Large detached stone house with period character
This substantial three-bedroom detached house on Grant Street blends turn-of-the-century character with roomy accommodation. Built around 1900, the stone cottage façade, chimneys and dormer windows give the home period charm, while its 1453 sq ft layout provides flexible space across multiple storeys for family living or working from home.
Practical features include a rare garage for the area and good mobile signal. The single bathroom and original fittings suggest the property will reward a buyer willing to modernise and personalise — there is clear scope for refurbishment to improve layout, heating and finishes. Broadband speeds are slow, so budget for an upgrade if you need reliable home internet.
Positioned in the heart of Whitehills (AB45 2NS), the house is close to local shops, community parks, schools and public transport links, making daily life straightforward. Note that the wider area is classified as very deprived and the local economy is oriented to primary sector work; this may affect resale and rental demand compared with more affluent locations.
For a first-time buyer or purchaser seeking a spacious, characterful home with renovation potential, this property presents a cost-effective entry into the market. Key practical points are the single bathroom, unknown tenure, and need to update services and finishes — all important to factor into any offer.
