Head out west for value

Cheryl Livingstone heads west and finds out just how much more you can get for your money.

It seems there isn’t a day that goes by when there isn’t news about house prices rising in Aberdeen.
The asking price for flats, let alone houses, in the Granite City is enough to make some look elsewhere.

It has been the case historically that your money will stretch that little bit further the farther out of the city you go.

Head to Tough, near Alford, and you could get this four-bedroom detached home with a large detached garage and workshop for offers over £339,000 – that is a price you definitely couldn’t match in the city.

Moss-side Cottage is a great property for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of a city and enjoy the country lifestyle.

As well as a detached garage and workshop, two driveways, three sheds and a greenhouse, the grounds of the house also boast a dry-stone dyke, open views of the surrounding countryside and a garden to enjoy those views from.

Dning Room

The house itself is equally impressive. It has many lovely features and rooms such as the bright and spacious lounge with an archway creating a semi-open-plan layout with the dining room. It has a granite wall with open fire, making it a very cosy room, while a bay window floods it with natural light.

Other rooms of note include the dining kitchen, four large bedrooms, sitting room – which has lots of versatility and could be used for other purposes – plus two bathrooms.

It would make someone a fantastic family home and, given its location, could provide the peace and quiet country lifestyle while still being close enough to plenty of amenities.

Nearby Alford has plenty going on, from Grampian Transport Museum to Haughton Country Park.

It is a wonderful village with a host of attractions, including a dry ski slope, attractive shops and restaurants. There is primary and secondary education at Alford Primary School and Alford Academy, which is due to get a multimillion-pound makeover.

The £40million campus is due to open in August next year and will include a new academy, primary school and nursery, along with a four-lane swimming pool and sports and community facilities.
