3 bed detached house for sale

Finnygaud, Banff AB45

Set in open countryside near Cornhill, North Finnyguard is surrounded by rolling farmland with wide skies overhead. There’s around six acres to call your own, along with a stable block, a barn and several useful outbuildings. It’s the sort of place that gives you options, whether that’s keeping animals, starting a smallholding or to simply enjoy privacy and space that’s increasingly hard to find.

Stepping inside the home you immediately feel the balance between traditional character and modern alteration. The open plan living room and kitchen really is the heart of the home, a space that’s been designed to be enjoyed. The kitchen sits confidently at one end, with glossy black cabinets, long chrome handles and set with quality wooden worktops. A large Belling range cooker takes pride of place, framed by a soft purple feature wall, while two generous windows flood the space with light as you cook. A bespoke wooden shelving unit with glass shelves and mirrored backing adds a stylish focal point and practical display space.

The room then flows naturally into the living and dining area, where wooden flooring runs underfoot and two further deep set windows draw in even more daylight. There’s plenty of room here for a large family dining table, a comfortable sofa suite and additional furniture, all without feeling crowded. A wood burning stove sits within the fireplace, creating a natural gathering point and a cosy backdrop for evenings in. It’s a room that works beautifully for entertaining, family time or simply stretching out and enjoying the peace around you.

Just off the living room is the sun room, providing yet another inviting area to relax. Glazed French doors with full height windows either side, open onto the decking and flood the room with natural light. Another wood burning stove in this room makes it a space you’ll use year round, whether it’s summer evenings with the doors open or winter afternoons watching the weather roll across the fields. Built in shelving on one wall provides a perfect spot for books, photographs and a television.

The home benefits from a beautifully designed, and generously sized, family bathroom. A large shower enclosure with mixer shower gives you an invigorating start to the day, while the double ended bath with centre mounted taps invites you to slow down and unwind. The choice of bath or shower adds flexibility for both busy mornings or long, relaxing evenings. Matching rustic grey wall and floor tiles tie the room together, while twin mirrored storage cabinets help keep everything neatly organised.

Also on the ground floor is a utility room, which keeps practical tasks out of sight of the main living areas. With additional storage cabinets, a second sink and space for laundry appliances, it’s exactly where you want muddy boots or washing to be dealt with. In a home with land and outbuildings, this kind of separation is invaluable.

Upstairs, the landing itself offers useful storage with a long run of cabinets set beneath a Velux rooflight. At this end of the landing are two bedrooms while along the hall is a further bedroom and the WC.

Bedroom one is a comfortable double with soft yellow painted walls and a light carpet underfoot. A rooflight window draws daylight down into the room, while a second slim window on the far wall frames views out across the surrounding countryside. It’s a peaceful room to wake up in, with space for a full bedroom suite and the calm, quiet feel you’d expect from a rural setting.

Bedroom two is another generous double, finished in clean white tones with a large Velux rooflight overhead. There’s a useful alcove on one wall, ideal for shelving or displaying personal items. The layout makes the most of the space beneath the sloping ceilings, creating a room that feels cosy.

Bedroom three mirrors the charm of the others, with slanted ceilings and Velux windows on either side allowing plenty light in and views of the open skies. Light painted walls and soft carpet keep the space feeling fresh and airy.

The additional WC on this level is a real advantage, particularly at night. With wooden flooring, tiled walls, a vanity unit with storage and a chrome towel radiator, it’s a thoughtful inclusion that makes family life that bit easier.

Outside, the potential truly sets this property apart. The detached garage offers power and light and has been partly lined to the rear, giving you workshop or storage possibilities. The four stall stable block, complete with power and lighting, opens the door to equestrian use or animal keeping, while the open fronted barn provides further covered space for machinery, feed, storage or future projects.

Whether you dream of horses, a smallholding, woodland walks of your own or simply the privacy of open land around you, this property delivers it in a way that’s increasingly hard to find. North Finnygaud is not just a house in the countryside, it’s an opportunity to create the rural life you’ve always imagined. Homes with this combination of land, outbuildings and beautifully designed living space rarely come to market so if you’ve been waiting for something special, this could be it.
