Banks Farm comprises a charming traditional farmhouse, steading and land, located in a quiet yet readily accessible position near Cairnie, between Huntly and Keith. Likely to date from the 1870’s, the house is a larger than usual Banffshire Farmhouse and provides comfortable and well laid out accommodation of some 216m2 over two storeys.
On the ground floor, a boot room / spacious hallway with seating area and access to a cloak room (plumbed for a shower room but fittings not installed).
An inner hall leads to a spacious dining kitchen with a stone flagged floor, larder and a solid fuel Rayburn that also helps heat water, and from the hall, there are doors to a utility room and the attractive dual aspect sitting room with a wood burning stove and double doors to a study.
A doors leads to the original front hall which has stairs to the first floor and a door to a lovely and bright living room / 4th bedroom. On the first floor, a landing leads to three good sized bedrooms and the family bathroom.
The farmhouse appears to be in good order and has many of the features one would hope to find in a property of this age and character including open fireplaces, a wood burning stove, a stone slabbed floor and solid fuel Rayburn in the kitchen. The house has a wonderfully bright and airy feel for a traditional dwelling with several of the rooms having dual aspects.
The dining kitchen, sitting room and living room / 4th bedroom are particularly appealing rooms. It is double glazed (apart from two dormer windows), heated using a mix of solid fuel (from the Rayburn) and oil.
