Bright and spacious - £198,000

This wonderfully spacious semi-detached bungalow ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to family living. Located just a few minutes from Oldmeldrum town centre, this property is ideally located in close proximity to the local shops and leisure activities on offer in the town.

Inside the property, a large kitchen dining area forms the heart of the house, featuring attractive kitchen units and laminate flooring. Double sliding doors extend the dining room onto an attractive granite patio. The low maintenance garden is completely enclosed and has a large area laid to lawn, perfect for young children to play on.

The bedrooms are modern, tastefully decorated and both have large fitted wardrobes. There is a single garage with a workshop and electric up and over door, which can house the family car or provide additional storage space.

Modern home in the countryside - £185,000

With three bedrooms this home has ample space for a young family. There is a downstairs toilet and family bathroom on the first floor, a very practical feature of the property.   

The modern kitchen dining area is perfect for family meal times and a large kitchen window looks onto the garden, allowing you to keep an eye on the children while they play in the garden.

The home benefits from other useful features, such as a cloakroom and separate cupboard space for storage. There is also space for two cars on the private driveway to the front of the house.
