2 bed cottage for sale

Back Street, Fordyce, Banff, Aberdeenshire AB45

Wren Cottage is a truly immaculate detached cottage, circa 1900, located in a conservation area in impeccable condition. The present owners, during their tenure, have continuously upgraded and sympathetically modernised with due respect to its age and character, with the use of quality tradespeople being evident at every turn. The windows, external doors, heating system, kitchen, and a new wood-burning stove are just some of the fantastic upgrades that have been done.

This property, with its versatile layout, quality fittings and furnishings, and high standard of décor, offers spacious living accommodation over two floors. The property is presented to the market in an immaculate walk-in condition with generous room sizes, sash and case windows and oil-fired central heating. Wren Cottage will make a fantastic purchase for the professional couple, a first-time buyer, or a recently retired couple. Furthermore, with holiday homes in this area demanding ever-increasing prices, this substantial property with its magnificent location would make a superb holiday let and a fantastic investment opportunity. Early viewing is highly recommended; you will not be disappointed.

The front entrance hall leads to all accommodation. There are two principal rooms on the ground floor, the lounge with its recently installed wood-burning stove, which is open-plan to the bespoke dining kitchen; both of these rooms are flooded with natural light from the dual-aspect windows. The kitchen is fitted with a wide range of wall and base units with wooden worktops and some integrated appliances. The rear door from the kitchen leads to the secluded garden, outdoor dining areas and utility shed. The second principal room is currently being used as a former dining room, but could quite easily be utilised as a 3rd double bedroom. This fantastic room has a traditional fireplace and double doors leading to the study. A centrally located, stylish family shower room with a large cupboard completes the ground-floor accommodation.

A carpeted stairway with a wooden balustrade leads to the first-floor landing, bright and airy with two large Velux windows. A cleverly designed W/C is immediately at the top of the stairs. There are two large double bedrooms, both of which feature William Morris wallpaper, a fitted cupboard and large bay-style windows overlooking the rear gardens.

Off-street parking is available at the side of the property for at least two vehicles. The front garden is bordered by a traditional white wooden picket fence, laid to decorative stone chip with raised flower beds of shrubs, plants and seasonal flowers.

The immaculate, very private rear garden wraps itself around the property and is laid mostly to decorative stone chip with a choice of seating areas, with a multitude of landscaped areas and sporadic planting of mature shrubs and seasonal flowers. This bright, private and peaceful area is easily maintained and perfect for entertaining and enjoying the sun. The rear garden is fully enclosed, making it a safe environment for those with children and pets.

The traditional red-bricked bothy is accessed from the front of the property, a fantastic addition with the loft area providing further storage. A garden outbuilding of wooden design is utilised as the utility room, which benefits from base units with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as space for a freezer that has power, water and light.
