Moray farmhouse in 'stunning' location on sale for £660,000
An 'impressive' six-bedroom farmhouse, grazing paddock and more than two acres of land in Moray are up for sale at a guide price of £660,000.
Selling agent Galbraith says Keam Farmhouse, near Hopeman, is in a 'stunning' rural setting.
The 'elegant' detached property is thought to date from the mid to late 1800s.
Galbraith says it enjoys 'far-reaching' views, while the nearby village of Hopeman boasts two sandy beaches and a marina.
The current owners are selling as they want to move south to be closer to their family.
Highlighting the best features of Keam Farmhouse, Galbraith says: 'The property's impressive grand entrance leads to a large vestibule and stylist hallway, whilst many of the period features have been retained throughout – including tall, corniced ceilings and open fireplaces in the four public rooms.'
Galbraith also points to 'highly flexible' living options, thanks to a layout which allows the house to be used in a variety of ways.
The agent adds: 'The ground floor dining room, family room and bathroom would lend themselves well for use as a granny annexe or extended family accommodation.'
There's also a 'magnificent' dining kitchen, with an Aga range cooker.
French doors to the garden 'allow the outdoors in', Galbraith, says.
The kitchen is, therefore, a 'lovely space from where to enjoy the delightful garden views and countryside beyond,' it adds.
Rod Christie, handling the sale for Galbraith, told us Keam is in an 'exceptional' traditional farmhouse, the scale and quality of which are 'rarely found in Moray'.
He added: 'Located near the popular coastal village of Hopeman and close to the world-famous Gordonstoun School, this property presents a real lifestyle purchase.'
It would be ideal for a young active family keen to embrace rural living, while exploring 'all that the beautiful Moray coast has to offer', he said.
Rod continued: 'The property has all the features you would hope to find for its period and character.
'Set in a quiet yet accessible rural area, it has the benefit of a paddock suitable for ponies or other livestock, and yet is in close proximity to a wide range of amenities available in Hopeman, as well as the city of Elgin a mere six miles away.'

Mary Berry's 5-ingredient potato dish is 'really good' for Sunday lunch
Mary Berry's dauphinoise potatoes recipe is a delicious side dish that's perfect for serving up at a Sunday lunch or any other special occasion - the whole family will love it While roast potatoes are a classic accompaniment to a Sunday roast, culinary queen Mary Berry has proposed a "really good" creamier option. Dauphinoise potatoes, a French delicacy known as the ultimate comfort food, are crafted with cream and cheese and pair splendidly with any roasted meat. In her cookbook 'Family Sunday Lunches,' Mary Berry wrote: "Dauphinoise potatoes make a nice change with a Sunday lunch, especially if you are serving duck (try them with Duck breasts with cherry sauce), or if you are preparing a slighter smarter lunch than usual." Not only are dauphinoise potatoes rich and scrumptious, but this recipe is also remarkably simple to prepare, requiring just five basic ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. Mary Berry's secret to perfect dauphinoise potatoes is to use floury varieties like King Edward or Russet, which soak up more flavour and break down effortlessly when baked, resulting in a creamier consistency for this succulent dish, reports the Express. How to make Mary Berry's dauphinoise potatoes Ingredients 750g of King Edward potatoes (or other floury potatoes) 300ml of double cream 150ml of chicken or vegetable stock 50g of grated parmesan cheese Knob of butter Kitchen equipment needed Oven proof dish Instructions Start by peeling the potatoes, rinsing them under cold water, and then drying them thoroughly with kitchen paper. Next, slice the potatoes very thinly, either manually or using the slicer attachment on a food processor. Combine the stock and cream in a jug. In a buttered dish, arrange a layer of potato slices, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle over some of the creamy stock mixture. Continue the layering process, gradually adding the creamy stock mixture until all ingredients are used. Ensure the potatoes are fully submerged in the liquid by pressing them down with your fingers. Next, sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top and securely cover the dish with foil. Place the dish in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, then remove the foil and continue cooking for an additional 25 to 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are thoroughly cooked. Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to rest for five minutes. Your delectable dauphinoise potatoes are now ready to be served.
