Description
This is an excellent opportunity to design and build your own home and create a manageable smallholding for growing crops or grazing animals. The location is very accessible, yet positioned amongst the quiet and beautiful rolling Aberdeenshire countryside. The house site extends to around 0.54 of an acre and planning in principle was granted by Aberdeenshire Council on the 21st December 2022 for the erection of a single dwellinghouse. The planning can be reviewed under application number APP/2022/2277. The 4 acres of land immediately adjoins the house site to the south. The seller is open to consider selling the house site & land separately. Please contact us for more information.
SITUATION
The land and development site are situated 2 miles North-West of Drumlithie in the beautiful Aberdeenshire countryside. The local village of Drumlithie has a primary school and a shop. Stonehaven is only 7.5 miles away and provides a wide range of local amenities, together with shops, coffee shops and restaurants together with community centre and swimming pool. Furthermore, there are several first-class golf courses and sporting activities in the area. The area is well resourced in terms of agricultural infrastructure, being well served by a number of grain merchants, agricultural suppliers and machinery dealers, in addition to the Machinery Ring. Auction marts can be found in Inverurie and Forfar with modern abattoirs being situated at Inverurie and Portlethen. Both lots benefit from extensive road frontage.
SERVICES
We understand both lots have a connection in place to a shared private water supply. A water meter will be installed for each supply and any future owner should expect to be charged for their water usage and contribute to maintenance. Electricity is close by and it’s the responsibility of interested parties to investigate the availability and cost of utility services to the individual site and capacities thereof.
