Summary - 11 CRAIGHEADS, MILLFIELD, BANFF, AB45 2NF AB45 2NP
1 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Characterful seaside cottage with basement and low running costs.
One-bedroom coastal stone cottage, approx. 506 sq ft
Set on the Moray Firth in the small fishing village of Whitehills, this single-storey stone cottage offers compact, characterful coastal living. The property has been updated with a modern kitchen and bathroom, gas central heating and double glazing, making it move-in ready for someone seeking a low-maintenance one-bedroom home or holiday retreat.
The layout is traditional and modest: a bright entrance vestibule, a comfortable lounge, one bedroom, and a useful lower-level kitchen and bathroom. A large basement provides powered, lit and water-served space for storage, a workshop or a potential home office, accessed via exterior steps. Outdoor seating captures coastal air; parking is on-street.
Practical positives include very low council tax, excellent mobile signal and a pleasant village location close to harbour, walks and local amenities. However, there are important limits to be aware of: the house is small (around 506 sq ft), ceilings are low, broadband speeds are slow, and the area is described as very deprived. The basement requires step access and the garden/coal shed are modest in scale.
This cottage will suit a first-time buyer or downsizer wanting a seaside base with character and scope to personalise the basement or external areas. It also offers potential as a holiday let or weekend getaway, provided you accept the compact footprint and slower broadband connectivity.
