Situated in an area of high deprivation (affects demand)
Set just above Portessie harbour, this traditional two-storey terraced cottage offers compact coastal living with genuine budget appeal. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and photovoltaic solar panels, lowering running costs and supporting comfortable year-round use. The Home Report valuation is £85,000, reflecting the cottage’s modest size and market position.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors with an entrance hallway, lounge, dining kitchen, shower room and two double bedrooms — one with a front-facing window and slightly sloped ceiling. Internal space is functional rather than generous; the footprint is best suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-price entry into a seaside town. Fitted floorcoverings, curtains/blinds and light fittings are included in the sale.
The house will repay modernisation and redecoration: it is recorded as needing renovation and would benefit from updating to modern finish levels. External grounds are small — a limited rear area only — so outdoor space is minimal. The location’s big draw is the coastal setting and sea views over the Moray Firth, with nearby shops, services and public transport in Buckie.
Practical notes: broadband speeds are fast and there is no reported flood risk, but the surrounding area ranks as very deprived which may influence resale or rental yields. Mobile signal is average. Overall this is an economical coastal cottage with energy-saving PV panels and clear scope for improvement to add value.
