Cottage in Aberdeenshire

About this property

Hidden by tall trees and surrounded by acres of rolling green fields, this converted Victorian Dwelling offers a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Set in the beautiful grounds of the grand Knockespoch Estate, this charming cottage is an ideal bolthole for two. Relax in your own private garden, navigate the various trails, or find a quiet nook to spot the resident wildlife. Aberdeenshire is famous for its rich history, with plenty of castles, battlefields and ancient monuments within driving distance, such as Huntly Castle 12 miles away. If you prefer a quieter pace of life, there are plenty of fishing and golfing opportunities too. Converted from a traditional Victorian dwelling, the property is single level and spacious. Entering the hallway via the sun porch, you'll discover a masterpiece of wooden detail, complementing a true lodge style. The lounge is a wonderfully cosy room with high vaulted ceilings, comfortable sofas and an original stone feature wall. Throw a log on the wood burner and curl up with a wee dram, watching the TV or simply enjoying the atmosphere. The kitchen is bright and cheerful, equipped with everything you'll need to prepare a sumptuous supper, best enjoyed at the table. The roaring open fire in the bedroom is a real treat, especially when teamed with the king size bed dressed in crisp linen. You'll feel thoroughly spoilt in the wooden panelled bathroom, which features an irresistible bath for a good long soak. Outside, the panoramic views of the surrounding grounds are a fitting backdrop for sharing a bottle of wine. Sizzle up something special on the BBQ for dining alfresco, or pack up a picnic and set off to explore. The sweeping lawn gives way to acres of beautiful woodland and open fields, perfect for a quiet evening stroll. Need to know: 1 king size bedroom. 1 bathroom with separate shower.
