Overview

There are a choice of entry points into Old Manse Croft, with options to head straight into the house via the welcoming entrance hall, or opt to enter via the utility room to peel off muddy boots and wash up. There is also the option to take access from the garden via the conservatory into the kitchen, especially lovely when finishing a morning riverside walk.

Upon entering the property on the ground floor you will find a spacious bathroom with toilet, shower, and spacious corner bath. There is a large double bedroom opposite the sitting room with views down to the river.

The kitchen, sitting room and conservatory are all linked with a sizeable wood burning stove located centrally to heat the open living space.

A pine staircase with carpeted floor leads upstairs where there are two spacious bedrooms, the master room complimented by a walk in dressing room and balcony with stunning views out over the tennis court to the fields beyond and River Dee below. The upstairs bathroom has jack and jill doors, accessible from the second bedroom but also the landing for use by the master bedroom.

Land

The total area of land at Old Manse Croft extends to 24 acres or thereby. The soils are part of the Podzols major soil group, and are formed by the Humus-iron podzols subgroup. The land is classified as Grade 3.2 per the Land Capability for Agriculture (partial cover) maps from the James Hutton Institute.

The ground is currently utilised as grazing for horses and has been set out to accommodate this with paddocks and shelters on site.

There are multiple opportunities to maximise the land here, with tree planting, complimenting the existing mixed species shelter belts, and small scale wilding projects entirely possible. Equally, given the acreage there is a real opportunity here to create a desirable smallholding and raise various livestock or animals if desired.

Garden

The garden at Old Manse Croft provides ample space for relaxation, with a large area of mown grassland and various mature fruit trees blossoming throughout the summer. There is a large area to the side of the house which provides a perfect opportunity to create a small walled garden and grow a range of vegetables for use. Given the grassland in place at present, any purchaser is only limited by their imagination and time in creating a gardening retreat!

Sporting

Fishing rights are owned by another party, permits can be sought from the Upper Drum and Lower Durris owners or via FishPal if there are available rods.
It is understood that the other sporting rights are to be sold with the property where owned.

Buildings

Buildings at Old Manse Croft comprise a variety of traditional steadings and byres that provide a multitude of potential uses for an interested purchaser.

Currently the steadings are used for storage purposes, a snooker hall, and as a livery / tack room, however conversion of the buildings can be explored with the local authority.
