The property, situated in leafy Bieldside, was divided to create two homes in 1991 and Countesswells House North as it is today, extends to around 370sqm set over three storeys. Both the house and grounds have been beautifully maintained by the present owners.

Hilary Murray from Galbraith, who is handling the sale, said: “This is a superb family home, in a prime location. The extensive accommodation includes five large bedrooms and three impressive reception rooms, perfect for contemporary family life, and matched by wonderful landscaped gardens. The setting is very tranquil, secluded and private, but all the amenities of Aberdeen are on the doorstep. The property offers a rare combination of privacy and accessibility, which is likely to appeal to a wide range of buyers.”

The spacious and beautifully presented accommodation includes, on the ground floor: entrance vestibule, hall, lounge, dining kitchen, dining room, utility room and cloakroom. On the first floor is the drawing room, primary bedroom with en-suite, second bedroom and family bathroom. On the third floor are two further bedrooms, shower room, plus a fifth double bedroom which could be used as a superb home office.

Outside, the wonderful garden grounds extend to around 2.90 acres, offering a great deal of outdoor space and privacy, with immaculate lawns and mature trees providing a home to abundant birdlife. There is an enclosed children’s play area in the garden with football goals, sand bunkers and golf amenities. The detached double garage with attic room above is a further asset, ideal as a home gym or hobby space.

The setting of the property, on the outskirts of Bieldside, combines tranquillity with an easy commute to Aberdeen city centre ( about six miles) plus proximity to Aberdeen Airport and the business parks around Aberdeen, including Kingswells and Westhill. This hidden gem of a location offers well-regarded schools, local shops and a bar/restaurant, with additional amenities available in Cults, Milltimber and Peterculter. The Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route is about 2.5 miles.
