If city living is what you are after, check out this lovely family home in the west end of Aberdeen, writes Cheryl Livingstone.
Most people assume that if you live in the city, you miss out on having beautiful green areas and wildlife on your doorstep. That may be true for some city locations but not if you live in the west end of Aberdeen.
Woodburn Avenue has a plethora of green areas close by, including the magnificent Hazlehead Park which has a pets corner, maze, swing park and cafe, making it easy to spend the day there. There is also the start of a lovely walk to Johnston Gardens nearby and Westburn and Victoria Parks are not too far away.
The street is close to some of the main arterial routes through the city making most areas readily accessible, and the area is well served by local shops at Mannofield and Seafield, public transport facilities and is within the catchment area of good primary and secondary schools.
If this all sounds good to you, then we have found a house that would make the perfect base to explore this side of the city.
Number 25 Woodburn Avenue is a lovely detached house which has many delightful features and rooms. Highlights include a lounge with box bay window, which floods the room with light, a spacious family room and conservatory on open plan and with french doors to a south-facing patio and dining kitchen.
It has four bedrooms, which could be used for other purposes if you don’t need all that sleeping accommodation. One room could make a lovely dining room while another would make a great study.
The house, on the market for offers over £590,000, also offers someone a renovation project as it does require a degree of modernisation. For the new owner, it would be a chance to put their own stamp on the house and make it into their dream home.
Outside, there is a driveway with parking for two vehicles leading to a large garage and at the back there is a delightful south-facing garden.
