A five-bedroom family home in Aberdeenshire is set to go under the hammer later this year with a guide price of less than £200,000. The property at 39 Main Street in the village of Longside will be offered for sale at £195,000 through Auction House Scotland on November 26.
The Category C listed building dates back to 1845 and previously operated as a pub, though it has most recently been used as a family home. The main accommodation is spread over two and a half storeys and extends to almost 244 square metres.
Large Property with Potential Annex
In addition to the main house, there is an unfinished self-contained annex of around 145 square metres. Auction House Scotland notes that the property would "benefit from a programme of refurbishment and modernisation." For buyers willing to take on an ambitious renovation project, the home could be converted into a modern and stylish family residence.
Outside, the property features garden grounds at its front, side, and back, along with a tarred driveway providing off-street parking. Two outbuildings are also included in the sale: a large store of around 135 square metres and another stone-and-slate outbuilding. According to Auction House Scotland, both outbuildings and the surrounding land could be renovated into additional living space, subject to the necessary consents.
Village Location and Amenities
Longside offers local amenities including a primary school, a shop, and sports facilities such as a golf course and football grounds. The larger town of Peterhead is approximately six miles away, with Aberdeen also within easy reach.
Auction House Scotland described the property as "an exciting opportunity to acquire a characterful building of real scale" and noted it occupies a generous plot in the heart of the popular commuter village.
