Gary Moyse and Remax are delighted to offer to the market a very rare
opportunity to acquire a substantial fully renovated five bedroom former
farmhouse overlooking the beautiful River Don. The current owners have
painstakingly stripped back the whole property and sympathetically created a
modern family home with exquisite attention to detail and maintaining many of
the original features. The moment you enter this stunning home you will warm
to its charm and appreciate the exceptionally high standard of finish. It
benefits from lpg gas central heating, original style double glazing and log
burning stove. The property would also lend itself to be suitable for multi
generation occupation due to it's very versatile layout and two separate
entrances.
