- Good transport links; about 28 minutes to Aberdeen

- Ample internal storage; mid-20th-century features intact
- Potential for resale or short-term let after renovation (permissions required)
This two-bedroom detached bungalow is a clear renovation project in a well-located part of Ellon. Offered freehold and to be sold at auction, the property is currently uninhabitable and requires immediate attention to the roof; full modernisation would be needed to make it liveable or lettable.
The house sits on a plot with front and rear gardens and has good storage throughout. Its location close to main roads and local amenities, plus a 28-minute link to Aberdeen, supports a range of exit strategies — from resale after refurbishment to short-term letting subject to permissions. Recent nearby sales in the area indicate ongoing demand.
Practical drawbacks are significant and factual: the roof needs renovation, broadband speeds are slow, and the wider area is recorded as very deprived. The lot will be sold at auction, so buyers should allow time and budget for repairs, statutory approvals, and auction purchase conditions.
This lot will suit an experienced investor or a handy homeowner who can oversee a roof replacement and full modernisation. If you can manage the works, the property offers a relatively low entry price with scope for capital growth once upgraded.
