Summary - 1 BURNSIDE COTTAGES, ABERDEEN, BLAIRS AB12 5YQ
3 bed 2 bath Detached Bungalow
Vacant 3-bed cottage with substantial development land and strong GDV potential.
Full planning permission for 2 x 4-bed houses on 1.2 acres
A rare development-led opportunity on Royal Deeside: a vacant 3-bedroom detached cottage set within a huge 1.2-acre plot, offered for auction with full planning permission for two 4-bedroom houses. The site and cottage together present clear GDV upside, with the seller marketing the land separately at a significant discount to encourage a quick sale.
The cottage retains period character — stone exterior, high-ceilinged living room with exposed beams and a fireplace — and provides immediate accommodation while planning works progress. Practical positives include freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and no reported flood risk. The plot benefits from a riverside outlook and countryside setting, appealing to developers or buyers seeking an amenity-led build.
Important considerations: this lot will be sold at auction, so timescales are fixed and subject to auction conditions. The local area records high deprivation indices and council tax is described as expensive; buyers should factor these into holding-cost and resale assumptions. The vendor is offering flexibility to purchase land only, the cottage only, or both, so legal and planning checks are essential before bidding.
