3 bedroom house

DESCRIPTION
Glenlochar Farmhouse offers a detached riverside property with paddock and outbuildings in a desirable location. The farmhouse of solid stone construction, dates back to the 1870s and presents well. Offering three bedrooms together with a living room with wood burning stove and modern fitted kitchen/dining area with breakfast bar. The property further benefits from oil central heating and UPVC full double glazing throughout. Huge potential exists to further develop the farmhouse into the adjoining outbuilding, which is currently in a derelict state. This could create a much larger property and further opportunity to take greater advantage of the stunning location looking over the River Dee/Ken and Glenlochar barrage. (Any building works would be subject to planning consents being obtained). Externally the property benefits from a range of outbuildings with a sizeable workshop and adjoining store. To the North a large enclosed paddock with alternative field access point. Glenlochar Farmhouse has the fishing rights along the extent of the boundary on the bank of the River. A rare opportunity to purchase an attractive package with great potential to further develop in a stunning riverside setting.
