This traditional stone cottage sits a short walk from Aberlour and enjoys open Speyside countryside views. The house offers a comfortable mix of period character and practical living: a cosy lounge with log-burning stove, a bright sun lounge glazed on two sides, and a large garden with raised decking ideal for outdoor dining and views.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes three double bedrooms (one on the ground floor), a bathroom and a separate shower room, plus a generous dining kitchen and an attached single garage. Practical features include double glazing, oil central heating and an included electric range-style cooker; the property is offered freehold and has low flood risk and affordable council tax.
Notable positives are the substantial wrap-around garden, excellent mobile signal, and the peaceful rural setting within easy reach of local amenities and outdoor attractions. Drawbacks to consider are slow broadband speeds, the property’s oil heating (ongoing fuel costs), a wooden single garage that will need maintenance, and the wider area’s very deprived economic classification, which may affect services and resale dynamics. The house footprint and internal living space are modest for a three-bedroom dwelling, so buyers seeking larger rooms should check measurements.
This cottage will appeal to buyers looking for rural character, outdoor space and scenic views—families, downsizers or buyers seeking a countryside base in Speyside. Some updating and attention to running costs (heating and broadband upgrade) may be required to modernise and maximise the property’s potential.
