Braehead of Slack is a traditional stone cottage with a private & secluded location in the beautiful Upper Deeside area of Aberdeenshire. Accessed up a track road, for which there is a right of access, this cottage is located up on the hill with generous garden grounds. The property requires a degree of upgrading throughout and offers excellent potential. Alongside the cottage is the detached stone steading, which offers super storage and workshop space or could also be considered for conversion into a further dwelling with the necessary consents. The accommodation within the cottage currently comprises entrance vestibule, bathroom and dining kitchen. The inner hall leads to a sitting room with wood burning stove, a further family room/dining room with patio doors to the garden and finally a double bedroom. Upstairs there are two equally generous double bedrooms. There are generous garden grounds and many lovely walks from your front door giving you incredible panoramic views as far as Lochnagar.
Less than 150 metres from the start of the track, leading to Braehead of Slack, is the viewing point of the magnificent uninterrupted views known as ‘The Queens View’. ‘The Queens View’ gained its name from Queen Victoria who quickly fell in love with the view of the lower valley of the Dee which includes a view of the peak of Lochnagar. The view is particularly loved by the royals who find it an unspoiled beauty which has not altered greatly for hundreds of years making it even more remarkable and memorable, and a view which epitomises Aberdeenshire.
Braehead of Slack is a rare opportunity for any potential buyer. The property offers great potential for those buyers looking for a quiet rural family lifestyle. Equally it’s an ideal purchase to create a second home, a holiday let business or for retirement in an idyllic location.
