Description

Located in a wonderful rural setting, this 1.5 storey detached house with slate roof was designed by William Lippe, of McWilliam Lippe Architects in Inverurie and completed in 1991. The configuration offers particularly spacious rooms with numerous French doors which open up the living space when required -making the main reception rooms ideal for entertaining and circulating. A lovely feature are the two open fires: one double-sided and both with a pointed dressed granite-faced chimney breast, a raised slate-tiled hearth with log storage area below and a large inset open fire fitted with a log grate and glass fire doors. Flooring in the house is a combination of wooden flooring, ceramic and slate tiles.

The ground floor begins with French doors opening from the vestibule into the open plan kitchen and dining room where a breakfast bar island forms a natural divide. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of floor, drawer and wall cabinets, complemented by light coloured worksurfaces. Appliances include a built-in oven and hob. The large dining area has French doors opening into the delightful conservatory with exposed stone wall. This is certainly a room with a view and further double doors provide garden access. The elegant sitting room has several large fitted bookcases with stained glass and again, French doors opening outside. From here at one corner an open tread spiral staircase with iron spindles leads to a galleried landing which offers a spacious study and seating area with a stained glass port hole window creating an attractive focal point. Overlooking the garden, bedroom two has a dual access en suite bathroom with Mira over bath shower, WC, wash basin and bidet. Connecting from the bedroom is a dressing room/box room with port hole window. Bedroom three is well proportioned. Designed for one storey living if required, the principal bedroom suite is on the ground floor with a bay window, dressing room and en suite bathroom with separate shower enclosure, twin wash basins in vanity units and a large wall mirror above. The design of the house reflects the practical needs of working outdoors, so adjacent to the garage is the utility room with access into the dual access shower room. The entry utility room includes a washer, dryer, dishwasher and stainless steel sink with hot and cold water.

A gated gravel drive leads to a parking and turning area for numerous vehicles. The immediate house grounds are mostly laid in lawn and wonderful views can be enjoyed from here.

There is about 2/3 miles of Urie embankment, which includes the joining of the River Gadie at the famed 'Wedding of the Waters'. Within the house grounds is a general purpose electrified outbuilding with a workshop; the structure is large enough to accommodate a small work vehicle. It was erected around 2007.
