Looking for a new home in time for Christmas? We might have just found the perfect one…
Nothing says Christmas more than stockings hanging from a mantlepiece while a roaring fire warms the room.
It’s a scene that most of us, unfortunately, do not get if your home does not have a fireplace.
But a perfect Christmas scene would certainly be possible for the new owners of 633 Holburn Street, Aberdeen, as a fireplace is just one of the many delightful period features that have been retained in this immaculate five-bedroom, semi-detached villa.
The property has undergone a major programme of refurbishment in recent years. Improvement works include the replacement of the kitchen, bath and en-suite shower room, new windows and redecoration throughout. It’s apparent that the current owners care a lot about this home and its history as the upgrade has been carried out sympathetically to the highest specification.
Period features which have been retained include high ceilings with cornicing and ceiling roses, pitch-pine panelled doors and deep skirtings. These complement the clean lines and contemporary features to create a warm, comfortable and stylish family home.
The highlights are the lounge with bay window and period fireplace and ornate timber surround, decorative tiled inset and open chimney. There are fitted bookshelves on either side of the fireplace. The heart of this fine home is a stunning dining kitchen. It also has a formal dining room with wooden flooring.
A sweeping staircase with cast-iron balustrade and hardwood banister leads to the master bedroom and its lovely en-suite shower room. There are a further four good-sized bedrooms.
Outside the villa, on the market for offers over £450,000, is a small area of garden at the front and a large terraced garden at the back. There is also a paved patio, two outhouses and a timber decked area. It offers a variety of areas to entertain guests and keep all members of the family happy.
The villa is located to the south of Holburn Street and has a wide range of amenities nearby including superstore shopping facilities including Sainsbury’s, Asda, B&Q and Boots. There is easy access to the Robert Gordon University Garthdee Campus, David Lloyd Health Club and the ring road.
There are beautiful riverside walks along the banks of the River Dee and access to the old Deeside railway pathway. The property is also well placed for those working at the Altens and Tullos industrial estates.
