Is this north-east cottage the ultimate rural escape?

Quirky yet homely, Lilybank Cottage has a charming name to match its equally charming interior.

This four bedroom home can be found in the lovely village of Fyvie, near Turiff, and offers spacious and versatile living space ideal for a growing family.

To the front of the property is the lovely sun porch. Tiled flooring means you need not worry about mucky shoes and it’s the ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee.

It would also be a practical space for any four legged friends, particularly after long muddy walks.

The sun porch provides access to the hallway where you can head through to the lounge.

This room has neutral decor and offers a multi-fuel/wood burner, which will keep you extra cosy in the winter months.

There are also great views over the garden while a door opens to the family room.

This is currently used as a further living area but would make a fantastic playroom, giving the adults the chance to make the most of entertaining guests elsewhere.

The dining room offers a further option for entertaining and is incredibly spacious, with a window overlooking the garden.

This will be the perfect room come Christmas when you want to bring everyone together, and there’s no need to trek across the house carrying plates as the kitchen is right next door.

The dining kitchen has a lovely country cottage feel but still offers plenty of space and you’ll be able to keep an eye on the kids as you cook.

There is plenty of storage space and this room is very much what you make of it, whether you want an informal family area or a more modern living space where guests can relax.

Completing the downstairs accommodation are two double bedrooms. Both have built-in wardrobes and are ideal for teenagers who want some privacy away from mum and dad, but they’d also make excellent guest bedrooms thanks to a shower room.

The remaining two bedrooms can be found upstairs, including the en-suite master bedroom.

Both rooms are of a good size and a WC completes the upstairs accommodation.

It is perhaps the gardens of Lilybank which make it the ultimate rural escape however, and the garden to the front is enviably south facing.

Those who are green fingered will be keen to continue with the well-stocked vegetable patch and there are also fruit trees and fruit bushes.

Don’t be surprised to be sharing your garden with wildlife thanks to a pond, and you can get busy planting in the greenhouse.

There’s plenty of storage space for tools thanks to two sheds and a coal bunker.

You need not worry about parking thanks to a large driveway where there is space for several cars alongside a single garage.

To the rear of Lilybank is a private courtyard, ideal for al fresco dining.

Fyvie itself offers a thriving community and both the bus stop and local school are only a short distance from Lilybank.

Offers should be made in the region of more than £245,000.
