Countrysid­e retreat just minutes away from city

- ROSEMARY LOWNE

Beautiful countrysid­e views can be soaked up from this attractive four-bedroom converted steading.

Enjoying a tranquil yet central location in Bridge of Don, just outside Aberdeen, Cranfield Steading is perfect for growing families.

First impression­s are excellent as the charming home opens up with a bright entrance vestibule with a useful utility room to suit all needs.

Homely vibes continue in the comfortabl­e lounge area, complete with high ceilings and wonderful far– reaching views. This room is ideal for entertaini­ng friends or family, or for snuggling up for a cosy movie night at home in front of the wood-burning stove.

During summer, you can throw open the French doors and head outside to the patio area for a delicious barbecue or an al fresco glass of wine.

Although, indoor cooking will never be a chore either in the designer Thistle kitchen. Built to the highest quality and featuring an island and high-quality Siemens appliances, it’s sure to become the hub of the home.

Also impressive are the four bright and spacious bedrooms, two of which have en suite bathrooms.

The first bedroom has built-in wardrobes, views over the courtyard and a large en suite with shower.

Breakfast can be enjoyed in the sunshine in the master bedroom, where there are French doors that lead out to the garden, a large walk-in wardrobe and an en suite.

The third and fourth bedrooms also have walk–in wardrobes, and completing the accommodat­ion is a high– quality fitted family bathroom, which is the perfect space to soak away all your worries.

Outside, keen gardeners can get their hands dirty in the exclusive garden grounds, which are grassy and bordered by a stone dyke and flagstone path.

Parking need never be a worry as the property has three parking spaces, while the access road is shared with only one other steading.

And whether you’re working from home or back in the office, this house is ideal.

Not only has it got plenty of space for a home office, it’s only a 13-minute drive to the city centre, making it perfect for commuting or for enjoying some retail therapy.

Other key features include oil-fired central heating, quality Thistle windows, external doors and an L-shaped hallway with superb storage space.

The property boasts quality oak veneer interior doors, oak fascia and skirting, providing a wonderful space for buyers to put their own stamp on.
