5 bedroom detached house for sale

Substantial five-bedroom family home set within a generous woodland-backed plot in a small executive development, just a short drive from Banchory.

Set in the heart of Royal Deeside, this impressive detached property occupies an enviable position within a small development of quality homes, offering privacy, space and a true rural setting while remaining within easy reach of the popular towns of Banchory and Aboyne. The nearby village also benefits from a well-regarded primary school and nursery, making it an attractive setting for families.

Thoughtfully designed for modern family living, the standout feature of the home is the bright open-plan kitchen, dining and family space positioned at the rear of the property – a superb social hub with double-height windows and bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden and patio. The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of cabinets and integrated appliances, complemented by a central island ideal for informal dining. A wood-burning stove provides a warm focal point to the family area.

A separate formal lounge offers a quieter living space and also features a wood-burning stove. The ground floor further benefits from a spacious bedroom suite with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room, providing excellent flexibility for guests, multigenerational living or home working. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs there is a generous master bedroom with en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobes, along with three further well-proportioned double bedrooms, all benefiting from built-in storage. A family bathroom fitted with bath and separate shower completes the first floor.

Externally, the property is accessed via a gated driveway providing ample parking and turning space, along with a detached double garage with twin doors. The garden grounds surround the property and feature extensive south and east-facing lawns allowing sun throughout the day. To the rear, a large paved patio accessed from the family room provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the mature woodland backdrop creates a peaceful and private setting.

The property benefits from air source central heating with underfloor heating on the ground floor. It is connected to a mains water supply with drainage via a shared sewage treatment plant. A factor manages the development with an annual fee of approximately £600, and residents also enjoy access to additional woodland and amenity land nearby.
