This attractive traditionally built property sits in a peaceful yet accessible location at the heart of the Glen of Rothes, and enjoys attractive outlooks over the surrounding countryside.

Rod Christie, a partner with Galbraith, said: “Glen of Rothes House is a charming and extensive country property located in an accessible position between Elgin and Rothes.

“It is relatively rare for houses with land and a good range of outbuildings to be brought to market in such close proximity to Elgin and we would expect it to be of particular appeal to smallholders as well as those with equestrian interests.  Whilst the property is in need of a degree of modernisation, it has all of the key elements to become a very desirable rural property.”

The house has many period features, including open fireplaces and corniced ceilings. Several of the rooms are dual aspect, ensuring a bright and airy feel.

The extensive accommodation includes, on the ground floor: entrance vestibule, reception/dining hall, drawing room, morning room, kitchen/family room, utility room, study, rear hallway, two boot rooms, boiler room, WC, bathroom, two shower rooms and three bedrooms. On the first floor is an attic room, four bedrooms, box room and bathroom.

Outside, the house is surrounded by extensive grounds sheltered by mature woodland and hedging. In addition, there is a range of useful outbuildings including kennels and various stores. To the east, the property overlooks a peaceful area of mature woodland with a pond and a charming burn.

There is a two-bedroom bothy just behind the house. Now in need of modernisation, the bothy has excellent potential to create additional accommodation, perhaps as an annexe for visiting family or as a holiday let or short term let (subject to obtaining all required permissions).

Glen of Rothes House has a range of outbuildings including a traditional steading which provides excellent storage as well as potential for development (subject to obtaining all necessary consents). The steading has a workshop, storage areas and an externally accessed gunroom/store.

There is also a modern steel-portal framed shed (about 18m x 8m) with a concrete floor, power and lighting.

The property extends to about 9.92 ha (24.51 acres) in all. There are five grass paddocks ideal for livestock and pony grazing; an area of mature coniferous woodland; and an outdoor riding arena (about 40m x 20m).

Glen of Rothes House sits in a peaceful yet accessible location at the heart of the Glen of Rothes, a few miles south of Elgin in the county of Moray.
