Set in a private, tranquil spot near Tarland village, this five-double-bedroom detached home offers generous, light-filled open-plan living across an average-sized footprint (1,776 sq ft). Built around 2000, the house combines modern-traditional styling with practical features: an integral garage, extensive storage, oil-fired central heating, a wood-burning stove and double glazing.
The property is set in large private gardens and benefits from a communal orchard and ample off-street parking. Sixteen Canadian photovoltaic panels currently generate an income of about £1,300 per year (scheme running until 2037), reducing running costs and adding a tangible income stream. Accommodation includes a vestibule, hall, open-plan lounge/sunroom/kitchen-diner, utility room, five double bedrooms (one en-suite), bathroom and a separate shower room.
Buyers should note some material limitations: broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect remote working or streaming. The house uses oil-fired heating, so fuel cost exposure remains a factor. The wider area is classified as very deprived and described as industrious hardship, which may influence resale demand. The PV income and generous accommodation help offset these local challenges.
Overall, this detached home suits buyers seeking spacious rural living with income-generating solar panels and outdoor space. It will particularly appeal to purchasers prioritising privacy, large gardens and flexible family accommodation, but those reliant on fast broadband or looking for a strong local market should weigh the area's economic profile before viewing.
