ACCOMMODATION
A partially glazed door leads into the welcoming reception hall, where a carpeted staircase leads to the first floor living accommodation and two fitted cupboards provide good storage facilities.

Overlooking the property frontage via a deep silled window, the inviting sitting room provides ample space for freestanding furniture. Central to the room is the striking brick fireplace with wood mantel, which frames a wood burning stove on a slate hearth. Next to the fireplace is a fitted display unit, faced with brick and having a wood surface.

The formal dining room lies across the reception hall from the sitting room. A well proportioned and fully carpeted room which enjoys views over the front garden, there is a shelved display alcove next to a brown patterned fireplace and an ornamental ceiling rose. The ground floor bathroom is accessible from the reception hall, and includes a white three piece suite with a curved corner shower enclosure.

An open doorway from the reception hall leads into the attractive dining kitchen. Fitted with an extensive and contemporary range of light grey base and wall units, contrasting work surfaces incorporate a stainless steel sink with drainer. Central to the dining kitchen is the electric range cooker with gas hob, to either side of which deep silled windows provide natural light. Twin partially glazed doors lead out into the light and airy entrance porch, which is currently used as a home office with an internal window pane looking into the sitting room.

The dining kitchen allows ease of access to the spacious and bright family room, which forms part of an extension created approximately eight years ago. Overlooking and enjoying access to the garden grounds beyond via glazed double doors, the family room is fitted with oak flooring and is of tasteful décor. It is a versatile living space that was previously utilised as a bedroom, hence the well equipped wet room and walk in storage both situated off this room.

Ascending the staircase to the first floor there is a split level landing with skylight and fitted storage cupboard. Bedroom two is currently utilised as a dressing room to the principal bedroom. Fitted with oak flooring and display shelving, a half height fitted cupboard conceals the hot water cylinder, while a skylight provides natural light. From bedroom two there is access to the spacious principal bedroom, which overlooks the pretty garden grounds and beyond via a large window. Fitted with oak flooring and two internal cupboards, the principal bedroom boasts an en suite bathroom which includes a white three piece suite with shower attachment to the bath.

Completing the first floor accommodation are bedrooms three and four. Both well proportioned and fully carpeted, they enjoy far reaching views across the gardens towards the countryside beyond via deep silled windows.

Grounds and Outbuildings
Glenmellan is situated amidst versatile grounds of about 7 acres which are divided into two parts being separated by the main road between. The farmhouse is situated within about 2 acres, with the immediate gardens being mostly laid to lawn with a gravelled seating area to the side from where to enjoy the productive vegetable garden and extended pergola which is covered in flowering climbers. From the driveway a set of two gates leads into a fully grassed paddock. The driveway leads into an extensive concrete yard area from where there is access to two outbuildings. The garage outbuilding is divided in two, with one section including a metal roll up door, below ground inspection pit and a floored loft. The second outbuilding is open to one side and used for general storage while having a power supply. To the immediate rear of the property there are several smaller outbuildings which house both the oil and solid fuel boilers in addition to cut logs.

Across the road from Glenmellan is an area measuring around 5 acres, and which predominantly consists of a yard housing a sawmill building and a general purpose shed with open side and steel frame. The remainder consists of a grass paddock and an area of spruce wood, while a sloping brae continues down to the River Ythan. On the opposite slope, there are believed to be the remains of a Roman boot camp.
