Description

Enjoying a private, secluded position at the very end of a quiet single-track lane, this 3 bedroom detached house is approximately 20 years old and offers a fantastic opportunity for modernisation.

The property is set within grounds of approximately 2 ½ acres in a lovely rural location, yet is just a short drive away from the sought-after Speyside village of Aberlour.

The grounds have the shell of the former smiddy, featuring a large stone outbuilding, which offers excellent potential for conversion into a dwelling (subject to planning permission and consents).

Accommodation comprises an Entrance Vestibule, Hallway, Lounge, Kitchen / Diner, Utility Room, a Ground Floor W.C Cloakroom and a Ground Floor Double Bedroom.

The 1st Floor comprises 2 further Double Bedrooms and a Bathroom.

Grounds
The grounds extend to approximately 2.5 acres including mature fruit trees and a burn on the boundary of the east side of the property.

The remains of what was the smiddy to the right of the property currently provide ample storage.
To the left of the property there is a stone and slate building which again provides good storage space. These outbuildings have excellent potential for development (subject to planning consents required and obtained).

There is also a metal corrugated storage shed/garage to the front of the property with a small office, and an adjoining potting / summer house shed in front of it.

Note 1
All light fittings & floor coverings are to remain.

The property is being sold in its current state with the boiler in a non-operational condition, along with all items that are present in the outbuildings.

Note 2
We believe that the grounds extend to approximately 2.5 acres in size, however clients would need to satisfy their own enquiries to confirm this.
