Dorevay is a substantial five-bedroom detached home set in about three acres on the south side of the River Dee, offering commanding elevated views and generous private grounds. The house combines Tudor Revival exterior charm with period interior details — parquet and honey-coloured floorboards, multiple reception rooms and fireplaces — giving strong character and family living space.
The property includes an attached East Wing annexe with separate access, providing self-contained accommodation suitable for multi-generational living, short-term let income or a home office/commercial use subject to consents. Practical extras include a large detached double garage, summerhouse, basement cellar and useful stores to the rear of the garage. Solar panels reduce running costs, though primary heating is oil-fired and the annexe uses electric heating.
Notable considerations are the EPC rating of E, a mixture of timber and single-glazed windows (some with external secondary glazing), slow broadband and a relatively high council tax band (Band G for the main house). The location is rural and classified as remoter communities with excellent mobile signal but limited local services; the wider area is described as rural employment and retirees.
This is a property for buyers seeking space, privacy and scope to modernise. The annexe and large plot present clear potential for an owner-occupier with extended family needs or an investor wanting holiday-let or mixed-use opportunities, subject to any necessary permissions.
