressive 7.5 acres of land, making it an exceptional opportunity for equestrian buyers, hobby farmers or anyone seeking space, privacy and a countryside lifestyle. The land is divided into a fully fenced three acre field and a separate four acre field which is partially fenced, providing flexibility for grazing, animals or future use. The grounds also include an L shaped steading with power and light, incorporating stabling, a tack room, and further outbuildings including a hay barn.

The home itself is warm, bright and welcoming. The entrance hallway offers a lovely first impression, with laminate flooring, natural light and access through to the utility area and WC. The utility room is fitted with wall and base cabinetry, a sink, ample space for appliances and practical lighting. The WC includes a toilet, wash hand basin, radiator and window.

The kitchen and dining room form a comfortable and sociable space, with wall and base cabinetry, dual aspect windows, a range cooker and a multi fuel stove. There is generous room for a dining table, along with good lighting and a radiator. The main lounge is a particularly charming room, offering a large, inviting space with exposed beams, an open fire, a window to the front, lighting and a radiator.

A lovely sunroom sits to the rear, filled with natural light and enjoying views over the land. Patio doors lead directly onto the outdoor patio area, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The bathroom has been newly installed and includes a bath with shower above, wash hand basin with cabinetry, shelving, modern lighting and a heated radiator.

The upper landing is a long, bright hallway leading to three bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are generous doubles, each with a window, lighting and radiator. The middle bedroom is smaller but still a good size, with a window overlooking the front of the property, lighting and radiator.

Externally, the L shaped steading provides two to three stone built stables, a tack room and excellent storage. The hay barn and tin barn add further versatility, and the full 7.5 acres offer outstanding potential for equestrian use, livestock or simply enjoying the space and privacy of rural living.

East Backhill of Lethenty is a rare find — a home with character, land, outbuildings and endless possibilities, all set within the beautiful Aberdeenshire countryside.
