Property description & features
- Quaint redundant granite bothy
- Convenient roadside access
- Around 0.77Ha (1.90 acres) of land including tree belt
Lot 2 - Mission Hall & Land
Mission Hall - approx. 40 sq m floor area
Thought to have been built around 100 years ago, the Mission Hall is of pointed granite construction with exposed semi-dressed quoins and lintels with an attractive slate hipped roof. The building is served with electricity and mains water and currently used as a store. The Mission Hall received approved Local Authority Consents some 20+ years ago to refurbish and substantially extend the building to form a large family home. A similar project may be viable subject to obtaining the necessary Local Authority consents and permissions.
Land - approx. 0.77Ha (1.90ac)
The Mission Hall land comprises approx. 1.43acres of grass and approx. 0.5 acres of coniferous trees. A strip of native broadleaf trees have been planted in the past. The land gently slopes towards the northern boundary and has been topped twice annually. The land is not currently stockproof and is not IACS registered. The land has had various Local Authority Consents applied for in the past for development, as described elsewhere in this literature.
Potential Land Development
The land, as a whole, received Planning Permission in Principal in 2018 for the creation of a holiday/tourist destination comprising holiday chalets and cottages, motorhome stances, retail and restaurant building and associated car and coach parking nestled amongst sympathetic landscaping and planting. Whilst this initiative has never commenced or been taken forward, there may be scope for similar development on the land subject to obtaining all necessary Local Authority and Regulatory consents and permissions. Details of the application can be viewed on the Aberdeenshire Council Planning Portal using reference APP/2017/0819.
