Historic home complete with tower

Ahouse with history is often top of the wish list and South Lodge certainly ticks all the boxes for a dream period home.

Found on the beautiful Keith Hall Estate near Inverurie, this charming three-bedroom home comes complete with its own tower and boasts many original features.

Thanks to careful renovation, South Lodge would make a truly unique family home and dates back to 1810.

The echoes of the past can be felt from the moment you step into the lovely entrance hall where there are original feature red brick walls.

At the heart of the home is the beautiful kitchen which is in an unusual hexagonal shape.

One of a kind is clearly the theme throughout South Lodge and the kitchen boasts a fabulous period dresser with inset sink and soap wood worktop.

The dresser itself is made from Lethenty Mill Wood from Keith Hall Estate, and the kitchen also offers the original shutters and side extension – which now houses the white goods.

Cooking in a room so seeped in history will certainly be a talking point for guests and there is plenty of room for dining furniture.

The lounge provides an ideal spot to retire after dinner, it is flooded with light thanks to patio doors whilst the focal point is the lovely open fire.

This is a room which will change with the seasons, from the summer months when the patio doors are flung open to cosy winter nights with a fire crackling in the grate.

Two good-sized double bedrooms can be found downstairs alongside the family bathroom, where there is a three-piece suite and separate shower cubicle.

Head upstairs to the tower which really is South Lodge’s crowning glory, and the South Lodge’s final bedroom.

This room mirrors the hexagonal shape of the kitchen below, and if you look up, you’ll spy the original wooden roof beams on the ceiling.

The stunning glazed windows finish the look and overlook open countryside – new owners may find themselves drawing straws for what will probably be referred to as the tower room.

South Lodge sits within its own private plot complete with a pond, and there is a beautiful seating area which will be perfect for al fresco dining.

There’s also the potential for a summer house thanks to exclusive use of a log cabin, which benefits from power, light, and full double glazing.

Any youngsters will be sure to settle on this spot as the ultimate den, but it is very much a blank canvas with the potential to be used as a games room or even your very own bar.

A large sweeping driveway provides parking alongside a double garage. You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to beautiful walks on the estate, and you’re only a short drive to Inverurie where there are plenty of amenities.

Offers should be made in the region of more than £275,000.
