Description

ACCOMMODATION
Dating back to 1925, this substantial detached double-fronted granite and slate house is located in a prime residential area. Various upgrades were completed around 1995 and the property still retains charming period style features. These include high ceilings, moulded plasterwork, deep skirting boards, extensive parquet flooring, fireplaces and wood panelling. The vestibule has a traditional style tiled floor along with wood panelling and opens into the spacious hallway. Ample storage is provided by a double shelved cupboard and further walk in storage. Well-appointed sitting room with bay and side window and feature fireplace with a carved mantel. More formal space is found in the delightful dining room with bay window and further fireplace. The principal bedroom suite is very spacious and has a dressing room and en suite shower room with WC, wash basin, bidet and corner shower enclosure with a GROHE mains shower. A ground floor bedroom with side window is currently used as a home office. Bedroom five is the further ground floor bedroom. Both these bedrooms are serviced by a large bathroom featuring an elongated bath complemented by an Art Deco style wash basin and feature towel rail. The lounge provides an informal space which leads into the dining kitchen. With three windows providing a garden aspect, the kitchen is fitted with base, drawer and wall units. Appliances include a Siemens dishwasher, Bosch refrigerator, built in microwave, electric oven/hob and an extractor hood. For everyday domestic tasks there is a utility room with Velux window, plumbing for a washing machine and base sink unit. A rear hall has a WC and exterior door to the rear garden. A carpeted staircase leads to the first floor with a large Velux window proving good natural light. Front and rear bedrooms on this level have access to a further bathroom with three piece white suite and mains over-bath shower.
(Note : there is a further bedroom downstairs currently inaccessible due to a high volume of storage boxes but this needs a mention)

OUTSIDE
Gates provide driveway access for parking. Generous outside garden grounds to the front, side and rear are bounded by walls and timber fencing. The mature and established garden provides a variety of seasonal colour from lilac bushes, rhododendrons, hydrangeas and well stocked borders and flower beds. A greenhouse sits to the side of the house. For additional storage there are two timber sheds.

SITUATION
Royfold Crescent is in the sought-after West End area of Aberdeen. A great number of local amenities are within walking distance as is regular transport to many parts of the city and the city centre itself is only about five minutes drive from the property. Royfold Crescent provides excellent commuting times to the north and south of the city, and there is also easy access westwards to Deeside, with the completion of the AWPR in autumn 2018 improving traffic flow. Close by are the highly respected private schools of Albyn, St Margaret’s, Robert Gordon’s College and the International School. Also nearby are Ashley Road Primary School and Aberdeen Grammar School. Within a short walk is Johnston Gardens which is a small public garden which has won the Britain in Bloom competition many times thanks to its beautifully designed beds and borders displaying a wonderful variety of flowers, shrubs and herbaceous plants. Just as close is The Gordon Highlanders Museum. The property is also particularly convenient for the Hill of Rubislaw office complex.
