**CLOSING DATE - Friday 28th August @ 12 Noon**

Nestled on a hillside halfway between Huntly and Keith, this charming cottage enjoys stunning views over the surrounding Aberdeenshire countryside and beyond.

The property has three bedrooms, two of which are accessible off the stairs in the main hall, with the remaining bedroom in the attic which is reached via the cast iron spiral staircase off the lounge. Sunnyside occupies an extensive area of ground extending to approximately 5 acres or thereby, with fully equipped stables and an adjacent l-shaped barn, and a paddock making this property perfect for equestrian use.
