A colleague just pointed this link out to me on Rightmove.

It's a four bedroom house with barns, set in five acres, about an hour's drive North of Aberdeen. Anyhow, since it would make a cracking family house and smallholding I thought I'd re-post on here, just in case.......

(If bought by anybody from TAS, I'll take my referral fee in beer please!

Lived in New Deer for a couple of years, wonderful area, had to double check whether it was a friend near there. If I didn't love my hillside so much I would be back up there.

That has soooooo much potential, I wonder if my cousin would be interested??

Yup, it's got potential but it needs a lot of work.

me thinks that house would need a MAJOR overhaul

I suppose it depends what you want, rooms look a bit small, but topline of roof and roof itself looks good, it looks like all the rest of the crofts up there, small, cosy but quite nice once you accept the size

I think that lounge is bigger than you think - there are two large sofas in it! We had such a croft and the rooms didn't feel at all small.

I was thinking it looked a nice size, maybe not for hundreds of children but certainly a small family or a couple or a single person. Small rooms are easier to heat...I know that one!

apologies if my last message seemed rather abrupt, had rush out to deal with something and pressed 'post' as I left
I was going to say I lived in much the same croft, maybe a bit smaller even, ours was only 2 bedrooms, '2 up 2 down'

(it's better having small rooms, less to heat in winter

),and no 'conservatory?', anyway, big enough for a small family and plenty of room to play out

(sounds like I'm trying to sell it doesn't it). but I did love it up there, kept going back up visiting for years, now settled back in the pennines where I was born, but still miss that croft (even tho I have a better one now

)
