A well-located two-bedroom semi-detached cottage in Mossneuk Cottages, Ellon, offered at a clear entry point for investors and owner-occupiers. The property sits in a tranquil rural setting yet is around a 25-minute drive from Aberdeen, making it appealing for commuter tenants or holiday-let guests once permissions are secured. The Home Report valuation is £180,000 with current guide price £135,000, presenting potential upside for buyers prepared to act at auction.
The house includes an entrance hall, living room, kitchen, bathroom and two double bedrooms, plus a large garden and a detached garage. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as good, and there is no flood risk recorded. Comparable recent sales locally suggest steady demand, and similar properties have been marketed successfully as short-term lets (subject to licensing and consent).
Buyers should note material considerations: the lot will be sold at auction and is offered to encourage a quick sale. The cottage will likely need updating and possible remedial works to reach modern rental or holiday-let standards. The local area is classified as more remote and the wider area records high deprivation, which may affect long-term tenant profiles and resale dynamics.
This is a pragmatic opportunity for investors seeking a high-yield potential refurbishment or a homeowner willing to put in cosmetic and practical improvements. Planning or licensing will be required before operating as serviced accommodation; purchasers should allow for refurbishment costs and budget for auction-related timelines and conditions.
