Victorian detached house with bay and dormer windows
Set within central Macduff, this two-bedroom Victorian detached house combines period character with a practical modern extension and a flexible timber outbuilding currently used as a salon. The interior is bright and well maintained: neutral finishes, a contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances, a tidy ground-floor bathroom and two naturally lit upper bedrooms with sloped ceilings. At about 980 sq ft, the layout is manageable and low‑maintenance—suited to downsizers, professionals or anyone seeking a compact seaside base.
Stand-out features include bay and dormer windows that deliver natural light, a neat courtyard and the salon outbuilding that offers income or hobby potential. The property is freehold, has excellent mobile signal and sits moments from coastal walks, local shops and community amenities; council tax is described as affordable and there is no flooding risk.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the stone exterior is dated and may need renovation or repointing to restore its Victorian façade; broadband speeds are slow; and the wider area is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale and local services. The house is presented well internally but offers clear scope for external improvement and modernisation where required.
Overall this is a practicable, characterful home in a convenient seaside location. It suits someone who values light, a tidy turnkey interior and an adaptable outbuilding, while being prepared to accept slow broadband and to invest in external refurbishment over time.
