On a prestigious street in Aberdeen's West End.

Description

SUMMARY
128 Desswood Place is a semi detached family home on a prestigious street in Aberdeen’s West End. This is the first time the property has come to the market for 42 years. It was built in the 1890s of granite and slate and sits on a corner site with lanes running along the west and north boundaries. In good order throughout, the property may benefit from some modernisation. There is a mature colourful walled garden and a garage at the rear.
