Newton Of AuchingoulHuntly, Aberdeenshire, AB54 7UY

Newton of Auchingoul is a two storey stone and slate cottage that was built in the early 1900s with a single storey extension added in the late 1990s. The property has been significantly upgraded and well maintained by the sellers and it is double glazed throughout. Recent improvements include three new external doors, roof maintenance, two new upstairs bedroom windows and two new skylight windows. There is a feeling of bringing the outdoors in with large windows allowing an abundance of natural light. Pine farmhouse-style doors throughout add to the character. There is a fenced, mature garden and a paddock to the south which could be used for a variety of purposes. Newton of Auchingoul is in an exceptionally private position on a farm track with the nearest neighbours ¼ mile away.

A new UPVC front door leads to a recently upgraded entrance porch with repointed exposed stone walls and new insulation. A solid pine door leads to the entrance hall with a pine staircase and doors to the kitchen, sitting room and shower room. Tiled flooring continues from the entrance hall through the kitchen and into the extension.

The dining kitchen is of Laings of Inverurie and has lots of natural light from the dual aspect. This room is fitted with cream, base and wall cabinets with a high quality wood effect worktop and a double ceramic sink. Appliances include a Rangemaster with gas hob and electric oven and an American style fridge freezer. Off the kitchen is a very useful utility room which has a slimline dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer and the central heating boiler which has been serviced annually.

A door from the kitchen opens to a passage which leads to two double bedrooms, a bathroom and sitting room. The beautiful bathroom has a bath and separate shower. The sitting room is dual aspect and has square proportions.

From the main entrance hall, a door leads to the main sitting room which has a pine floor, a wooden shelved alcove and a Morso wood burning stove with a wooden mantel over as a focal point. Glazed French doors open from the sitting room to a study which has a tiled floor and a large window with two velux windows above. From the study a door leads to the rear porch which has built in storage cupboards and a further door leads to bedroom 5, a single bedroom with a large window with easterly views. This bedroom is currently used as a study.

A timber staircase leads to the first floor landing with two double bedrooms either side, each with a new carpet and a far reaching southerly view.

There is an extensive floored loft which runs the length of the extension, excellent for storage.

Outside: The garden grounds directly surrounding the cottage are mostly laid in lawn with mature trees and shrubs. A terrace surrounded by three ivy clad walls of the remains of a stone building makes a fine sheltered sitting area. To the south of the garden is a paddock. The drive has ample parking and turning space. There is an electric car charger attached to the house. Land adjacent to the house is SPEA registered for a static caravan.

Outbuilding: A large wooden shed with a corrugated iron roof with power and light.
