Exclusive house put up for sale for £3.2m

ONE of Scotland’s most expensive houses has gone on the market in Aberdeen.

The impressive granite B-listed villa is situated on one of the city’s most sought after streets and has gone on the market for offers over £3.2 million.

It is the latest sign that the property market in the Granite City is buoyant, despite falling oil prices which are leading to hundreds of job cuts in the North Sea.

It is believed to be the first time the property, which was built in 1901, has been listed for sale on the open market.

The pink granite mansion at 1 Rubislaw Den North has been extensively restored and has been fitted with a custombuilt kitchen and had four bathrooms installed.

It boasts seven bedrooms with accommodation spanning three floors and comes with an elegant drawing room, dining room and lounge.

The new owners will have access to 14 acres of private woodland nearby and will live next door to some of the city’s most enterprising entrepreneurs and businessmen.

The west end house is described in the property schedule as being in one of Aberdeen’s “most prestigious” addresses in the heart of the city.

It sits on a leafy street of mansions just round the corner from where the most expensive house in Scotland was sold last year.

Fisherman Peter Tait paid just over £3m for the three-storey granite mansion at 34 Rubislaw Den South, breaking Scottish house price records for 2014.

The previous record for most expensive house sale in 2014 was held by a property in Haddington, East Lothian, which sold for £3m.
