Beltane Bonnyton, Old Rayne, Insch, AB52 6TD

Beltane is a modern four-bedroom detached bungalow with a sizeable outbuilding and adjoining 9 acres of land. Ideal for an equestrian family or those wanting a smallholding, the versatile barn also offers a variety of other potential options.

Whilst set in the tranquil rural hamlet of Bonnyton, it is very commutable to Aberdeen by road or rail, and the current installation of the infrastructure for ultrafast broadband makes it feasible for WFH. Beltane is presented to the market in walk-in condition with generous living space, full double glazing and oil central heating.

The hallway is illuminated by natural light from a sun tube and provides access to the significant lounge, which has a large South-facing Bay window allowing plenty of light into the room, whilst it also has a multi-fuel stove for cosy winter evenings. Bi-fold doors lead to another room with versatile usage, currently a study/music room but can also be a formal dining room. From here, patio doors lead to a good-sized wooden deck which catches the afternoon sun.

The kitchen/diner has numerous units providing ample storage, and the large breakfast bar offers plenty of worktop space. There is an induction hob, a newly fitted Indesit double oven, a Bosch fridge and dishwasher and an electric heated towel rail. To the rear of the kitchen is a utility room with a stainless-steel sink, and off this is an additional shower room with an electric shower.

The bungalow has a very spacious family shower room and contains a double shower and, like the en-suites, has a plumbed-in heated towel rail; it also houses an infra-red sauna. The main bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and en-suite containing a large bath with shower. There are three further double bedrooms, one with an en-suite and two with built-in wardrobes.

A conservatory is also accessed from the kitchen. This has fitted roof and window Thomas Sanderson blinds, an electric panel heater and a wood-burning stove, enabling it to be enjoyed all year round. This opens onto the secluded rear garden with a patio, lawn and border, easily secured for children and pets.

The property has underfloor heating throughout (excluding the conservatory) and solar panels which heat the water. Water is from a privately shared well and drainage to a septic tank and soak-away, all within the propertys boundaries.

ADJOINING AREA (12m x 10m)
2 entrances with external sliding doors. A series of moveable gates allowing flexible configuration of the space for livestock/storing hay/equipment.

Land (approx. 9 acres)
Gently sloping good arable land bordered by Bonnyton Burn to the South providing 24/7 water for livestock.

Currently set up with a track system (ideal for horses prone to laminitis or requiring weight management).

The remaining land is used for making hay and winter grazing (this system enabled 4 horses to be kept without additional hay procurement). Outdoor well-drained riding arena (several excellent indoor arenas are available locally - the nearest is 2.5 miles away).
