We are delighted to bring to the market, this exceptional, fully renovated, period property set within the heart of Donside, close to the Cairngorm National Park and just a few minutes from the ever popular village of Alford. “Bridgeton Farmhouse” is a prominent landmark with a considerable local history and was renovated in 1999. The current owners added the sun room in 2018 and have further upgraded the property to create the perfect family home, with the crisp neutral decor and quality modern fittings blending perfectly with the original period features. It benefits from oil fired central heating, hardwood double glazing, wood burning stove and also boasts delightful open countryside views. Other features include detached single garage, workshop and ample private parking. The grounds and paddock extend to around an acre. If you are looking for that premium rural retreat to enjoy relaxed rural living then this could certainly be the property that you have been looking for. We highly recommend early viewing to avoid missing out on the excellent opportunity.
