4 bedroom house

2 Middle Cottages is a superb detached family home with a raised southerly position and an incredible outlook over the countryside and towards Bennachie. Built in 2001, the property was designed to be sympathetic to its traditional rural surroundings, yet offer the desired open plan family living space and modern requirements of families. The house was completed to an exceptional quality and craftsmanship, all evident throughout, and includes the particularly high ceilings, full height windows to the open plan living space, curved feature walls and large sky light windows. The accommodation comprises entrance hall with direct access to the utility room/boot room. Incredible open plan sitting room, dining room and kitchen. This room is a fantastic family space with a southerly aspect and perfectly placed windows and doors, whilst Amtico flooring runs through. The kitchen area has a bespoke pitch pine kitchen with Belfast sink and granite worktops and the sitting area has a wood burning stove with Caithness slate hearth and granite surround. A couple of steps lead up to the mezzanine level with cloakroom and there is a master bedroom with walk in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom including twin wash hand basins. Continuing to the first floor, the landing is an extremely bright space with four sky light windows drawing in natural light and a gallery area looking down to the ground floor. There are 3 full sized double bedrooms and the main family bathroom including bath and mains shower.
