About this property

  • 10 Harbour Street is a charming stone-built cottage set in an idyllic coastal village setting. Updated and refurbished, with a new mansard felt roof, this delightful and beautifully-presented home boasts a move-straight-in level of finish and would make an ideal holiday/weekend retreat or a lovely permanent home. Of special mention are the stunning sea views and private garden which sits directly opposite and from where there is direct access to the beach.

    The accommodation begins with a welcoming hallway with wood flooring, a feature which continues throughout the property. A pretty, turned staircase leads upstairs to the first floor. To the left is a cosy snug which faces to the front and has a traditional log burner. To the right is the heart of the home: the bright sitting room/dining room which spans the full length of the house and has the kitchen off. The sitting room has a stone fireplace with timber mantel and wood burning stove along with a recess for log storage. There are windows to the front and also to the rear where the dining room is situated. The fitted kitchen is attractively designed and makes clever use of space, with modern base units and integrated dishwasher, washing machine and free standing fridge freezer Completing the ground floor is a downstairs bedroom and modern shower room.

    Upstairs are a further three bedrooms – two doubles and a single, the latter making an ideal home office – all set off a good-sized landing. The principal bedroom has twin aspect windows and built in wardrobes. Also on this level is another contemporary shower room, this one with extra-large walk in shower.

    A former car port has been re-imagined as a potting shed/garden room with access to a courtyard.

    Outside: 10 Harbour Street has a small strip of garden to the back of the house but its main outdoor space lies opposite. This delightful gated garden is enclosed by a fence and leads to the Water of Cruden estuary and directly onto the beach. There is a paved seating area, white painted summer house and useful storage sheds.

Local information

  • Cruden Bay is a small village on the north coast of the Bay of Cruden, Aberdeenshire, just west of Slains Castle. It is a firm favourite with visitors thanks to its big skies and wide horizons, sandy white beach (with Blue Flag status), crystal clear waters and quaint fishing harbour. The Bay of Cruden has a sweeping expanse of golden sands approximately 2.5km in length. The entire bay is a designated bathing water area and moorings can be available at the harbour. One of Aberdeenshire’s finest sandscapes can be seen at the Cruden Bay Golf Club, a traditional Scottish links course originally designed by Tom Morris of St Andrews and re-designed in the 1920s by Tom Simpson and Herbert Fowler. The panoramic views across the coast and of nearby Slains Castle in the distance are breathtaking.
  • Cruden Bay has a medium-sized primary school, while secondary schooling is available at Ellon Academy. There is public transport available from Cruden Bay to Ellon to cover school hours. There are a few small shops, a chemist/newsagent, a post office, a craft shop and a general store. There is also a medical practice and library. There are good sports facilities, with tennis courts and two football pitches. The school and public hall house a number of youth groups such as Girlguiding UK.
  • To the south lies Newburgh, where you can find a village shop, as well as an 18-hole golf course. Trump International Golf Links, a world renowned course, is located along the road from Newburgh.
