A secluded south-facing 3-bedroom stone farmhouse set in about 0.9 acres, Backhill of Auquhadlie is a clear renovation or redevelopment opportunity for buyers comfortable with a full project. The house retains traditional stone and slate construction, two bright first-floor bedrooms with southerly views and a ground-floor living room with a traditional woodburning stove. Several agricultural outbuildings and a large storage shed sit close by, offering scope for reuse or replacement subject to planning.
Significant works are required throughout: the farmhouse is dilapidated and needs complete renovation or potential demolition and rebuild. Outbuildings are largely block and corrugated construction and several are in poor or collapsed condition; demolition and hazardous-materials checks may be required. Services are private (water and drainage) with oil heating on the ground floor and partial uPVC double glazing; EPC is Band G.
The site is highly private and rural, accessed from the A948 via a private track and positioned between Auchnagatt and Ellon. The setting suits buyers seeking countryside seclusion, small-scale agricultural use or a development project with room to design a bespoke home. Proximity to the Buchan and Formartine Way, Haddo and Aden parks and the Aberdeenshire coast adds lifestyle value, while the nearest town, Ellon, is about six miles away for shops and services.
Buyers should allow for planning and statutory consents if considering change of use, replacement dwellings or significant rebuilding. This is a specialist purchase: obtain full surveys, title/servitude checks, drainage and services investigations, and factor in restoration or demolition costs before offering. Closing date for offers is stated as 8th October at 12 noon.
