Summary - THE STEADING, ROSE FARM, TURRIFF, FYVIE AB53 8NS
5 bed 2 bath Bungalow
Versatile rural homestead with outbuildings and business potential.
Extremely large plot with around 35 rooms and expansive grounds
Two separate residential units: 5-bed farmhouse and 3-bed steading
Workshop/shed with three-phase electricity and basic welfare facilities
Private well water supply; each property has oil heating
Requires substantial renovation and modernisation throughout
Very slow broadband and average mobile signal in a remote area
Remote location with limited local amenities; longer commutes likely
Set across a substantial rural plot, this farmhouse and converted steading form a rare multi-building offering ideal for multi-generational families or small-scale rural enterprise. The main house (circa 184m2) provides five bedrooms, two reception rooms, two bathrooms, office and generous storage across a traditional layout. The adjoining converted steading (circa 164m2) offers three bedrooms, a large lounge with wood burner, and an open kitchen/diner. A large shed/workshop with three-phase electricity and basic welfare facilities adds business or hobby potential.
The site delivers obvious scope to create a bespoke family compound: extensive accommodation (around 35 rooms in total), large gardens and farmland setting, private well water and independent oil heating for each dwelling. EPC ratings differ across the buildings (Rose Farm E; Steading C), reflecting varying energy performance and likely further investment required to modernise heating, insulation and services.
Buyers should expect a substantial renovation project. Parts of the buildings require upgrading and redecoration; services are basic (well water, oil boilers) and broadband speeds are very slow. The property sits in a remote, very deprived area with average mobile signal — a tranquil rural lifestyle but with limited nearby amenities and longer commutes to larger centres.
This is a clear opportunity for a family seeking long-term flexible living, a purchaser wanting to combine home and small rural business, or a developer prepared to invest. The combination of living space, outbuildings and three-phase power gives genuine scope to add value, but realistic budgets and a programme for modernisation will be essential.
