3 bed detached house for sale

Mains Of Tulloch, Keig, Alford, Aberdeenshire AB33

Detached estate farmhouse and range of outbuildings in about 6 acres with stunning countryside views over the Howe of Alford and the hill of Bennachie behind.

Description
Mains of Tulloch is a detached estate farmhouse which has in the past been extended at the front and rear elevations and has a conservatory on the north gable. Now requiring complete modernisation, the house at present comprises a lounge with wood burning stove; dining kitchen with range cooker and ceramic sink; pantry, downstairs bedroom and WC and two further bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.

The sale includes a stone-built steading of former farm buildings, most of which are traditional in style and built with stone walls and slated roofs. They include an L-shaped building; a detached barn which is lofted with an external stairway at one gable; and a bothy and store with central chimney. Infilling the courtyard formed by these three buildings is a tin roofed shelter, and a detached part-lofted building with an end section added.

The stone-built steading may well have development potential, subject to acquiring the necessary planning consents or could be reinstated as stabling or for livestock for prospective equestrian or smallholding buyers.

Outside: The farmhouse sits in about six acres, made up of two acres of grounds around the house and buildings and an adjoining area of agricultural land in grass of approximately four acres. The grass paddocks included with the property do not appear to have been grazed recently.
