Description
Rare Rural Restoration Opportunity with 20 Acres and Extensive Outbuildings
Low & Partners presents Sessnie Croft, Methlick, a traditional detached four-bedroom farmhouse set within approximately 20 acres (8 hectares) of land in a peaceful rural location, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial country property with significant potential for redevelopment, renovation and lifestyle use.
Situated around 2 miles from the village of Methlick and approximately 9 miles from the thriving town of Ellon, the property enjoys a private countryside setting whilst remaining within reasonable reach of a wide range of everyday amenities, schooling, leisure facilities and transport links. The surrounding landscape provides an attractive rural backdrop, making this an appealing prospect for those seeking a country lifestyle, smallholding opportunities or an extensive refurbishment project.
Extending to approximately 214 square metres, the farmhouse is understood to have been extended over 30 years ago and now offers generous family accommodation arranged over two floors. The property is currently in poor condition and requires a comprehensive programme of modernisation, upgrading and repair throughout. As such, it presents an excellent opportunity for purchasers to redesign and improve the accommodation to suit their own requirements, subject to any necessary consents.
The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, living room, study, sitting room, and a dining kitchen arranged on a semi open-plan layout. There is also a ground floor bedroom together with a bathroom fitted with WC. On the first floor, the accommodation provides a further three bedrooms and a second bathroom with WC.
In addition to the main dwellinghouse, the property benefits from a number of outbuildings which may offer a variety of uses, subject to condition and any appropriate permissions. The surrounding land extends to approximately 20 acres (8 hectares) or thereby and is understood to form part of the sale, although interested parties should satisfy themselves as to the exact extent of the property with reference to the Title Deeds.
Sessnie Croft represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial rural property with extensive acreage, traditional character and considerable scope for enhancement. Whether as a family home, equestrian property, smallholding or rural lifestyle project, the property offers outstanding potential in a desirable Aberdeenshire countryside location.
Viewing is strictly by appointment only through Low & Partners.
