A family home in a rural position on the edge of Aberdeen
Description
The sale of Upper Kingshill is a rare opportunity to buy a country property with potential to include land by separate negotiation less than 6 miles from Aberdeen city centre. The property comprises a detached house dating from 1972 with development potential, subject to obtaining planning permission. The house has been a much loved family home for over 30 years and although it could benefit from some upgrading and modernising, there is great scope to create a wonderful and spacious family home. The house is built of part roughcast concrete block and part finished with pointed stone to the gable and lower walls under a tile roof. There is PVC double glazing throughout. Accommodation is over two floors in a two wing arrangement. There is a mature garden surrounding the property. Four paddocks extending to 19 acres are available by separate negotiation.
Upper Kingshill is approached from a quiet, no through country road. A shared single track drive which is lined with mature Swedish whitebeam trees leads to the front of the house where there is a large gravel parking area. The front door leads to a vestibule with a glazed inner door to a large welcoming central entrance hall. The entrance hall has a large window and a spiral staircase. A door to the right leads to the dining room and onto the kitchen. The kitchen has a range of base and wall units and an electric Everhot range cooker with four ovens and two hot plates. A door from the kitchen leads to the utility room which has a stainless steel sink and a further door leads to the back porch.
From the entrance hall, to the left, a hall leads to an accessible shower room which also connects to the downstairs bedroom. The hall continues past a study and there is a spacious utility room and connecting boot room.
Ascending to the first floor from the entrance hall, the feature curved staircase opens to a sitting room which has panoramic views across the fields. The first floor has four bedrooms, two on either side of the sitting room. There are dual access bathrooms in between each pair of bedrooms. The bedrooms on either end of the property are triple aspect and each of the bedrooms has countryside views and fitted wardrobes.
Garden:
The garden at Upper Kingshill is mainly grass with mature borders and hedging providing shelter and privacy. Adjacent to the front of the property is a triangle shaped area of grass which is enclosed by a mature leylandii hedge; this was formerly a vegetable garden.
Outbuilding:
There is an attractive stone and slate bothy with sliding wooden door.
Land:
Up to 19 acres is available by separate negotiation. The farmland is divided into four principal fields that are located within one distinct block to the south and east of the house. The arable land is currently fallow but was previously in arable production. The land has been leased over the years but vacant possession is currently available. The land would be ideal for the creation of a smallholding or equestrian unit.
Location
Upper Kingshill is in a rural location in between the western suburbs of Countesswells and Kingswells on a quiet no through road. Countesswells has a recently opened primary school and Sainsbury’s supermarket. The area is within an easy commute of Aberdeen Airport and the commercial centres at Dyce, Kingswells and Westhill. Entry to the awpr and its links to both north and south of the area is close.
