Summary - The Old Farmhouse, Boghead, Mintlaw, Peterhead, AB42 4ET AB42 4ET
3 bed 3 bath Farm House
Spacious 3‑bed country home on ~4 acres with stables and off‑grid options.
Large traditional two‑storey stone farmhouse, approx. 1,292 sqft
Set on roughly 4 acres on the outskirts of Mintlaw, The Old Farmhouse is a large, traditionally built two‑storey stone home offering rural space and practical upgrades. Renovated in 2012 with insulation, upgraded electrics, underfloor heating and full double glazing, it combines period character with modern heating and a wood burner for cosy winter living.
The house provides a flexible family layout: large open-plan living and dining, kitchen and utility on the ground floor, plus three bedrooms upstairs including a master with en‑suite. Several wet rooms are present but require finishing work (downstairs shower and en‑suite need final completion), so some light finishing and final snagging will be needed.
Services are a mix of off‑grid and mains options. The property has an independent wind‑turbine powered system (turbine itself is not included in the sale) and main power connection is available via a recently installed pole. Water comes from mains and a well; two sets of stables are included and there is substantial extra land available by negotiation.
Practical drawbacks are important to note: broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived and the location is rural and remote, so commuting and online-working conveniences are reduced. That said, the site’s large plot, wooded area, and equestrian potential will appeal to families, those seeking self‑sufficiency, or smallholding buyers looking to personalise a substantial countryside property.
