High Street, Archiestown, Aberlour, Banffshire

59 High Street offers the opportunity to acquire a property in the Speyside village of Archiestown, with a proposed two-bedroom bungalow and three existing buildings already on site.
The owner proposes a Scandinavian-style micro-home design, with a single-storey layout and contemporary finishes. A self-contained cabin, separate artist studio or home office and insulated workshop accompany the project. Archiestown lies in the heart of Speyside, close to renowned distilleries including Macallan and Cardhu. The original sales particulars describe open countryside views towards Ben Rinnes.

The revised plan provides two bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite, a separate bathroom and an open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area.
Planning permission and a new building warrant have been applied for. Construction is intended to begin once both are in place, with the owner anticipating a 2027 build and completion project.

PLANNING & BUILD PROGRAMME SERVICES & TENURE
Mains water, drainage and electricity are identified in the existing particulars. The owner confirms working services to the cabin and Wi-Fi to the cabin and studio. These have not been independently tested by CCL. The existing particulars describe the tenure as freehold, subject to confirmation of title by the purchaser’s solicitor.

Contact CCL to discuss the proposed build, final specification, completion arrangements and what is included in the sale. The owner is happy to answer questions from interested purchasers through the selling agent.

These particulars are a general guide and do not form part of any contract. A detailed survey has not been carried out, nor services, appliances or fittings tested. Photographs show the existing site and buildings. Drawings show the proposed bungalow and do not represent a completed house.
Plans are illustrative and not to scale. Areas are approximate. Purchasers should verify title, boundaries, consents, specification and all matters material to their decision. The owner’s glazing specification differs from the uPVC glazing noted on the drawings, so the final specification must be confirmed.

The owner’s update of 8 October 2026 confirms applications for new full planning permission and a
building warrant for the two-bedroom bungalow. The owner estimated 12 to 16 weeks to secure these, with building to follow and a 2027 build and completion anticipated. Timing remains subject to approvals and the construction programme.
