Description

Banks Farm is a charming traditional farmhouse with a steading and land, nestled in a tranquil yet accessible location near Cairnie, between Huntly and Keith in Aberdeenshire. This spacious Banffshire farmhouse, dating from the 1870s, offers well-appointed accommodation extending to approximately 216 square metres over two storeys. The ground floor features a welcoming boot room with seating, a cloakroom, a substantial dining kitchen with a stone flagged floor and a solid fuel Rayburn, a utility room, a cosy sitting room with a wood burning stove, a study, and a living room that can also serve as a fourth bedroom. The first floor hosts three good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing (apart from two dormer windows) and is heated by a combination of solid fuel from the Rayburn and oil. The surrounding garden, established over the past 20 years, is a delightful oasis, enveloped by mature beech hedging and filled with a variety of plants, shrubs, fruit trees, and ornamental features such as a pergola and trellis, complemented by areas of lawn and two aluminium framed greenhouses. Adjacent to the house stands a traditionally built steading in a 'C' shape, under a slate roof, offering excellent storage and potential for further development, subject to the necessary consents. The enclosed courtyard has been used as a secure area for poultry, and a former silage pit provides additional covered space. The total grounds extend to about 13 hectares (32.2 acres), comprising two fields with tree plantings and amenity woodland, offering potential for grazing and a picturesque outlook over the surrounding countryside. The property is IACS registered but the vendors do not own any subsidy payment entitlement. Banks Farm is a unique opportunity for those seeking a country retreat with character, set in a beautiful and private location, yet with easy access to local amenities and transport links.
