VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMEND
We are delighted to have been instructed to market this superb detached 5 bedroom cottage in an excellent rural location but within walking distance of the thriving village of Alford. It has been extensively upgraded and extended by the current owners and while maintaining a very traditional cottage appearance from the outside offers very spacious, well designed and modern accommodation on the inside. Benefitting from oil fired central heating and UPVC double glazing it also sits within a very generous feu and boasts stunning country views. Other features of note are the open plan living spaces including beautifully appointed dining kitchen, secluded rear decking area and it even has its own outdoor Gin bar. Early viewing of this one is highly recommended.
