Scottish fixer-upper family home on sale for £165k

A two-bedroom detached house in the Aberdeenshire village of Inverugie is on the market through Auction House Scotland with a guide price of £165,000. The property, which requires modernisation, is described by the auction house as a “unique opportunity” with “huge potential”.

Situated along the River Ugie in a peaceful rural setting, the home offers proximity to sandy beaches and the city of Aberdeen. The accommodation includes an entrance vestibule leading to a main hallway, a public room previously used as a snooker room, and a dual-aspect sitting room on the ground floor. There is also a kitchen with dining space and a shower room on this level.

Upstairs accommodation and outdoor space

Upstairs, the property features a family bathroom and two double bedrooms, both with ample storage and views over the surrounding green countryside. Outside, Auction House Scotland states the house comes with a “sizeable plot”, a double garage, and a shed.

The location combines rural tranquillity with easy access to amenities in Peterhead and Aberdeen. The area benefits from good public transport links, making it straightforward to reach the city and nearby towns and villages. Peterhead offers nurseries, a community centre, a theatre, and a swimming pool, while the wider area includes a golf course, several primary schools, and a secondary academy.

Auction details and advice

Auction House Scotland notes: “The property does require a programme of modernisation but upon completion of work and/or redevelopment would make an excellent family home. This will be popular and early expression of interest is highly recommended.”

The home will go under the hammer at 2pm on October 28. Further images and information are available on the Auction House Scotland website.
