DryburnOrdhead, Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, AB51 7RL

Built around 1850, Dryburn is a former farmhouse and steading which was completely renovated and extended in 1990. Set in about 1.16 acres, it is surrounded by fields and countryside formed by the Cluny Estate and therefore enjoys a lovely, rural setting. The house is arranged over 1.5 storeys and at present has three bedrooms plus a spacious home office. An attached former wing has been converted into an annex providing ancillary accommodation. There may be potential to further develop the garage/workshop (with loft) subject to the necessary consents.

Step inside through the welcoming vestibule and into a gracious hallway that immediately sets the tone for this charming home. From here, the heart of the house unfolds in the form of a bright and inviting dining kitchen, thoughtfully designed in a traditional style. At its centre stands a striking British Racing Green Rayburn range, lending both character and warmth, while ample space ensures the room effortlessly accommodates a family dining table, perfect for everyday living as well as relaxed entertaining.

The generous ground floor living spaces are both versatile and full of charm. The dining room enjoys a seamless connection to the garden through patio doors, allowing natural light to pour in and offering an ideal setting for indoor-outdoor living. The sitting room is equally appealing, boasting attractive views and centred around a delightful fireplace, creating a cosy yet elegant retreat. A further reception room, currently arranged as a snug home office, provides a peaceful haven complete with its own fireplace, ideal for quiet work or relaxation.

Also on this level is a well-proportioned double bedroom, presently used as a study/workroom, with the added benefit of an adjoining bathroom and walk-in wardrobe (this room could be used as a nursery – and was by the previous owners), offering excellent flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. Practicality is well catered for with a pantry, utility room, and an additional bathroom featuring a separate shower. Completing the ground floor is a charming conservatory, perfectly positioned to enjoy the garden outlook throughout the seasons.

Upstairs, two comfortable bedrooms are complemented by a useful boxroom for additional storage. Adding further appeal is the annexe wing, which offers a self-contained bedroom with en suite facilities and its own external access. This thoughtful arrangement provides the perfect solution for independent guests, visiting family, or potential income opportunities, ensuring privacy and versatility within this delightful home.

Outside: The fully enclosed garden offers a wonderfully private and versatile outdoor space, generous in scale yet thoughtfully manageable. A tranquil pond nestles in one corner, adding a peaceful focal point, while the surrounding grounds have been carefully landscaped with sweeping lawns, established shrub beds and a productive fruit and vegetable area. A charming rose garden and mature apple trees bring seasonal colour and interest, complemented by thoughtfully planted deciduous trees, predominantly Aspen, with a picturesque row of willow lining the southern boundary. The garage and workshop provide excellent practical space, complete with power and light, and feature an external staircase leading to the original hayloft above, where a skylights floods the area with natural light, making it ideal for storage or further potential use. A gravel driveway offers ample parking, and a series of concrete patios, positioned at the front, off the conservatory, and from the dining room, create inviting spots for outdoor seating and entertaining, all framed by post and wire fencing with soft hedging enhancing the sense of seclusion.

Garage: Double garage with power and light. Two up and over vehicular doors.
