Auchoille, Crathes, Banchory, Aberdeenshire, AB31 5JE

Set within extensive garden grounds, we are pleased to present for sale Auchoille. This spacious, detached cottage offers an excellent level of accommodation spanning two floors and provides an ideal opportunity for those looking for a country home within easy reach of the thriving, Deeside town of Banchory. The location also enjoys easy access onto the popular 'Deeside Way' walking route which stretches from Aberdeen to Ballater. Internally the accommodation comprises of a sunny conservatory, entrance hallway with storage facilities and lounge with attractive wood burning stove and an exposed stone wall. The kitchen has been fitted with a good range of cabinets and offers space for informal dining. French doors lead out to the rear and a full height window floods the space with light. There is a large ground floor bedroom which is well presented and a modern shower room with large walk-in shower enclosure. A carpeted staircase leads to the first floor where there is a large, open plan family/sitting room. This bright area could serve numerous purposes and it is thought the space could be reconfigured to provide the property with a third bedroom, subject to the usual planning consents. Completing the accommodation is a further, well-proportioned double bedroom. It should be noted that full planning permission was previously granted for the addition of a further double bedroom with ensuite on the first floor. Whilst this has now lapsed, it is thought this could be reinstated subject to the purchaser obtaining updated consent. Externally on approaching the property, a large, stone-chipped driveway offers ample parking and turning space. The garden grounds are mainly laid to lawn and are part bordered by mature hedging providing a degree of privacy. There are open views across the surrounding fields to the West. A large paved patio provides great space for outdoor furniture. A timber shed to the side of the property provides outdoor storage. Early viewing of this property is recommended to fully appreciate the accommodation and the superb location.
