South Land Street, Buckie, AB56 1BX

This detached stone home in Buckie is more than a century old, with plenty of character on the outside and a smart, modern interior. One of the three bedrooms and the bathroom are on the ground floor, with two further bedrooms upstairs. Its location keeps shops and everyday amenities close, making it the perfect home for a couple, a small family or anyone looking for something a little different.

The front of the house has exposed stonework beneath a slate roof, with two windows and a wood effect front door. Step inside and the hallway immediately changes the feel. Natural timber doors, skirtings and facings bring plenty of warmth, while the staircase combines matching timber with polished metal spindles for a much more modern look. Patterned vinyl flooring runs through this central area.

The living room has a strong focal point in the black wood burning stove, set into a deep black fireplace against a full green feature wall. A thick timber mantel sits above, complementing the natural wood tones of the flooring. The room is not a regular shape and continues beyond the main seating area, helping it to feel generous. There’s plenty of space for a full sofa suite as well as additional furniture.

Leading from a glazed door in the living room, the kitchen has a completely different look. Dark woodgrain cabinets wrap around the walls beneath dark acrylic worktops. Long grey tiles run horizontally behind the work surfaces, while a wide glass extractor sits above the four burner gas hob and built in oven.

There is space for a tall freestanding fridge freezer at one end and a washing machine and dishwasher beneath the counters. The work surface also extends out into a breakfast bar, while dark flooring underfoot completes the room.

The first of the three bedrooms is on the ground floor and has plenty of room for a double bed and additional furniture. A full bank of glossy sliding wardrobes lines one wall, framed in natural timber and giving you plenty of built-in storage. One wall has vertical blue and grey striped wallpaper which adds some colour, while the remaining walls are painted in neutral tones.

The bathroom is also downstairs and makes good use of the space beneath the staircase. A full sized bath runs beneath the angled ceiling on one side, while a separate glazed shower enclosure gives you another option opposite. The white basin and toilet sit along one wall, with darker flooring and warm neutral wall colours keeping the room cosy.

Upstairs, bedroom two is a large double room shaped by the sloping ceilings on either side. A wide dormer window creates good headroom on one side and brings plenty of daylight into the room. The far wall has been lined in textured grey patterned wallpaper, while the surrounding walls and carpet are much lighter.

The third bedroom has a very different character again. Strong turquoise sections follow the angles at either side of the built-in wardrobe, with glossy white sliding doors and a timber surround. The dormer window creates a useful open area while the remaining white walls and light cream carpet give it a neutral finish.

Outside, lock block paving extends around the side and across the rear, leaving plenty of room for outdoor seating, flower pots and general use. With wide gates that open from the street, it gives you space to park cars privately and securely while stone walls keep it completely enclosed.

This is an older stone house that has the benefit of striking modern interiors. It’s definitely somewhere that you would be able to settle into straight away and make your own over time. Viewing is essential to truly take in all this property offers, so contact Hamish Homes to arrange yours now.
