SITUATION
The Mains of Crombie is situated between Huntly and Banff and
just 2 miles west of Aberchirder. The old farm steading originally
belonged to Crombie Castle, just 200 yards away, and lies within the
Parish of Marnoch with the Crombie Burn making up the eastern
boundary and eventually flowing into the River Deveron 2 miles
distant at Marnoch.
This part of Banffshire remains quiet and unspoilt with many
opportunities for outside recreation and field sports. The ski
fields of the Cairngorms and Glenshee are both within easy reach and
there are numerous hill walks locally.
Aberchirder has a shop, post office, primary school and church
whilst Banff, Keith, Huntly and Aberdeen have all the facilities you
would expect of major regional centres. Both Aberdeen and Inverness
Airports are within easy reach with regular flights to national and
international destinations. |

DIRECTIONS
From Huntly take the A97 towards Aberchirder and Banff. 2 miles
short of Aberchirder, after crossing the River Deveron, turn left on
the B9117 and after three quarters of a mile turn right on the
single road signed Culvie. After 1.4 miles turn left and after
crossing the burn the steading can be found on the right, opposite
the entrance to Crombie Castle.
DESCRIPTION
The Mains of Crombie is a delightful range of period farm buildings
which has recently obtained detailed planning consent from Aberdeen
Council (Ref No: BB/APP/2005/2115) for conversion.
The current proposal is for the west and north elevation to convert
into a substantial 5 bedroom (4 en suite) property with 3 reception
rooms and kitchen with an integral swimming pool. In addition there
will be a further 2 bedroom, 2 storey conversion at the east end of
the north range. The east elevation has always been used as 2
dwellings and considerable work has been undertaken to renovate and
restore the ground floor section into a self-contained one bedroom
apartment and the upper floor (with separate entrance) into a 2/3
bedroom apartment. The ground floor work is almost complete but the
upper floor still requires attention. |

Due to unforeseen circumstances the current owner has had to stop
further building works and their plan of making Crombie their
principal residence together with three holiday lets has had to be
shelved. Although it was the vendors’ idea to live on site and
manage three holiday homes the property offers complete flexibility
to others with differing ideas.
In more detail the existing Ground Floor flat comprises the
following:
- Porch with new Trianco Boiler leading to:
- Sitting Room Approx 6.61m x 3.64m (21’8” x 11’11”)
New double glazed windows with deep sills. 2 radiators. Fireplace
with timber mantel and tiled hearth. Multiple power points.
- Bedroom 1 Approx 5.08m x 2.37m (16’8” x 7’9”)
Windows to courtyard, radiator and power point.
- Dressing Room Approx 3.63m x 2.43m (11’11” x 7’11)
Window to courtyard. Possible second bedroom.
- Bathroom Basin, WC. Tiled shower. Towel rail and radiator
and windows.
- Kitchen Approx 2.99m x 2.97m (9’9” x 9’9”)
Windows to burn. Sink and drainer with worktop and units below. Gas
hob and electric oven. Wall tiles with units above. Radiator. Space
for dish washer and washing machine. Ceiling spot lights.
The first floor accommodation is in the
early stages of renovation but is planned to provide 2 or 3
bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and kitchen downstairs and a large living
room. This eastern range is approximately 65 feet in length.
The north range is about 210 feet long and the proposed layout can
be seen from the accompanying plans. The western range is another 65
feet in length to complete the symmetry of the U shaped steading.
Built of stone with a slate roof the steading is generally wind and
watertight with a sound roof.
Services
Private water and drainage. Mains electricity.
GROUND
The land amounts to about 1.3 acres and is mainly to the north and
east. The Crombie Burn runs down the eastern boundary and a bank of
mature Beech Trees adds to the amenity value.
