Sunnyside of Lethenty is a recently renovated L-shaped steading conversion offering four-bedroom, single-level family living set within circa 3.37 acres of paddocks, a sand school and versatile outbuildings. The main house combines traditional stone character with modern touches—timber double-glazed windows, air-source underfloor heating and a spacious open kitchen/living hub that opens to south-facing views. An integral single garage, workshop and office add practical workspace for hobbies or small business use.
The land and outbuildings are a major draw: productive grade 3(1) paddocks with good stock-proof fencing, water troughs and a timber stable block make the property well suited to equestrian or small-holding use. Two separate house plots accompany the holding; one has full planning permission for a two-bedroom dwelling (expires November this year), the other has outline permission (expires late 2027), offering development upside or family expansion potential—but note the nearer permission is time-limited.
Practical considerations are clear and factual. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average, reflecting the remote rural position. The property uses private drainage to a septic tank and has only one main bathroom recorded, which may affect larger households. The area is remote; services and secondary schooling are in nearby towns, and travel to Aberdeen is around 25–30 miles.
Overall Sunnyside suits buyers seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle with genuine equestrian or smallholding capability, plus potential development value from nearby plots. It will particularly appeal to those wanting a ready-to-live-in converted steading with workshop facilities, while buyers dependent on high-speed internet or immediate local services should consider the location limits.
