A renovated pre-1850 cottage is a truly stunning and most charming property.
Presented for sale by Galbraith, Greenburn Cottage at Castle Fraser, Inverurie, Aberdeenshireis an excellent detached period property renovated in 2001 to create a well-designed, spacious home.
Finished with quality woodwork alongside the traditional features of the wood burning stove, the property is immensely attractive.
The current owners instantly fell in love with Greenburn Cottage in 2000 and saw the immense potential it held. After much consideration, thought and love, and guided by a local architect, the property was taken back to the three walls of the original cottage and slowly, during 2001 was sympathically rebuilt and extended to create an exceptional family home.
The superior specification and attention to detail in the design is very evident throughout the home and much thought has gone into creating a spacious, versatile and well-designed house. Over more recent years a priority for the present owners is to ensure the property is as energy and self-sufficient as possible and currently Greenburn Cottage holds an incredible ‘A’ energy rating.
