Full Description: Uppermill Cottage is a traditional detached rural home set within a generous plot just outside Hatton. The property is lived in, loved, and mid renovation — offering a rare opportunity for buyers who want a countryside setting, solid character features, and the scope to complete a renovation to their own specification. It’s a project, absolutely, but one with genuine upside for anyone prepared to invest time and funds into finishing it.<br /><br />Accommodation<br />Sunroom<br />A bright, dual aspect sunroom forming the main entrance, with tiled flooring and open countryside views. Currently used as a practical everyday space for boots, plants and storage. <br /><br />Hall<br />Central hall with timber staircase, with the dining room to the left and the lounge to the right. The lounge is the section of the home currently undergoing major renovation, with flooring and ceiling works in progress. The hall itself remains a practical everyday space.<br /><br />Lounge<br />A large room currently in the renovation phase, with exposed stonework, timber ceiling beams and excellent natural light. The scale and character are clear, giving buyers a strong foundation for a future main living space.<br /><br />Dining Room<br />A warm, inviting room centred around a substantial stone fireplace with wood burning stove. Timber flooring, artwork and shelving create a homely, lived in feel. Easily the most complete room in the house and a standout feature.<br /><br />Kitchen<br />A compact, functional kitchen with white cabinetry, grey tiled flooring and freestanding appliances.

Dark mosaics contrast with white walls. Functional and modernised.<br /><br />Exterior<br />Front of House<br />Traditional detached cottage with slate roof, dormers and twin chimneys. The large glazed sunroom gives the property a distinctive look. The garden is natural with mature shrubs and a relaxed countryside feel.<br /><br />Rear of House<br />The rear elevation shows ongoing renovation works, including scaffolding and stored materials. Whitewashed walls, slate roof and green rain fittings maintain the traditional look. <br /><br />Outbuilding / Garage & Summerhouse<br />A practical rear section of the plot with a stone outbuilding for storage, a timber summerhouse with glazed doors, firewood storage and a composting area. Surrounded by mature greenery, reinforcing the rural, self sufficient feel.<br /><br />Location<br />Uppermill Cottage sits in a peaceful rural pocket just outside Hatton, with Peterhead around eight miles away for full services, supermarkets and schooling. The setting is quiet and surrounded by farmland, offering open views and a genuine countryside feel. The main road is visible from parts of the plot and lightly audible at times, but not intrusive, and daily living still feels very much rural. Coastal walks, Hatton’s amenities and main transport links remain close enough to keep the location practical.<br /><br />Note:<br />SSEN Transmission is carrying out wider area upgrade works, including overhead line and battery storage infrastructure. These are regional projects with no known direct impact on Uppermill Cottage. Buyers should review SSEN’s published plans as part of their due diligence.
