Low & Partners is delighted to market Woodend Cottage, Station Road, Mintlaw. This charming two-bedroom cottage enjoys a peaceful setting, tucked back from the road and surrounded by mature gardens. Sitting on a generous plot, the property offers exceptional versatility with two summer houses, a shed, a workshop/garage, and a substantial log cabin — ideal for those seeking space to run a business from home or explore future extension possibilities, subject to planning consents.

The wide entrance hallway provides access to all accommodation and features fitted carpet, lighting, and radiators, creating a warm and welcoming first impression. The lounge is a comfortable space with a window overlooking the garden, carpeted flooring, and a radiator, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen and dining area is fitted with stylish navy cabinetry installed approximately two years ago, complemented by contrasting worktops. All white goods are included, and a cupboard houses the six-year-old boiler and offers additional storage. A large window frames views of the rear garden, and a door leads through to the porch. The porch itself is bright and airy, with windows all around and a door opening to the side garden — a lovely spot to enjoy morning coffee.

The property offers two well-proportioned bedrooms. Bedroom one is a spacious double with laminate flooring, lighting, radiator, and a window overlooking the garden; all bedroom furniture will remain. Bedroom two is another generous room with a window to the rear, built-in wardrobes, carpet, lighting, and radiator. An attic hatch with Ramsay ladder provides access to a fully floored loft with lighting and plasterboard finish — an excellent additional space. The bathroom includes a bath with shower above, privacy window, wash hand basin, toilet, lighting, and radiator.

Externally, Woodend Cottage truly shines. The front garden is beautifully mature, fully fenced and gated, with a summer house benefitting from power and a patio area ideal for outdoor dining.
