Looking for a new home can be just as tiring as a full-time job.
Trawling websites can make you feel like you are having your very own Groundhog Day – all the available properties start to look the same.
But then you will come across one that jumps right out at you.
Kingsford, at Auchterless, is like that.
This five-bedroom farmhouse, near Turriff, is surrounded by around four acres of ground, comprising areas of lawn and woodland, as well as two paddocks allowing for equestrian facilities.
The grounds are a lovely setting for the large rustic house, which spans three floors.
Inside is where you really begin to realise just how different this farmhouse is.
Among the most interesting rooms is the lounge. Finished in reclaimed timber and featuring an impressive antique fireplace, it is a far cry from your typical farmhouse living room.
It is a lovely space which has character and charm in abundance.
Other rooms of note include the large dining kitchen, the formal dining room, the bright sun lounge and the cosy family room.
Outside, there is a large driveway from the private access road and a detached double garage.
Kingsford, which is on the market at offers over £335,000, may be available to purchase with a detached steading with planning permission for conversion into three houses and a holiday let.
Nearby Turriff offers a range of shopping and leisure amenities as well as primary and secondary schools.
