3 bed detached house for sale

Monymusk, Inverurie AB51

We are extremely privileged to be offering to the market, this unique thatched cottage in the heart of Aberdeenshire. “Greenbogs” is a very rare find and occupies a generous plot that commands stunning open views towards Bennachie and enjoys total privacy. The cottage was a much loved home for many years and although requiring some upgrading, offers amazing potential to become a beautiful home. It benefits from UPVC double glazing, oil fired central heating and wood burning stove. The property would provide the perfect family home and with the accommodation on one level, would also appeal to buyers looking to retire to a quiet rural location. We highly recommend early viewing of this one to avoid missing out on this excellent opportunity.

Accommodation

Vestibule, hall, lounge/dining room, kitchen, 3 bedrooms and bathroom.

Location

"Greenbogs" lies just outside the historic village of Monymusk and enjoys open views of the surrounding countryside across to Bennachie. The historic and very pretty village is set around a central green and offers an excellent primary school and nursery, active community hall, local shop (restricted hours) and renowned Grant Arms, serving excellent meals, coffee and home baking. There are endless country walks in the area and a short drive will take you to the Bennachie range or Pitfichie Forest with woodland walks and cycle trails. Secondary schooling is available at Alford, within the modern community campus along with swimming pool, sports facilities and library. A free school bus is available. Larger amenities are also available at Alford and nearby Kemnay, with major shopping within the busy market town of Inverurie. There is an easy commute to the business parks at Westhill and Dyce, along with Aberdeen city and airport.

Directions
Travelling from Kemnay on the B993, turn right into the village and continue through and out towards Chaple of Garioch and Bennachie. Once out of the village take the first turning on the left and you will find the property a little way up on the left hand side.
