Rosehall House is a magnificent extended farmhouse on the outskirts of Keith. The property was built in 1876 and was extended in the 1950s when it was owned by the well known Laidlaw family who had a woollen mill business. The property is approached through pillared double wrought iron gates via a gravel drive which culminates in a parking area for several cars adjacent to the front door. Built of white harled stone and concrete block under a slate roof the property is in immaculate order both internally and externally. The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over two floors. It is ideal for entertaining and also provides a spacious family home. Rosehall would make an ideal Bed & Breakfast.
The drawing room and sitting room both have alcoves, fireplaces and bay windows over looking the terrace and garden. The sitting room has a welcoming multi fuel stove. The dining room has French doors, leading to the terrace, which make it a bright room and there is original parquet flooring. The dining kitchen has a traditional farmhouse feel with beech units and a green Stanley cooker.
Rosehall House retains some lovely period features including a charming, large entrance hall with an arch feature and decorative pine staircase. There is art deco sanitary ware in the cloakroom and family bathroom. The first floor has generously proportioned bedrooms most of which have built in wardrobes. There is ample storage throughout the house.
Potential house site (0.34 of an acre)
To the west, behind the house is a walled garden within which planning permission has been sought to build a single storey dwelling. It is likely that planning permission will be granted and the area is an ideal house site with a separate access, existing walls defining the boundary, services and an existing potting shed could easily be converted into a garage. The walled garden is currently mostly lawn with an established vegetable garden and trained fruit trees.


Rosehall House is situated 1 mile from the popular town of Keith, which lies in the heart of the renowned Castle and Whisky Trails. Keith has primary and secondary schools, a supermarket, a range of shops, hotels, health centre and golf course. The A96 allows swift road access to Aberdeen and Inverness (both 47 miles) and there is rail links to Aberdeen, London and Inverness.
Aberdeen and Inverness provide all the ancillary leisure, recreational, shopping, entertainment and cultural facilities one would expect of cities. Aberdeen's status as the 'Oil capital' provides the city with an international airport and an ever-expanding range of domestic and European flights. There are also regular inter-city services from the city's railway station.
