Ageing like a fine wine, this timeless Victorian granite home is brimming with period charm and character.

Belying its 129-year-old history, the superb semi-detached property in Cattofield Place, close to the University of Aberdeen and Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, has the perfect blend of period features and modern touches.

Striking from the outside with its beautiful bay windows and its light grey granite stonework, it’s only once over the threshold where the property’s personality really shines through.

Instantly warm and homely, the attractive entrance vestibule with its beautifully tiled floor sets a relaxing tone which flows through the rest of the home.

Good homely vibes throughout

Right from the off, the stunning period features stand out as the door leading into the hallway has intricate stained glass panels which nod back to the property’s rich history.

At heart of the home is the fantastic front lounge where a wonderful bay window makes for the perfect place for the family Christmas tree.

This elegant space also has a warm and rustic feel to it with exposed floor boards complementing the fireplace and cornicing.

Cook up a storm in the kitchen

Located at the back of the home, the sitting room is also ideal for relaxing with family or friends, especially as a door leads directly out to the garden where barbecues can be savoured.

The kitchen in the home has cheery yellow walls, grey floor tiles, white counters and cupboards with black and white counters. — Keen cooks can try out their culinary skills in the well equipped kitchen. Image: Aberdein Considine

And whether it’s a full Sunday roast with all the trimmings or a quick bite for lunch, the kitchen has all the worktop space, storage and appliances required for whipping up tasty meals.

Next to the kitchen is the large dining room with plenty of space for all the family plus invited guests.

Three cosy bedrooms

From here, there is access to a back hallway where there is a cloakroom and a door to the garden.

Upstairs, there are three good-sized bedrooms including the impressive master bedroom with fitted wardrobes, an additional storage cupboard and a bay window to watch the world go by.
