This stunning space has an abundance of natural light from the vaulted gable window and floor to ceiling corner windows which perfectly frame views to the pond, Bennachie and surrounding countryside. A delightful focal point is the modern woodburning stove which is central to the sitting/dining area.

Off the kitchen area, glazed double doors lead to the well proportioned sitting room. This comfortable relaxing room with its fitted illuminated bookcase with integral storage cupboards, fine views and an abundance of natural light also boasts a limestone mantlepiece around an open fire.

Bordering the lawn are numerous varieties of trees including a mature ash, rowan and maple trees, conifers, laurel and dogwood.

The sizeable pond makes for a beautiful outlook from the property and contains a selection of fish.

Additional Info

SUMMARY
This impressive family home is located in a particularly private and scenic rural setting. Constructed by the sellers in 2008 on the site of a former farm cottage and steading, the architect and owners ensured the design took advantage of the fabulous views to Bennachie and surrounding countryside. At the time the property was built it was featured in Self Build and Design magazine. The dominant feature of this contemporary home is the open plan design of the ground floor which blends perfectly into more formal and informal spaces. The luxury open plan kitchen is the ‘wow factor’ hub of the home with a vaulted ceiling, dining and sitting area. Notable features throughout are the 2.7m high ceilings throughout the ground floor, 900mm wide doors, and the extensive use of beech door frames, doors, skirting boards, flooring and staircase. The cloakroom, shower rooms and bathrooms are all tiled floor to ceiling and have high quality sanitaryware with Keuco taps in the cloakroom and Grohe taps and fittings everywhere else. Flooring throughout is a combination of beech, tiles and carpets. The outside space and outbuildings offer great scope for outdoor pursuits.
