Full Description: Whilst Elm Croft has no immediate neighbours, the town of Fraserburgh is only 6.2 miles away, offering a great selection of recreational and leisure opportunities as well as supermarkets, a family run butchers and banking facilities. Further afield, Aberdeenshire offers a multitude of recreational and leisure opportunities including hillwalking, fishing, skiing, golf courses, water sports, coastal trails and many more. The Cairngorms National Park is a short drive and the Castle and Whisky trails of Aberdeenshire and Moray prove very popular. Other local towns such as Turriff and Peterhead can be reached within thirty minutes further diversifying the offering of shops and amenities locally. <br /> <br />The land at Elm Croft, extending to around 7 acres, provides plentiful space to graze a small number of livestock or horses, with outbuildings providing suitable areas for the creation of stables or perhaps livestock housing for sheep or goats. <br /> <br />It should be noted that, per the Home Report, the house and buildings have been identified as requiring further investigations and possible substantial works both structurally and to the roofs so viewers should be aware before viewing. Due to the current condition and non-traditional nature of the main roof, Elm Croft would not be recommended as a suitable security for mortgage purposes which should also be taken into consideration. <br /> <br />Whilst requiring work, Elm Croft has been, and undoubtably will again be, a home with many memories made and many to be made in the future and offers a unique opportunity to acquire a two bedroom house, with a versatile range of small buildings and two useful grazing paddocks. <br /> <br />Accommodation comprises: <br /> <br />Spacious porch, living room come dining room, two double bedrooms, accessible bathroom with shower and toilet, kitchen through to a secondary entrance leading to an office/larder and storage area. <br /> <br />Whilst modernisation is required, the house and buildings are a fantastic canvas to make a smallholding dream become a reality. <br /> <br />Property Details <br /> <br />EPC: <br />Band F <br /> <br />Council Tax: <br />Band E <br /> <br />Windows and Doors: <br />Mostly double glazing <br /> <br />Services: <br />Mains electricity, private water supply with septic tank. <br /> <br />Heating: <br />Oil central heating with external tank. <br /> <br />Services: <br />Mains electricity, private water, & private drainage <br /> <br />Local Authority: <br />Aberdeenshire Council, 14 Saltoun Square, Fraserburgh AB43 9DB <br /> <br />Entry: <br />By arrangement <br /> <br />Mineral Rights & Sporting Rights: <br />Included in the sale, insofar as they are owned. <br /> <br />Note: <br />Prospective purchasers should note that unless their interest in the property is formally intimated to the selling agents following inspection, the agents cannot guarantee that notice of a closing date for offers will be advised and consequently the property may be sold without notice. <br /> <br />Anti Money Laundering Compliance: <br />In accordance with The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, we are required to carry out checks and due diligence on property purchasers.
