Wealthyton Croft, Alford, AB33 8BH

We are delighted to offer to the market this deceptively spacious period home in the very popular Donside village of Keig.

“Wealthyton Croft” is a delightful 4/5 bedroomed property that has benefitted from a substantial, well designed rear extension, added in 1990 that blends perfectly with the original cottage and has transformed the accommodation on offer.

The current owners have carried out further improvements during their long ownership and the result is a beautifully presented, characterful family home that retains many of it’s original features, including pitch pine doors and high ceilings with cornice.

It is set within substantial landscaped gardens that enjoy a great deal of privacy and stunning open views of the neighbouring countryside.

It benefits from oil fired central heating, hardwood double glazing, oil fired Rayburn and two open fires, one with woodburning stove.

The minute you enter the property, you will warm to its unmistakable charm and warmth, enhanced by the considered decor, using soft period colours.

We highly recommend early viewing of this one, to fully appreciate the enviable lifestyle that it offers.

Accommodation Entrance hall, lounge, study/bedroom 5, dining room, kitchen/dining/family room, utility room, boot room, bathroom, four double bedrooms and shower room.
