Set well back in Fyvie countryside, East Mains Ardlogie is a five-bedroom detached cottage offered for auction as a full renovation project. The single-storey main house, plus floored attic areas, gives broad scope for a sympathetic refurbishment or redevelopment (subject to planning). The plot includes generous gardens and a double-sized garage, offering clear potential to extend or redevelop STP.
The property requires complete updating throughout: services, finishes and likely structural and damp checks should be anticipated. The attic has been floored and partitioned to create three additional rooms, but these alterations have not been checked against planning or building warrants. Buyers should factor in regularisation costs or redesign if they wish to retain those spaces.
Practical details that affect running and appeal: oil-fired central heating is installed, broadband speeds are very slow and the property is in an area classified as very deprived. Conversely, mobile signal is excellent and road links to Aberdeen and nearby towns make the location workable for commuters or rural occupants seeking renovation value.
This lot suits experienced investors, builders or buyers who can manage an extensive refit or redevelopment. The house’s size, plot and countryside setting offer significant uplift potential after works or if a new dwelling is sought by planning authorities. Internal inspection is essential to assess scope, costs and viability before bidding at auction.
