Description

Your Rural Dream Starts Here - Two Homes, Five Acres, Endless Possibilities
The Perfect Setup for Multi-Generational Family Living

Low & Partners are delighted to present Lootcherbrae, Aberchirder

Set within approximately five acres of fully fenced land in a peaceful rural setting, Lootcherbrae offers a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire not one, but two detached properties together with a wide range of outbuildings, workshops and additional accommodation. Whether you are seeking multi-generational living, space for animals, equestrian pursuits, smallholding potential, holiday accommodation, or the opportunity to develop a home-based business, this versatile and unique property delivers exceptional potential in abundance.

The property comprises a spacious four-bedroom main residence and a detached one-bedroom bungalow, both enjoying their own character and appeal whilst benefiting from the extensive grounds surrounding them. The bungalow has successfully operated as a holiday rental for many years, offering an excellent income stream for previous owners. The current licence has now expired and any purchaser wishing to continue this use would be required to apply for the relevant permissions and licences.

Approached through its generous grounds, Lootcherbrae immediately impresses with the space on offer. The land is fully enclosed, making it ideal for those with horses, livestock, dogs or other animals, while the extensive outbuildings provide fantastic storage, workshop or business-use opportunities. Included within the sale is a one-bedroom caravan, complete with power, light and water connections, adding further flexibility for family use, guest accommodation or ancillary purposes.

The detached bungalow offers comfortable single-level living and enjoys wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. Internally, the accommodation comprises an entrance area with space for outerwear, leading into a central hallway providing access to all rooms and benefitting from useful storage cupboards. The spacious lounge and dining area is flooded with natural light from dual-aspect windows and features sliding patio doors opening onto the patio area, creating the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining while enjoying the stunning backdrop of the surrounding landscape. The modern kitchen is fitted with an attractive range of wall and base units complemented by contrasting worktops and benefits from integrated cooking facilities and white goods. The generous double bedroom provides ample space for freestanding furniture and includes a fitted double wardrobe, whilst the contemporary shower room features a walk-in shower, wash hand basin, WC and additional storage.

The main residence provides spacious family accommodation arranged over two levels and is perfectly suited to growing families. A welcoming porch entrance with windows surrounding the space creates a bright and inviting introduction to the home. The ground floor accommodation includes a modern shower room, a spacious lounge with sliding doors opening into a delightful conservatory, and a charming country-style kitchen fitted with a range of white cabinetry, contrasting worktops, integrated appliances and excellent storage including a larder unit. There is also a versatile office which could equally serve as a fourth bedroom, together with a generously sized double bedroom complete with fitted wardrobes. Upstairs, the property offers two further double bedrooms along with substantial storage facilities, including a large walk-in cupboard and additional storage space above the stairwell.

Externally, the property's impressive grounds are what truly set Lootcherbrae apart. The variety of outbuildings includes a substantial workshop and shed offering extensive floorspace and exciting potential for a range of uses. The building previously benefited from three-phase electricity, although any new owner should note that the meters have now been removed and power would require reinstatement. Further workshops, a tack room, timber sheds, a tool shed and additional storage buildings provide a wealth of options for hobbyists, tradespeople, animal owners or those looking to operate a business from home. A separate shed adjacent to the main house benefits from power and lighting and offers valuable additional storage or utility space.

Properties offering this level of flexibility, land and potential are increasingly rare to find. Lootcherbrae represents a fantastic opportunity for families wishing to live together whilst maintaining independent accommodation, buyers with equestrian or animal interests, those seeking income-generating opportunities, or anyone looking to enjoy rural living with extensive space both inside and out.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this unique property has to offer.

Viewings are strictly by appointment only. Please refrain from visiting or accessing the property without a pre-arranged appointment.
