4 Achath Steadings is an impressive traditional stone steading forming part of a small development in Castle Fraser, surrounded by rolling countryside and views of the hills.

Despite the beautiful rural setting, the property is well located for easy access to Dunecht, Kemnay, Inverurie and Westhill, and only 15 miles from Aberdeen.

This family home extends to over 200 sqm, including five bedrooms, three bathrooms and two reception rooms, with impressive contemporary finishes and an abundance of natural light.

Hilary Murray of Galbraith, who is handling the sale, said: “This is a wonderful home in a quiet countryside location with easy access to Inverurie and the centre of Aberdeen. The original conversion was finished to an exceptionally high standard and has since been further enhanced by the present owners both inside and out. The layout is ideal for contemporary family life including a bedroom and shower room on the ground floor which is ideal for visiting family and friends or perhaps for older relatives. Beautifully presented throughout, we expect a great deal of interest.”

The open plan living space which incorporates the kitchen, family room and dining room, is the heart of the home. The kitchen area is well designed to incorporate plenty of storage, food preparation space and informal dining. The stone worktops extend to the breakfast bar and the integral coffee machine, dishwasher and microwave will remain, along with the American style fridge freezer and range cooker.

Also on the ground floor is the entrance hall, additional reception room, utility room, rear hallway, double bedroom and shower room. On the first floor is the master bedroom with en-suite shower room, plus three further double bedrooms and family bathroom.

The garden is of a courtyard style and was professionally designed and landscaped in 2016 to provide a very sheltered and attractive outdoor space with a central lawn, borders with carefully chosen plants including acers, fruit trees and climbers. The decking is the perfect spot to relax and entertain during the warmer months.

The front garden is edged by mature hedging and varied plants, with a parking area for several cars.

Castle Fraser is just over 2 miles from the popular village of Dunecht and only 2.5 miles from Kemnay, ensuring amenities are close at hand. The National Trust of Scotland’s Castle Fraser is a short drive along the road from Achath and offers beautiful walks, play parks and café. Equally Dunecht Estate is also a short drive with lovely walks and golf courses. The city of Aberdeen is 15 miles and Aberdeen International Airport is a 20-minute drive.
