5 bed property for sale

Church Street, Banff AB45

A rare opportunity to purchase this 18th Century converted church, nestled within the picturesque village of Fordyce. This is a unique property set within in a tranquil conservation village from the 14th century and one that offers the prestigious award winning Bistro, En-suite B&B accommodation and substantial residential living space. The beautiful walled gardens offer a peaceful setting overlooking fields and a stream. You can enjoy alfresco dining or sit in one of the pretty heated garden cabins. And enjoy locally harvested seafood and other produce.
Enter through double doors into the vestibule and to a characterful bistro which then flows through to a fully equipped, large catering kitchen. There are two large double bedrooms each with en-suite shower rooms.
Ascend the oak staircase to an extensive living room with double log stove, exposed flue rising to the high ceilings and a glazed balcony overlooking the kitchen below. A skylight, or area of glazed roofing with revealed timbers allows natural light to filter in and this light luminates the kitchen and dining room on the ground floor. The architectural design has been considerately thought out, making for a fresh and open living space.
Equally to the level there are a further two spacious double bedrooms, again each with en-suite shower rooms and a grand master bedroom with walk through dressing room which then leads to the en-suite bathroom with a three piece suite including a roll top bath and a separate shower cubicle. The tasteful décor is of a neutral palette with contemporary touches and yet incorporating retained timber features and flooring. There is an original curved stone staircase off the lounge which takes you back to the front of the building. There is also an extensive private car park with a variety of roses and potted plants. Also a Stone Storeroom with power at the side of the building.
