Architectural allure: If you think this home is beautiful on the outside, wait until you see the inside.

Built by Hugh McLean, the chief magistrate in Old Aberdeen in the late 18th Century, this Georgian townhouse certainly has the law of attraction.

Set out over three floors, this architectural abode also has a garden flat in the basement floor which would lend itself to a “granny flat” or could be rented out.

Inside, the property is perfect for growing families with six bedrooms, four bathrooms and five receptions rooms.

Offers over £790,000 with Taggart, Meil, Mathers Solicitors.

The Firs, 70 Beltie Road, Torphins, Banchory

Victorian gem: With hidden doors and period features, this superb home is waiting to be explored.

Inspired by the properties he saw on the outskirts of Toronto, Aberdeen master mason John Morgan and his brother-in-law, the renowned Victorian architect Alexander Ellis, created this masterpiece of a home in 1890.

Ageing just like a fine wine, this five-bedroomed, detached Victorian home, is brimming with elegance, grace and beauty.

At the heart of the home is an impressive dining kitchen while other key features include a sauna, library and a hidden door in the wood panelling on the landing which leads up to an attic room.
