Small and traditional in Aberdeenshire

Smiths Gore’s Fochabers Office are marketing Bairnsdale, a beautifully situated small, traditional farmhouse. The property was at the centre of a small traditional tenanted, arable/livestock farm but offers considerable potential for residential development.

The well proportioned traditional farmhouse, which has particularly fine stonework on the front elevation, requires modernisation and could be extended.

The nearby village of Fyvie is perhaps best known for Fyvie Castle an impressive and historic 13th century castle now open to the public and a popular tourist attraction in the summer months. The village has a general store, post office and garage. More comprehensive facilities including secondary schooling and supermarkets are available in the nearby towns of Oldmeldrum 8 miles to the south and Turriff 9 miles to the north where there are a range of facilities including shops, banks and restaurants.

Aberdeen is within easy commuting distance 26 miles to the southeast. The city is the regional centre for the north-east of Scotland and the capital of the north sea oil industry and provides a comprehensive range of facilities. Domestic and international flights and main line railway services are also available. The area is also well served with leisure and tourist facilities. Fyvie is in the heart of the Aberdeenshire countryside and a good location from which to explore the many historic houses and castles in the area, as well as other leisure facilities including golf, with local courses at Fyvie and Turriff, shooting and fishing.

Jamie Watson, of selling agents Smiths Gore’s Fochabers office says:

“The popular and accessible village of Fyvie is perhaps best known for Fyvie Castle, an impressive and historic 13th century castle open to the public through the National Trust for Scotland.

“Bairnsdale is just outside the village in a picturesque location and offers huge potential.”

Bairnsdale has been placed on the market for offers over £140,000.
