Parkdale Rathen, Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, AB43 8UL

Nestled in the tranquil countryside of Rathen, this generous five-bedroom detached home offers the perfect balance of rural charm and modern convenience. Located within walking distance of the local primary school, church, and play park, it also enjoys sweeping countryside views, a large driveway, and an attached garage—ideal for families seeking space both inside and out.

The heart of the home is a bright and inviting living room, complete with neutral tones, a soft grey carpet, and a feature wall with a sleek Optimyst fire, which will remain with the property, adding a cosy focal point. Large dual-aspect windows flood the space with natural light and offer picturesque views.

The dining kitchen offers excellent proportions, with space for a large table and sliding doors that open onto the rear garden—making it a perfect social hub. A window over the sink enhances the natural brightness, while the kitchen itself features black worktops, wooden cabinetry, and a black laminated floor. An adjoining utility room provides additional appliance space and storage, with direct access to both the garden and the garage.

To the rear of the property, a flexible second reception room offers further living space. Currently used as a music room, it would make an ideal snug, reading room, or playroom, with views over the garden.

Two of the five bedrooms are located on the ground floor. One is a spacious double, while the other is currently used as a home office. A modern three-piece shower room completes the lower level, finished in stylish black laminate with a walk-in shower.

Upstairs are three further generously sized bedrooms, all featuring built-in sliding wardrobes and countryside views through bright Velux or picture windows. The master bedroom, in particular, is positioned to make the most of the outlook, while the others are well-proportioned and neatly presented. A second modern bathroom upstairs adds convenience for family living.

The rear garden is a true highlight—mainly laid to lawn, it also features a patio seating area, a summerhouse with decking, and stunning open views across the fields. The right side of the property is entirely open, enhancing the sense of privacy and space. A shed provides useful outdoor storage, and a gated side path offers easy access from front to back.

Additional features include a new boiler (installed in 2019 and serviced annually, also comes with a Hive system), a replacement of the flat roof over the garage and utility room in 2020 with a 25-year guarantee, and plentiful built-in storage throughout. The surrounding farmland is used only for seasonal crops and livestock, with no development plans in place—further securing the home’s peaceful setting.

Included in the sale are all floor coverings, curtains, blinds, light fittings, and shades. The ceramic hob cooker, extractor fan, fridge (in the utility room), integrated fridge, and recently replaced integrated dishwasher will also be included in the sale. Some other furniture may be available by separate negotiation.
