This three-bedroom stone semi in Laurencekirk is a clear renovation opportunity for buyers seeking countryside character and scope to add value. Set semi-rural with open farmland views, the property sits on a modest-to-large plot with off-street parking and an external outbuilding, useful for storage or conversion.
The house is presented in below-average condition and requires full refurbishment throughout: dated kitchen and bathroom fittings, worn finishes, and likely replacement of some internal fixtures. Heating is by oil and the property has double glazing; the EPC is currently E. Services and appliances have not been tested and will need inspection by any purchaser.
Good transport links are a positive: easy access to the A90 for commuting or travel. Broadband is reported fast and mobile signal average, making the home workable for remote or flexible working once upgraded. The location is semi-rural and categorised as remoter/agricultural, so local amenities are limited; buyers should factor travel to schools, shops and services.
Offered freehold and chain-free, this cottage suits an investor or DIY buyer comfortable with a significant renovation project. With sympathetic updating, the property offers potential to create a comfortable family home or a rental with attractive countryside appeal.
