This two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage sits on a quiet lane in Rattray, offering a compact but comfortable home with private parking and a large garage. The property includes a conservatory, a courtyard, and a peaceful deck overlooking the lade — ideal for relaxing outdoors or spotting local wildlife. Two true double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes provide practical bedroom space for a couple or small family.
Internally the home is well-proportioned but dated in places. The kitchen and shower room are serviceable and contemporary in layout, yet the overall finish would benefit from modernization to improve comfort and energy efficiency. The property has double glazing and gas central heating, but the EPC is modest; cosmetic updating and targeted energy improvements would add noticeable value.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are very slow here despite excellent mobile signal, and the wider area is classified as very deprived which may affect resale demand. On the positive side you get private allocated parking for two vehicles, a sizable garage, additional stone-built storage and a private deck by the lade — rare for properties at this price point.
This cottage suits a first-time buyer or couple looking for an affordable entry into a rural-adjacent community, or a buyer happy to invest modestly in updating for longer-term comfort and value. Be aware of the slow broadband and the local socio-economic profile when considering the property for remote working or let-income assumptions.
