New Leslie House

SITUATION
New Leslie House is located just 2.5 miles from Auchleven and 4 miles from Insch, which is an increasingly popular small town with excellent amenities including local primary schools, nurseries, shops, doctor’s surgery and chemist. Insch also has regular bus and train services, ideal for commuting north to Huntly and South to Dyce or Aberdeen City Centre. Secondary education is provided nearby at either The Gordon Schools at Huntly or Inverurie Academy. Excellent hillwalking facilities are nearby on the Bennachie range and the surrounding area is superb for many outdoor sports.

Aberdeen is some 29 miles, and provides all the leisure, recreational and entertainment facilities expected from the oil capital of Europe. It also provides good transport links with a mainline railway station and is host to an airport providing both domestic and international flights.

DESCRIPTION
New Leslie House is a charming & spacious detached farmhouse sat in around 1.2 acres in the beautiful Aberdeenshire countryside. The farmhouse has generous accommodation over two levels and comprises an entrance hall with access to the useful utility room and separate family bathroom with three piece suite and overhead shower. Continuing through, there is a very spacious and bright family / dining room and the large country style dining kitchen, which is the heart of the home. Overlooking the front garden there is the sitting room with a cosy wood burning stove and completing the accommodation to the ground floor is the double bedroom with large wardrobes. Upstairs there is an open landing with large velux window, ideal as a reading space or
office area. Large bright double bedroom, further bedroom and shower room. A loft room provides great storage space. Outside there are beautiful gardens to the front flanked by mature trees and with a southerly aspect, offering great outdoor space for children and families.

The detached steading offers impressive ancillary accommodation extending to over 170sqm. Well converted and designed, this separate traditional stone building offers flexible & versatile space which has an entrance hall, modern dining kitchen, bathroom, utility room, home office and four large rooms currently used as bedrooms, living
space and a sitting room to the first floor. Ideal as multi-generational accommodation, this would also be ideal for those looking to run a holiday let or run a business, with the necessary consents. Further garden ground lies to the east side of the steading and to the rear is a detached workshop. Plenty parking lies between the properties and an
open front garage adjoins the steading building.
New Leslie House & the ancillary steading have proven perfect as multi-generational accommodation over the past years, with members of the same family living separately
with plenty space and privacy, yet within close proximity of one another. The versatility
is endless and therefore early viewing of New Leslie House is highly recommended.

GARDEN GROUNDS
New Leslie House sits in beautiful mature garden grounds. Closest to the house at the rear is a sheltered patio area for outdoor seating and a path continues round to the front garden. The garden is mainly laid to grass lawn and steps lead down to the lower lawn, flanked by mature trees and offering superb outdoor space. Furthermore,
there is an additional area of lawn beyond this, bound by hedging and fencing and would be ideal as a vegetable garden or orchard. There is further garden ground to the side of the steading building, again laid to lawn and surrounded by open countryside. This area of garden has previously been granted planning permission for a separate
dwelling, although now expired. A large area for parking sits between the farmhouse and steading and there is a single, open fronted, garage and workshop.
