Summary - Montgarrie, Alford, AB33 AB33 8AP
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Substantial four-bedroom granite house with riverside gardens and outbuilding potential..
Period granite detached house with sympathetic modern extension
Set deep in tranquil countryside near Alford, this substantial period granite house combines traditional character with a sympathetic modern extension. Large open-plan living areas and a generous master suite sit alongside original features such as a wood-burning stove and dormer windows, delivering comfortable family living across approximately 1,465 sq ft.
The enclosed, landscaped gardens are a standout, with private river access, a covered rear terrace for outdoor entertaining, and several outbuildings that offer realistic development potential (subject to consents). The layout can support multi-generation living with ground-floor accommodation and separate bedroom and shower facilities.
Practical features include oil-fired central heating and double glazing; broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent. The house sits in a remote, very deprived rural community with limited local services — public transport is available but amenities are sparse — so it suits buyers seeking privacy and countryside life rather than urban convenience.
Overall this property will particularly appeal to families or buyers wanting space, privacy and scope to add value through outbuilding conversion or modernisation. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the setting, internal proportions and the potential on offer.
