3 Playfairs Courtyard, Cullen, Buckie AB56 4XW

3 Playfairs Courtyard is an attractive four-bedroom home forming part of the historic Cullen House estate, set within peaceful mature grounds surrounded by woodland and open countryside. Originally the game larder for Cullen House, the property is one of a small collection of individual residences created from the estate buildings.

Cullen House is an impressive example of French-style castellated Scottish architecture, with origins dating back many centuries and strong associations with the Earls of Seafield and the family of Robert the Bruce. In 1982, the house and ancillary buildings were sensitively converted into individual homes, preserving much of their original character.

Extending to approximately 178 Sq m, the accommodation is arranged over two principal floors with additional attic space. Character features throughout include exposed stonework, timber detailing and vaulted ceilings.

The ground floor comprises a generous dual-aspect sitting room with fireplace and garden access, a formal dining room, and a well-appointed kitchen featuring a distinctive turquoise Everhot range.

On the first floor are four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes, together with a family bathroom and separate shower room. A spiral staircase leads to a useful attic landing, currently used as a gym, and further floored attic storage.

GARDENS & GROUNDS

Externally, the property enjoys its own private garden, providing a secluded area immediately adjoining the house.

Beyond the private garden, residents of Cullen House have access to approximately 18 acres of mature gardens, woodland and grounds. The landscape includes established trees and planting, lawns, woodland paths and the Cullen Burn, creating an attractive setting for walking and enjoying the outdoors.

The grounds have a particularly appealing sense of maturity, with the historic architecture of Cullen House sitting naturally amongst the established landscape. Paths lead through the woodland and alongside the burn, with a number of historic features adding interest along the way.

The Cullen Burn runs through the estate, and fishing is available, subject to the appropriate local permits. The grounds also include historic bridges, including the single-arched stone bridge over the burn and Prince Charlie's Bridge.

The extensive grounds are maintained collectively by the residents through an annual contribution. This provides the opportunity to enjoy the gardens, woodland and walks without the responsibility of maintaining such a substantial area individually. The current contribution for 3 Playfairs Courtyard is approximately £1,600 per annum.

For those who enjoy gardening, walking and the outdoors, this arrangement offers an attractive balance, with a private garden immediately outside the property and the wider estate available to explore and enjoy.

3 Playfairs Courtyard offers a distinctive opportunity to own a home within Cullen House and to become part of a historic setting, surrounded by established gardens, mature woodland and architecture which has stood for centuries.
