An idyllic gardener’s cottage in Aberdeenshire has just hit the market for less than £200,000, and it has been described by sellers as “a rare and special opportunity”. While the home is in need of some modernisation, it is more than worthy of being named the Daily Record’s latest Property of the Week.
Gardeners Cottage is a charming two-to-three-bedroom cottage tucked away within the grounds of an impressive Victorian country house, sitting in 0.6 acres of its own garden space. It is currently on the market through estate agents Galbraith for offers over £195,000.
The gorgeous stone cottage is set out over two floors and features lovely arched windows, with Galbraith stating it “has an abundance of potential”. However, the estate agents also say that the property is in need of “considerable work and modernisation” to realise its full potential.

Stepping inside the cottage, there is a front vestibule that leads through to an entrance hall with stairs up to the first floor. The ground level is home to a sitting room that leads through to the kitchen, and a dining room that could also act as the property’s third bedroom.

Gardeners Cottage’s two primary double bedrooms are located upstairs, as is a central bathroom positioned between them. Outside, the garden grounds are bordered by mature woodland and open fields. There is also a detached single garage, as well as a timber shed, a dog run, and a kennel.

Although Gardeners Cottage has a peaceful and secluded setting, it is also within easy reach of a number of towns and villages. Kirkton of Skene is a short walk away and is known for its popular Bothy 57 coffee shop. The town of Westhill is only three miles away and is home to shops like Tesco, Marks and Spencer, and many other amenities.

Aberdeen is also only around 30 minutes from Gardeners Cottage by car, and offers all of the facilities and services you would expect from a modern city. In addition to its many food and drink venues, Aberdeen also features popular attractions such as His Majesty’s Theatre and the Aberdeen Art Gallery.
Galbraith state: “This charming property is tucked away within the grounds of an impressive Victorian country house, providing a peaceful and secluded setting, along with over half an acre of its own private grounds. Requiring modernisation throughout, this is an excellent opportunity to create a home to one’s own specification in a beautiful location, surrounded by mature woodland and open fields.
“Aberdeen city centre is 11 miles. Westhill is also well placed for easy access to the business parks in Westhill, Kingswells and Dyce, while the pretty village Kirkton of Skene is only a short walk.”
