Craig of Garvock Cottage is a traditional single-storey stone farm cottage occupying an elevated, south-facing position with panoramic countryside views. The property sits privately off a shared farm track and includes garden ground to two sides, making it a clear rural redevelopment opportunity for someone prepared to carry out a full refurbishment.
The cottage is configured as an entrance porch, living room with fireplace, galley kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom, but it currently requires full renovation and is not in habitable condition. Services reported are electricity and private water; there is no central heating and a septic tank lies outside the boundary to the south-west. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is excellent.
This would suit an investor or buyer seeking a countryside project with strong visual appeal and scope to create a comfortable rural home or holiday let. Practical considerations include the shared maintenance of the farm track access, the derelict portacabin on site, third-party ownership of rear-planted land, and the need to budget for comprehensive works including heating, drainage and potential roof repairs.
Location-wise, the cottage is on the rural outskirts of St Cyrus, close to coastal and woodland walks and local amenities. Montrose and Laurencekirk are around a 10-minute drive for wider shopping and rail links; the A90/A92 provide commutable routes to Dundee and Aberdeen. The asking price of £70,000 reflects the substantial renovation required and the site's redevelopment potential.
