5 bedroom detached house to rent

A large 5 bed country house nestled within the picturesque hamlet of Rickarton, just a couple of miles outside the vibrant coastal resort of Stonehaven and within easy reach of Aberdeen.

Possibly one of the finest houses to hit the rental market in the area in recent years, the house has been extensively renovated and has been fully redecorated ready to make a beautiful family home.

Walking through the doorway of this magnificent house you will enter a large porch with plenty of hanging space before you walk into the majestic central hallway. In the front of the house there is a spacious kitchen, complete with an Aga and space to dine in, as well as a pantry. The kitchen sits directly opposite the dining room, a large room complimented by inbuilt cupboards with ample space for a sideboard. Across the hall a large drawing room with an inbuilt woodburning stove provides a fantastic facility for entertaining while the intricate cornicing throughout the principal reception rooms only adds to their opulent feel. A large conservatory/sitting room faces the back garden providing wonderful views and space for children to play or read during winter evenings. The back of the house contains a spacious home office with another woodburning stove as well as storage rooms and a large laundry with space to iron in. There are also two downstairs loos including one with a shower for washing off after a long day outside.

Upstairs the master bedroom comes complete with a large bank of built in wardrobes and panoramic views of the local countryside as well as an en-suite which includes a bath to wallow in as well as a shower. Of the four remaining bedrooms two include new en-suites while the final pair are provided for by a large family bathroom. All of the rooms comfortably have space for either a king size bed or two single beds while still having space for a chest of draws or a wardrobe as well.

Throughout the house numerous cupboards and wardrobes deliver huge amounts of useful storage space. The property is fully double grazed and has central heating throughout. Super fast broadband is available.

Outside there are two large gardens, essential to enjoy the tranquil rural setting, and parking for multiple vehicles. Portable kennels may be installed outside with separate consent from the landlord.

Stonehaven, a bustling town, is located approximately 3 miles away. Local amenities include a leisure centre, golf club, the famous open air swimming pool and Dunnottar Castle, one-time hiding place for the Scottish Crown Jewels. Services in the town include shops, a station, doctor's surgery, dentists, post office, banks and both primary and secondary schools. Within easy drive are a number of equestrian facilities as well as various agricultural shows throughout the summer.

Further afield the North-East is littered with historic castles while Royal Deeside is awash with stunning natural landmarks and places of interest, not least the monarch's own residence Balmoral Castle. Traditional country sports are prevalent throughout the area with salmon fishing, deer stalking and numerous shoots within touching distance as well as famous golf courses and ski resorts. Meanwhile Aberdeen is just half an hour away and has all of the facilities expected of a large city including a well-connected international airport.

Private education is available within an easy drive with Robert Gordon's College, St. Margret's School for Girls and Lathallan School all being around half an hour away.
