Property description

The Cottage, Newton of Ardonald offers many options for a new home owner. Extremely comfortable, modern day living, in a totally renovated traditional farmhouse. Set in a beautifully tranquil and rural location, approximately 5 miles from the historic towns of Huntly and Keith, yet very commutable to the cities of Aberdeen or Inverness by road or rail.
This stunning property also has a large ‘U’ shaped steading with full planning permission and building warrant for a single dwelling. Or, subject to planning approval, could be split into two dwellings or holiday lets. With 24 acres, 15 of which were planted with trees in 2012, all contained within deer proof fencing with mown pathways running throughout and an area in the top field for a holiday log cabin (subject to planning), this alone could be a sound leisure business opportunity. There is also an excellent 5 acre paddock opposite the cottage. The large rear garden has a log cabin, previously used as an office, and purpose built ‘Reeves’ dog kennels featuring heated sleeping areas with individual runs, lighting and food store.
