A modern country home near Fordoun has hit the market at more than £100,000 below its market value.

Drumview House, which overlooks Drumelzie Woods and the Drum hill, has been described as a “stunning and contemporary” home.

The bright and spacious property was built as part of a small development at Monboddo in 2015 and was further renovated by the current owners in 2021.

Electric gates open onto the gravel driveway which leads to Drumview House, designed with cedar cladding, white render, glass finishes and a slate roof.

However, property sellers Savills have said it is the interiors of the home that are the most impressive.

The welcoming hallway leads to the two wings of the house – an open plan kitchen, sitting and dining room to the left, and multi-purpose rooms currently used as a gym and den to the right.

This space leads directly to the bespoke Charles Yorke kitchen complete with high quality appliances, plenty of storage and a central island.

A passage at the rear of the ground floor leads to the master bedroom which features an en suite, dressing room and sliding glass doors which open into the garden.
