Someone once said that the difference between something good and something great is attention to detail.
That is definitely evident at number three, Townhead Cottages, Laurencekirk.
This three-bedroom detached cottage is nestled in the Mearns countryside and is laid out across one storey.
While it is a nice and attractive building on the outside, it is the interior that makes this home really shine.
Over the years, the house has been brought up to date, but attention to detail has been clearly thought about. It has been carefully modernised and upgraded while remaining sympathetic to its traditional charm.
It has also been a given a Danfoss air source heating system and is complemented by solar panels, making it an environmentally friendly living area with the benefits of low running costs.
On the market for offers over £280,000, the house has many highlights including its bright and airy lounge.
Windows on three sides of the room mean it is constantly flooded with natural light, highlighting the amazing timber beams that line the ceiling while a cosy multi-fuel stove with polished slate hearth provides a lovely focal point.
Other rooms of note include the stylish kitchen fitted with white gloss units, the snug where you can enjoy stunning views across the rolling countryside and a master bedroom which is a great size and exudes character with traditional shutters and wood panelled walls to picture-rail height.
The room also offers a hidden walk-in wardrobe with a wealth of storage space. The guest bedroom is also a good size and has an en-suite shower room, while the third bedroom has built-in wardrobes.
Outside, the extensive gardens are fully enclosed and feature an attractive decking area, raised herb garden and vegetable patch. A large timber shed is also included in the sale.
Number three, Townhead Cottages is located in Laurencekirk, a small town between Aberdeen and Dundee. It offers a range of amenities including a number of primary schools and Mearns Academy for secondary provision.
