We are pleased to present this unique opportunity to acquire two detached properties, located in the picturesque village of Braemar, within the desirable Royal Deeside.
These properties, which offer excellent potential, are in need of modernisation, providing an ideal canvas for buyers looking to restore or develop the homes to their own specification. The properties are located on a sizeable plot of land allowing for a multitude of possibilities.
The property to the front is known as Havelock and is a charming granite detached house with a rear extension. Havelock offers spacious accommodation across two floors. The ground floor features two public rooms with front aspects, a kitchen leading into a rear hallway, and an extension at the back, which has been configured as a self-contained granny flat. This extension includes a lounge/kitchenette and a bedroom off the lounge, as well as a shower room conveniently located off the rear hallway. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, a WC, and a further shower room. To the rear of Havelock is a shed, perfect for additional storage.
The property located behind is known as Firbank and is a detached home with great potential, offering two ground-floor bedrooms, a bathroom, lounge, and kitchen. A ladder provides access to the upper level, where two attic rooms can be found, which are ideal for storage or future development. To the rear of Firbank is a workshop, offering practical space for hobbies or projects.
The expansive garden grounds surrounding both homes are a particular highlight, with large areas of lawn, providing a delightful outdoor space. A vehicle access to the right of the plot allows for easy entry to both properties, and an established woodland to the rear gives a perfect rural backdrop. There is a gate to the rear of the garden which gives access into the woodland, which is a popular walk for many residents.
This is a rare and exciting offering in a highly desirable location, ideal for those seeking a project with the potential to create something truly special. Both properties provide excellent space, scope for modernisation, and the opportunity to create a unique family home or holiday retreat.
Both properties are sold as seen.
