For many of us, the idyllic family home is a spacious house in a residential area within reasonable travelling distance to city amenities.
This set-up is perfect for children as not only do they have a quiet and friendly place to grow-up in, their parents remain close to vital links including work opportunities and accessible airport links should they desire a holiday abroad. And Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire is the perfect place to lead this fantastic kind of lifestyle.
Less than 20 miles from Aberdeen, the town’s residents have often quoted its stunning waterfront area as just one of the reasons they love living there.
Lined with quaint cafes, traditional British pubs and home to the much-loved Aunty Betty’s ice cream parlour, every day feels like a holiday in Stonehaven.
So if this is the kind of life you’d like to lead, make sure you schedule a viewing for 1 Bath Street, a fabulous four-bedroom home in the town’s prime residential area.
The semi-detached sandstone house is brimming with period features dating back to 1907. Its characterful high ceilings, original fireplaces, moulded skirtings and picture rails are a rare find in today’s market, which is quickly filling with modern new builds.
After stepping inside the welcoming hallway, visitors will soon find themselves in the elegant lounge which is the perfect gathering spot for all the family. The room has a large bay window with views overlooking the front garden and the impressive light fitting which completes the room’s look will be included in the £470,000 starting price.
Towards the back of the home is the grand dining room which will serve the lucky new owners well for both special occasions and everyday meals. A door leads directly into the kitchen which is fitted with cream units and a contrasting wood-effect bunker. There is a handy utility room to the back of the kitchen with extra storage space.
Walking up the carpeted staircase, the mezzanine landing has a feature stained glass skylight and leads to the master bedroom.
Complete with en suite, this spacious room comfortably fits freestanding storage units, a double bed and a reading chair.
The remaining three bedrooms are also of a good size, giving each family member their own space.
Outside, there is a sheltered and easy-to-maintain back garden with a patio area to enjoy in the warmer months. That is of course if you can tear yourself away from the town’s stunning waterfront.
