Pretty stone cottage in sought-after semi-rural setting

Description

This traditional granite and slate property is located at the top of a cul de sac in a prime residential area. The Cottage combines a country living feel with modern comforts and is arranged over two floors. The ground floor features a cosy sitting room with fireplace, hardwood floors and large picture windows which frame the rural views and let in plenty of natural light. A more informal and versatile space is the lounge along with a dining room which could provide an additional bedroom or home office, if preferred. The kitchen is well equipped with cream coloured cabinets and ample work surfaces. For everyday domestic tasks there is a spacious utility room. Adjacent is a bathroom fitted with a three piece white suite which allows for one storey living if required. A delightful turned spiral staircase is accessed from the lounge and curves up to the first floor. Here there are two large bedrooms with front aspect windows which are serviced by a WC with wash basin.

The front area is mainly laid in lock block so is ideal for parking. Enclosed is a delightful rear garden offering shelter and privacy. The perimeter is a combination of stone walls and timber fencing and there is a gravelled seating area. The back garden is mostly laid in lawn for lower maintenance.

Garage: Attached to the property is an elongated tandem style garage.

There is a sports centre with swimming pool, 18 hole golf course and Kippie Lodge Sports & Country Club, while Royal Deeside and its many leisure pursuits are easily accessible. The property is conveniently situated for the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route, which has greatly improved travel both north and south of the city, with easier access to the airport and industrial hubs at Dyce and Westhill.
