Lot 1 Upper Kinnadie Farmhouse About 0.42 acres | EPC Rating E
Upper Kinnadie Farmhouse is a delightful traditional farmhouse built of stone under a slate roof and enjoys a southerly aspect. Spanning two floors, the property provides spacious accommodation and maintains many period features including restored pine woodwork, high ceilings and cornicing. The property enjoys an attractive rural location within easy reach of Aberdeen, situated just 26 miles north of the Granite City.

The property is entered through the front door into a welcoming hall with restored pine doors leading to the ground floor accommodation and a matching turn staircase leading to the first floor.

The main focal point of the dual aspect sitting room is the feature fireplace with attractive inlay tiles. This light and spacious room benefits from deep skirting boards and cornicing. The room has southerly views over open farmland.

The bright and airy east facing dining kitchen benefits from a walk-in larder partially panelled in original restored tongue and groove pine with integral shelf unit.

Bedroom 2 is a large south facing room with built-in cupboard. The family bathroom completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

The staircase leads to Bedroom 4 on a mezzanine floor. Off the first floor landing is the master bedroom, Bedroom 3 and large storage cupboard.

Full planning was granted in 2010 to extend the farmhouse to create another bathroom, utility room and front sun porch (ref: B/APP/2010/2989).
Garden
Upper Kinnadie is set within extensive walled garden grounds mainly laid to lawn. An attractive old stone building stands in the grounds and could be renovated to provide garages or an annexe (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents). The sellers have designed and created the now mature garden. There are well stocked beds and borders with a variety of interesting trees and bushes including plum, apple and elder trees. There is a very productive fruit and vegetable garden and a pond to add to the atmosphere of the garden. There is also a terrace area ideal for al fresco dining.

(ref: B/APP/2008/1898) to convert this building into two 4 and 3 bedroom dwellinghouses with garage.

This property represents a fine development opportunity and would make a stunning family home. The Aberdeenshire local plan is totally supportive of the conversion of non-residential vernacular buildings to single dwellings. We consider that this is the case for Upper Kinnadie Steading.
