Seven cottages that would make very special north-east homes

Post Thumbnail

There are many types of properties on the market, from new builds to Scottish castles.

Cottages seem to occupy a special place in everyone’s hearts whatever your preference is.

We take a look at the north-east market and found seven that are definitely worth a visit.

1) Croy Cottage, 9 Queens Road, Boddam

A stunning property doesn’t always have to come with a high price tag. You could own this impressive beauty for less than £100,000.

Not only is this cottage in a picturesque setting where you can enjoy beautiful views, it will also interest those looking for a property with some history.

The listed semi-detached can be found in the coastal village of Boddam and only a short walk from the rugged coastline and Buchaness Lighthouse.

It has been sympathetically upgraded and has a kitchen, dining room, lounge, shower room and bedroom.

It’s on the market for offers over £97,000 with Aberdein Considine.

2) 1 Ardo Cottage, Methlick

This two bedroom semi-detached cottage oozes charm and character. It is one of those properties that impress from the moment you arrive at the end of the driveway.

Gorgeous inside and out, this is the perfect countryside home but is also within commuting distance to Aberdeen, Ellon and Turriff.

Highlights include the shaker style kitchen, cosy lounge with coal effect gas fire, two good sized bedrooms and a sun porch / dining room where you can enjoy all the amazing views.

It could be yours for offers over £180,000 and is on the market with Iain Smith Solicitors.

3) 2 Cotbank Of Barras Cottages, Stonehaven

If you want to get the most from your budget, head out of the city. But those who want to stay close to the Granite City won’t have to go far to find a great home for an ever greater price.

Take this three bedroom detached cottage – it could be yours for a fixed price of £220,000.

This quaint home sits in a lovely spot in well-cared for grounds while inside you’ll find a lounge with open fire, a recently-fitted kitchen, three double bedrooms plus generous fully floored loft space with power and light.

It’s on the market with Aberdein Considine.

4) Newton Of Mounie Cottage, Daviot, Inverurie

Newton Of Mounie is not your typical cottage. This is a one-of-a-kind, architecturally designed cottage – and it’s on the market for offers over £330,000.

As well as an exceptionally impressive four bedroom home, your money will also get you a garage, car port and studio.

Lovely panoramic views are one of the many features of note with this home. Visitors will also be impressed with the floor to ceiling windows and French glazed doors to the gardens in the lounge, the stylish dining kitchen and the vaulted ceiling in the self-contained bedroom.

Here you can enjoy the ultimate in rural living as well as be commuting distance to Aberdeen, Inverurie and Oldmeldrum.

Speak to Raeburn Christie Clark & Wallace for more information.

5) 1 Pilot Square, Footdee

The chance to live in one of the most historic parts of Aberdeen are few and far between.

So you better act fast if you’ve always wanted to live in Footdee – pronounced Fittie for those not familiar with this part of the north-east.

The delightful former fishing village is located at the entrance to Aberdeen Harbour. Steeped in local history, this picturesque village provides a mixture of terraced and flatted dwellings set around two squares with communal gardens and individual outhouses.

Number 1 Pilot Square is a great example of the high quality of homes available here.

This two bedroom cottage has been refurbished but still retains many fine period features – the perfect blend of old and new.

There’s a warm lounge with a newly installed wood burning stove, open plan kitchen, a master bedroom and second bedroom. Completing the home is a stylish bathroom.

And best of all, it could be yours for offers over £180,000. It’s on the market with Simpson and Marwick.

6) 1 Deystone Cottages, Kintore

If you are looking to move to Kintore and have a budget for under £200,000, this home could be the right one for you.

The two-bedroom semi-detached cottage would be perfect for first time buyers or a couple looking for more room. It has a good sized lounge, kitchen and bathroom plus a large driveway mainly laid with stone chips and a double garage.

From here, you could easily commute to Inveruie, Huntly and Aberdeen.

It’s on the market for offers over £170,000 with Aberdein Considine.

7) Greenbank, Meikle Wartle

Most people have a favourite room in their house but I can imagine whoever ends up living here will have a tough time picking just one.

Greenbank has been extended and upgraded by the current owners into a very special family home.

It offers plenty of space and has some great rooms including the dining kitchen with oil fired Rayburn cooker, master bedroom with en suite bathroom and a charming sitting room.

The five bedroom cottage is surrounded by fairytale-like grounds which have many attractive features such as a large paved patio area and an ornamental pond. There is also a double car port and double garage.

Raeburn, Christie, Clark & Wallace are selling this outstanding home and are asking for offers over £345,000.
