Set on Fortrose High Street, this detached Victorian-style cottage offers four bedrooms, two reception rooms and generous mature gardens — all within easy walking distance of the beach, shops and Fortrose Academy. The house retains period character externally and provides flexible family accommodation over two storeys, with a kitchen/diner, separate utility and useful summerhouse in the rear grounds.
The property will suit families seeking outdoor space and village living. The large rear garden, private driveway with carport and proximity to coastal amenities are strong practical benefits. Broadband is noted as fast and mobile coverage is average, supporting home working and connectivity.
Buyers should factor in running and improvement costs. Heating is by oil central boiler and the home currently has an EPC rating of F, so energy upgrades would be advisable to cut bills and improve comfort. Internally some areas show dated mid-century fittings and wear; the house presents clear scope to modernise and add value.
Practical details: council tax is Band E (above average) and the surrounding area scores as more deprived in local indices. The property is offered freehold with an approximate floor area of 155m2 (about 1,658 sq ft) and entry by mutual agreement.
