Summary - LOANSIDE COTTAGE, INVERURIE, DURNO AB51 5ER
3 bed 2 bath Detached Bungalow
Three-bed rural cottage on 3+ acres with paddocks and two potential building plots.
Detached three-bedroom cottage with traditional fireplaces and sun porch
Loanside Cottage is a detached three-bedroom bungalow set on just over three acres on the edge of Durno. The house keeps traditional cottage character with two reception rooms, feature fireplaces and a bright sun porch that overlooks the garden. A well-fitted dining kitchen and separate bathroom plus WC provide practical family accommodation. A substantial garage/outbuilding and generous driveway give good storage and off-street parking.
The grounds are a principal asset: grass paddocks surround the house on three sides, making the site well suited to smallholding or equestrian uses. Two separate building plots sit within the grounds. Plot 1 (approx 0.2 acres) has planning permission in principle for a dwelling (Aberdeenshire ref APP/2025/0628); Plot 2 (approx 0.27 acres) has a planning decision pending (ref APP/2025/0629). That potential increases flexibility for owners wanting additional income or a separate family home.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. The property has an EPC rating of E. mobile and broadband speeds are average. The wider area is classed as remoter farming communities with limited local amenities; main services are in Oldmeldrum and Inverurie, each about seven miles away, and Aberdeen is around 22 miles. The site’s size and character mean ongoing grounds maintenance and management of paddocks are necessary.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking substantial outdoor space and rural lifestyle potential — families, smallholders or those looking for development opportunity. It offers immediate comfortable accommodation combined with clear scope for improvement, additional development subject to planning, and long-term smallholding use.
