Exceptional former mill conversion set within stunning private grounds with panoramic countryside views, luxury hot tub and self-contained annexe

Commanding breathtaking views from its secluded elevated setting, this outstanding former mill has been sympathetically and extensively renovated to create a truly exceptional family home. Nestled within wonderful private grounds, the property offers a rare combination of character, space and flexibility, all within easy reach of Aberdeen and the surrounding business centres.

Dating from circa 1900 and converted to its present layout around 1970, the home extends to approximately 268sqm and enjoys an enviable semi-rural position surrounded by beautiful countryside. The extensive gardens are a particular feature, with mature grounds, private seating areas, a productive polytunnel and a luxurious hot tub perfectly positioned to overlook the gardens and rolling landscape beyond. Whether entertaining guests or enjoying peaceful evenings outdoors, the setting is simply spectacular.

Upon entering, a welcoming hallway provides access to a convenient cloakroom WC and sets the tone for the generous accommodation beyond. The beautifully appointed dining kitchen is flooded with natural light and enjoys uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside, creating the perfect setting for everyday family life. Adjacent to the kitchen is an elegant separate dining room, ideal for formal entertaining, family celebrations and dinner parties. Tucked beneath the striking open-tread staircase is a useful study area, providing an excellent space for home working or study.

A few steps lead to the magnificent mezzanine-level living space, undoubtedly the heart of the home. Featuring an impressive wall of glazing which frames the ever-changing landscape and captures the beauty of every season, this split-level room is both dramatic and inviting. With ample space for lounging and dining, together with a large wood-burning stove creating a wonderful focal point, it is a room designed equally for relaxing with family and entertaining on a grand scale.

The first floor provides excellent family accommodation, comprising a luxurious principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, three further generously proportioned bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom.

On the lower ground floor, a superb self-contained annexe offers outstanding flexibility and could function as a private retreat for teenagers, accommodation for extended family, guest quarters, or an attractive Airbnb opportunity. Complete with its own lounge area, kitchen facilities, bedroom, shower room and direct access to the garden, it provides independent living while remaining connected to the main home. Adjacent to the annexe is a utility room and a private gymnasium.

Combining historic charm with modern family living, this remarkable home offers a unique lifestyle opportunity in a sought-after location close to Peterculter.
