Small Scottish estate in Aberdeenshire

Marnoch Lodge is a fine Scottish small estate in the heart of Aberdeenshire with a Georgian mansion house dating from 1800. The property itself is very attractive with interior features including a mosaic-tiled floor in the hall, open fireplaces in several rooms, and hardwood timber panelling. Accommodation includes six bedrooms and five reception rooms and has been recently upgraded: the property would well suit a modern family’s needs.

Situated on the south side of the River Deveron, the house is set in around seven acres of gardens, grounds and policy woodlands, which include a croquet lawn fringed with trees set in front of the house and pretty banks sloping down to the river.

The land comes to around 94 acres as a whole, with arable land, pasture, gardens, grounds, riverbank and woodland.

Marnoch Lodge is situated in the River Deveron Valley in Aberdeenshire. Aberdeen itself is 42 miles, and the small market town of Aberchirder is just two miles to the north for basic local services. The larger town of Huntly is eight miles to the south.
