Cheryl Livingstone checks out a lovely family home in the picturesque Ferryhill area of Aberdeen.
You might not know its name but you will definitely know what it looks like.
Large granite homes line the streets with their black cast-iron railings and green trees creating the perfect picturesque look.
This is Ferryhill, one of the most desirable places to live in the Granite City thanks to its proximity to the city centre and all its amenities, yet offers a hideaway from the hustle and bustle.
If it is your dream to move to this area, then now is your chance with number 47 Murray Terrace coming on to the market at offers over £390,000.
The luxury, four-bedroom self-contained double upper apartment has been refurbished and given a sympathetic blend of traditional features with modern amenities.
The current owners obviously realise that first impressions count and took great care on the interior design as well as the original features and modern touches.
Features of note include high ceilings, lofty windows, bay windows, double-height skirtings, wood panelling and stained-glass windows as well as an exposed granite wall in the upper hallway.
There are many lovely rooms in this apartment but my favourites have to be the elegant lounge, with its bay window and feature fireplace with living flame coat fire, and the formal dining room – where you can enjoy lovely views of Duthie Park. There is also the bespoke kitchen with its Corian work surfaces and the amazing master suite with a customised dressing room, underfloor heating and a luxurious en suite bathroom.
Outside, there is a front garden which is low maintenance lock block with wrought-iron railings and a gate, an exclusive rear fenced garden with a wooden deck and sunken patio as well as an exclusive outhouse and shared wash house.
