Summary - Sunnyside Farm, Ythanwells, Huntly, AB54 AB54 6HF
5 bed 1 bath Detached
Auction opportunity: large farmhouse shell needing full renovation and redevelopment potential.
Large detached traditional stone farmhouse on generous plot
A substantial detached stone farmhouse on a large plot in rural Ythanwells, offered for auction on 8 October with a guide price of £59,000. The property is a derelict shell after years of abandonment, offering a blank canvas for a sympathetic restoration or redevelopment. With about 1,707 sq ft (158.6 m2) of internal floor area historically arranged as five rooms, the farmhouse presents scope for a sizeable family home or a small rural development (subject to consents).
This is a high-potential, high-work opportunity aimed at investors, builders or experienced renovators. The plot size and traditional stone construction are notable assets, but the building requires full renovation and likely substantial structural, services and interior work. There is only one bathroom recorded and no information on tenure; buyers should budget for comprehensive upgrades, including modern heating, wiring, insulation and drainage.
Practical factors: broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, reflecting the remoter agricultural setting. The area is classified as very deprived, and although Huntly offers basic amenities and bus links to Aberdeen, the property’s rural location influences resale and rental demand. The property is sold at auction; interested parties should perform pre-auction surveys and legal checks, and be prepared for outlays and planning processes.
For a buyer with renovation experience or a developer able to secure planning, this farmhouse could become a distinctive countryside home or a small income-generating project. The site’s size and period stone character are its strongest selling points, balanced by significant renovation responsibilities and infrastructural limitations.
