This freehold development site in Kennethmont benefits from full planning consent for 32 residential units, offering a ready-made scheme for a developer or housebuilder. The consented mix — 16 one-and-a-half storey detached homes, 10 semi-detached houses and 6 terraced homes — provides product variety suited to families, downsizers and local buyers. The site sits in a rural village setting with easy road links to the A97 and access to the Aberdeen–Inverness rail line via nearby Huntly station.
The position close to local amenities and the Ardmore distillery gives the development local character and potential marketing appeal to buyers seeking countryside living. The site has no identified flood risk and is offered with freehold title. Practical considerations already known include average mobile reception and slow broadband, which will influence both construction logistics and future buyer expectations.
Buyers should note the likely requirement to address affordable housing via a Section 75 payment as set out in the planning package; this will affect scheme costs and viability. The wider area is classified as a remoter rural community with a small local population and higher measures of deprivation — factors that will influence sales velocity, target pricing and choice of affordable/market housing mix. This is a strategic opportunity for a developer able to deliver a sensitive, locally appropriate scheme in a scenic part of Aberdeenshire.
