Hacklaw Smithy, Rothiemay, AB54 7NE

We are delighted to offer for sale this spacious and versatile three/four-bedroom detached property, set within a generous plot in the lovely village of Rothiemay. The property does require upgrading and modernisation throughout, however, it offers well-proportioned accommodation, established gardens and two substantial former workshop buildings, making this a property with lots of potential.

The accommodation is spread over two floors and includes a spacious front-facing lounge, generous kitchen with adjoining utility room, bathroom, three good-sized bedrooms and a further versatile room which has previously been used as a home office and could also be used as a fourth bedroom. The two upstairs bedrooms are both a good size, with a spacious landing providing access to them.

Externally, the property has a large driveway with a central circular grassed area, providing ample parking and allowing vehicles to manoeuvre easily around the plot. The mature gardens wrap around the property and include areas of lawn, patio and chipped stone, along with a variety of established trees, shrubs and plants. There is also a greenhouse, drying green and double carport, which connects the house to the old smiddy building. The first smiddy building is a traditional stone-built, L-shaped former workshop, with a new roof installed in 2018. It has large metal sliding doors, skylights and pedestrian access, with electricity available to be reconnected. The second is a much larger former workshop constructed with a steel frame and corrugated metal walls. It offers a substantial amount of space, including a mezzanine deck, two large sliding doors suitable for lorries and agricultural machinery, pedestrian access and a separate WC area.

The combination of the house, generous garden, ample parking and substantial outbuildings makes this a really versatile property. Although the house requires some upgrading, it offers a great opportunity for someone to modernise it to their own taste and make the most of the space, grounds and extensive workshop facilities.
