About this property
This delightful listed former bakery has been newly renovated into a beautiful contemporary property, perfect for couples looking for a peaceful, romantic getaway in Banff. Located on Strait Path in one of Scotland’s oldest royal burghs, the property is just 50 metres from a historic pub. Follow the Banff and Macduff Heritage Trail around the town from the doorstep or shoot a round at the Duff House Royal Golf Club. Further afield, the Macduff Aquarium is 2 miles away, and a scenic Banffshire coastal walk takes you to Whitehills (1.5 miles) where you’ll find a lovely seafood restaurant, a beach, and a surf school. For those who like visiting whisky distilleries, the famous Glendronach Distillery is 16.5 miles away. Magnificent Fyvie Castle Garden and Estate is a must-visit attraction (20 miles). Alternatively, wildlife and walking enthusiasts should head 11 miles along the coast to visit RSPB Scotland Troup Head.
This inviting two-storey house is in a secluded spot within Banff’s heritage centre. Enter the property through the secret garden and a charming lit alley which leads to the front door. Step inside and you are greeted by a spacious, welcoming open-plan kitchen/dining/lounge area. The soft textures and calming hues create a relaxing ambience. The internal walls are all Venetian plaster, giving the space lots of character and a distinctly superior feel throughout. The decor lovingly reflects the heritage, culture and beautiful natural surroundings of the location. A contemporary kitchen features all the appliances you need to whip up a lazy brunch or to prepare a romantic dinner, which you can share at the dining table next to a window. After dinner, head through to the sitting area and snuggle up on the plush sofa and play your favourite tracks on the soundbar or watch a box set on the Smart TV. Take the wooden staircase up to the first floor, where you can drift off to sleep in the spacious and bright king-size bedroom. This en-suite room boasts a walk-in shower, and robes and slippers are supplied for your stay. Back in the bedroom, enjoy a late-night movie courtesy of a Smart TV fitted to the ceiling. With blackout blinds on the skylights, wake up refreshed and look out over the Juliet balcony to enjoy the views across the town.
Outside, the secluded nature of the property comes into its own with a large hot tub sitting under a timber-framed shelter, surrounded by soft lighting. There is an outside table and chairs for al fresco dining in fine weather. A handy outside dog shower means you can wash off sandy paws after a day at the beach. On-street parking is available next to the property.
