Located within the highly sought-after Ferryhill area of Aberdeen, this substantial five-bedroom granite family home is presented to the sales market in truly exceptional condition.

Beautifully blending period charm with modern family living, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished home in one of the city’s most desirable locations.

Property Description

The impressive entrance vestibule immediately sets the tone, showcasing a striking period stained-glass door and windows, complemented by original mosaic flooring. This leads into a remarkable and welcoming reception hallway, providing access to the formal front drawing room, rear family lounge, ground floor WC, and the stunning open-plan kitchen dining area with integrated utility space.
The elegant front drawing room is framed by a large bay window and enhanced by intricate deep inset cornicing and a rose ceiling. A classic focal fireplace completes the space, creating a refined yet comfortable setting for relaxation. To the rear, the family lounge mirrors the home’s traditional detailing, with continued ornate cornicing and rose ceiling, alongside a central gas open fire — an ideal space for gathering together.
The ground floor WC has been tastefully modernised while incorporating a Sanitan traditional-style WC and sink, seamlessly blending contemporary finishes with classic design.
Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the recently extended open-plan kitchen and dining area. Contemporary and streamlined, the kitchen offers an abundance of base and wall units — many designed as pan drawers for exceptional storage — along with integrated oven and microwave appliances and a temperature-controlled wine cooler. The central dining area is flooded with natural light and features two French doors opening onto a charming side patio and the low-maintenance rear garden.
Flowing from the kitchen is a thoughtfully designed utility space with integrated white goods and four Velux windows, creating a bright and highly functional extension of the living space.
Ascending the striking staircase — complete with carpet runner and decorative rods — the mezzanine level hosts a generous rear-facing double bedroom with wall-to-wall wardrobes and tranquil garden views. Also on this level is the immaculate family bathroom, finished to a high specification and featuring underfloor heating, a separate rainfall shower, and a luxurious freestanding bath.
The first floor offers further well-proportioned accommodation, including a rear-facing double bedroom with built-in storage and ample space for freestanding furnishings. To the front, the principal bedroom continues the home’s elegant theme with ornate cornicing, rose ceiling, and a beautiful bay window. A third bedroom, currently utilised as a guest bedroom and office, completes this floor.
Accessed via a separate staircase, the top floor provides an additional spacious double bedroom with extensive built-in storage and stunning panoramic views over the City of Aberdeen. Adjacent is a stylish shower room with tiled flooring and corner shower, along with access to a study/box room which is currently being utilised as a storage space, with two large double glazed Velux windows to the front with laminate flooring.
This exceptional granite home offers an outstanding combination of period elegance, modern comfort, and flexible family living in one of Aberdeen’s most prestigious residential areas.

Externally to the front of the property is a low maintenance mature front garden with shrubs and hedges, laid to lawn and a paved path which leads to a side access. The side access leads to the side garden with shrub border and ample space for patio table and chairs. The sheltered rear garden has a lawn and steps to a lower paved area with garden shed.
