About this house sitting position in Fraserburgh

We are a small scale smallholding, in a rural area, lots of countryside, but only a mile walk or drive to the nearest local village.
Our small holding includes a beautiful characterful old stone farm cottage, a large back, front and side garden. There is a large tarmac yard area with a small trust stall where we sell our produce, the 'egg shed', where all the egg incubation and hatching occurs and a store where we keep animal feed etc. We also have a an vegetable patch, polytunnel and various fruit bushes around the garden. We have an over an acre field which is seperated into smaller paddocks to accomodate our various livestock and poultry, whilst still giving a good area for the dogs to run free and where we have planted a fruit tree orchard for you future years.
The cottage has mutli-fuel stove/burner in the living room and oil heating for the entire house and hot water. We also have WIFI of a good speed and are on mains electric and private water supply. There are 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, which has the best rainfall shower, a kitchen, living room, a pantry and a craft/office room. You will stay in one of the upstairsbedrooms, which has the most amazing views. Wild deer, birds of prey and foxes etc have been seen as part of this view. There are so many different wild birds, geese, SkyLarks, woodpeckers, owls, kestrels, buzzards etc. so a bird lovers paradise. There are also RSPB sites very nearby.
