Coastal Living at Its Loveliest — Zulu Cottage Awaits

Characterful Two Bed Home Above Puffin Cottage

Low & Partners is delighted to market Zulu Cottage in Gardenstown, a charming two bed maisonette that captures the essence of coastal living. Set within one of the village’s most picturesque pockets, this beautiful seaside home enjoys traditional sash and case windows, electric heating, a shared mature garden, and a wonderfully warm, inviting feel throughout. The owner also holds the one bedroom flat beneath—Puffin Cottage—and wishes for both properties to be sold together, offering an exceptional opportunity for multi generational living, holiday let potential, or a spacious coastal retreat. Full details on Puffin Cottage are available separately.

A lovely entrance and staircase lead you up to the upper level, where a welcoming hallway provides access to the lounge and kitchen/dining area. A handy cupboard houses the consumer unit.

The lounge is a generous, bright space with dual aspect windows that frame the village and coastal surroundings beautifully. An open fire adds character and charm, while two storage heaters ensure comfort. A built in cupboard provides excellent storage and houses the water tank. A door from the lounge leads through to the shower room.

The kitchen/dining room is another impressive dual aspect space, offering plenty of room for cooking, dining, and entertaining. The red cabinetry creates a bold, stylish contrast, and the kitchen is well equipped with an integrated fridge, integrated freezer, dishwasher, double oven and hob. An electric storage heater completes the room.

Bedroom One is a lovely large double with wonderful windows overlooking the sea, allowing you to wake up to the sound and sight of the waves. A Velux window adds further natural light, and the room includes a built in cupboard and electric heater.

The WC is fitted with a toilet and sink and benefits from two privacy windows that keep the space bright yet secluded.

Bedroom Two is another well proportioned room with dual aspect gel windows, a built in cupboard, lighting, and an electric heater.

Outside, the property enjoys a shared, slabbed rear garden with mature planting that creates a peaceful outdoor space to relax and enjoy the coastal air. A side storage outhouse offers excellent potential as a utility area. Please note that the seller wishes for Zulu Cottage and Puffin Cottage to be purchased together.

Zulu Cottage presents a rare chance to secure a characterful coastal home with additional accommodation below, ideal for extended family, investment, or lifestyle flexibility. A truly lovely property in a sought after seaside village.

Location — Zulu Cottage, Gardenstown
Tucked away on the edge of the picturesque coastal village of Gardenstown, Zulu Cottage enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting with the sea, cliffs and winding lanes all close by. Gardenstown is known for its charming harbour, colourful cottages and dramatic coastline, offering a unique blend of tranquillity and character that makes it one of Aberdeenshire’s most sought after coastal communities.

Zulu Cottage sits within easy reach of the village’s local amenities, including the shop, café and shoreline walks, while the neighbouring villages of Crovie and Pennan add even more charm to the area. The wider region provides excellent access to Banff, Macduff and key commuter routes towards Aberdeen, yet still retains that quiet, tucked away feel that coastal buyers love.

A perfect spot for anyone seeking coastal living, scenic views and a peaceful escape, all wrapped up in Gardenstown’s warm, welcoming community.
