With its own apple orchard, vegetable garden, woodland, treehouse and wildflower garden, Ardruighe house is a horticultural haven like no other.

Positively blooming on the outside – where the wonderful garden and river views can be enjoyed – it’s inside this magnificent Milltimber home in Beaconhill Road where strong family roots can flourish.

From the expansive open plan kitchen and sunroom to the library area and the summer house, every inch of this stunning and secluded six-bedroom property is perfect for growing families.

With no fewer than four reception rooms and three bathrooms, Ardruighe is made for entertaining.

Designer kitchen

At the heart of the home is the expansive open plan kitchen/living room where cooking and relaxing go hand in hand.

Bringing the outside in with its wrap around windows, the designer kitchen is a breath of fresh air.

Featuring fitted solid maple units and a stylish granite worktop together with an integrated dishwasher and six burner gas/electric cooker, even the most reluctant of cooks are bound to be inspired.

The icing on the cake though is the superb seating area where there is a log burner for the ultimate cosy night in.

Sunroom

And whether it’s a roast dinner with extended family or a romantic meal for two, the spacious dining room provides the perfect ambiance for all occasions.

Meanwhile, dessert or after dinner coffee can be savoured while taking in the panoramic river and garden views through in the neighbouring sunroom.

Or during the summer, why not throw open the doors and finish the night off by sitting outside under the stars.

Also on the ground floor is an internal hallway, large storeroom (with plumbing for a bathroom), a downstairs toilet, a guest coat hanging area and internal access to the double garage with an electrically operated up and over door.

The log burner means movie nights are always a cosy experience.

Six sumptuous bedrooms

Meanwhile putting up guests for the evening is never an inconvenience as there are six beautiful bedrooms to choose from including the sumptuous and spacious master bedroom complete with a maple floor, a recently upgraded en suite shower room and superb views over the Dee Valley.

There are also two large double bedrooms with storage and river views plus two further double bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as a study.

Completing this level is a toilet and three large storage cupboards.

Enjoy stunning sunsets from the comfort of your own bed.

Woods, orchard and vegetable garden

Meanwhile, fans of the great outdoors will be bowled over by the beautifully maintained garden complete with lovely outdoor seating and entertaining areas.

Together with the wonderful garden there are also several outhouses: a large studio/ gym with electricity and two well-maintained sheds, one of which is fitted out as a workshop with electricity.

Come rain or shine the garden can be enjoyed in all seasons thanks to the superb summer house while there is also a dog kennel with run, three log stores, a greenhouse in the vegetable garden and a very productive fruit cage full of redcurrants, blackcurrants and blueberries.

As if that wasn’t enough, alongside the driveway there is an apple orchard and wildflower garden area.

To the south of the garden, the land extends to a 1.1 acre woodland wonderland featuring a tree house with a view.

This woodland supplies all the logs for heating while the current owners have invested in solar panels and receive a tariff of around £600 per year and additional savings of approximately £1,100.

Other key features of this home includes double glazed, serviced mains gas and drainage.
