TYPE OF PROPERTY
Coralside Croft is a traditional stone built farmhouse set in a peaceful location in a rural setting yet is only approximately 2 miles from the village of Newmill itself, and 3 miles from the larger town of Keith with main shopping facilities, and rail and bus links. The whole site extends to approximately 6 acres in total with 5 paddocks in grass with a former sand school which is currently overgrown, three stables, a tack room, and hay shed making this property ideal for equestrian use. The garden grounds are extensive and include an orchard with pond area and various other outbuildings in addition to the equestrian facilities. There are good views from the property over the adjoining paddocks and open countryside beyond. Internally, there is a large lounge and kitchen on an open plan basis with two good-sized double bedrooms and a bathroom. The property benefits from oil-fired central heating and is partly double glazed. Although in need of some modernisation, once complete, Coralside Croft will make an ideal home for the equestrian enthusiast and early viewing is recommended to appreciate all this property has to offer and its location.
