Idyllic 3-Bedroom Country Retreat Near Keith With Steading, Feature Pond & Room To Create Your Dream Lifestyle

Nestled in scenic countryside, just six miles northeast of Keith, this delightful 1½ storey detached home offers a peaceful rural lifestyle with generous garden grounds and the rare bonus of a large former steading. Originally built over a century ago, the house combines traditional features with flexible, spacious interiors ready to suit a variety of needs.

Inside, the entrance leads into a bright, central living room with multiple windows that fill the space with natural light. Neutral walls and wooden flooring enhance the sense of space, while a feature fireplace (not currently in use) adds charm. All rooms lead from this central area, creating a practical flow throughout the ground floor.

The kitchen stretches out as a true hub of the home offering plenty of space for cooking, dining and socialising. Soft green cabinets with small round handles are paired with light coloured worktops while there’s plumbing in place for a washing machine. Its size easily accommodates a large dining table, making it perfect for family life or entertaining.

The ground floor bedroom is a generously sized double with white painted walls, two deep-set windows and built-in storage cupboards with white painted wood-panelled doors. A large radiator keeps the space cosy year-round. Ideal for guests or those with older relatives or mobility issues.

The bathroom can also be found on the ground floor and continues the theme of rustic charm, with grey square tiles around the bath and overhead shower, and wood panelling to the lower walls elsewhere. A decorative mirror and wall-mounted light sit above the basin while a chrome towel radiator adds warmth. There’s a useful built-in cupboard here, currently used for keeping laundry essentials tucked away.

A painted timber staircase leads from the living room to the upper floor. The small landing includes two built-in cupboards and a cosy nook, currently arranged as a compact home office space with computer desk and chair.

Upstairs are two further spacious double bedrooms, each with attic style sloping ceilings, white painted walls, radiators and Velux-style windows. One features built-in storage and both provide great flexibility for guests, family or hobbies.

Outside, Stripeside sits in generous garden grounds stretching around the property. Mature trees, plants and a feature pond create a charming, secluded setting, while a gravelled patio area provides the perfect space for outdoor seating or summer dining. There’s a gravel driveway for parking and various lawned and slabbed paths around the home.

A standout feature of the property is the former steading, constructed from traditional stone with a slate roof and some sections clad in profile metal. It’s a substantial space with lighting and power already installed, presenting exciting potential for renovation or creative repurposing (subject to necessary consents).

With its idyllic setting, spacious layout and character-rich design, Stripeside of Edingight offers something truly special. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful family home, a rural retreat or a project with scope to expand, this home ticks all the boxes.
