Magnificent Grade A Listed Country House within the Cullen House

A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase this magnificent Grade A listed dwellinghouse in need of refurbishment which is situated in the stunning and rarely available setting of Cullen House.  Cullen is a very popular and picturesque town on the Moray Firth coast, with a lovely harbour, sandy beach, 18-hole links golf course, impressive former railway viaducts and many shops and eateries within the town centre.  Local train stations are at Keith and Elgin and the airports at Aberdeen and Inverness are approximately 60 miles distant.

Cullen House is a hugely impressive mansion on the outskirts of Cullen dating back to the 13th Century and is said to have been built on the site of an old monastery.  The house was the principal residence of the Ogilvie family and was home to the Earls of Seafield but after lying empty for some years was developed in the mid 1980’s by English architect Kit Martin. East Wing forms part of the oldest section of the building dating from around 1230 AD, it boasts accommodation over four storeys, has the two original entrances, the Great Hall and Master Bedroom.  The exterior of the building remains intact with impressive rampant lions on either side of the main front door and an ornate coat of arms above.

The present owners have been careful to retain many of the original features including the sash and casement windows with arched tops and some with working shutters, high ceilings with intricate plaster work, Delft fireplace with hand painted tiles in the hallway, the original drawing room with Portsoy Marble fireplace, spiral staircase and decorative wooden panelling, which will certainly appeal to those with a love for properties of historic interest and those exuding charm and character
