Aberdeen is a city in the north-east of Scotland and is often known as the “Granite City” because many of its buildings were constructed using locally quarried grey granite. Located on the North Sea coast, Aberdeen has a rich maritime history and has long been an important centre for fishing, shipbuilding, and trade. In the late twentieth century, the discovery of North Sea oil transformed the city into a major hub for the energy industry, bringing economic growth and international investment. The city is home to the historic University of Aberdeen, one of the oldest universities in the English-speaking world. Aberdeen also offers a variety of cultural attractions, including museums, galleries, parks, and theatres. Its sandy beach and nearby countryside provide opportunities for outdoor recreation. Today, Aberdeen combines its historic heritage with modern industry and innovation, making it one of Scotland’s most important and dynamic cities.

Read MoreNEW FIXED PRICE ** Lower Strathmore forms the ground and lower ground floor levels of this stunning and imposing Victorian dwelling house designed by renowned Scottish Borders architect J.P. Alison in 1897. Built to the highest possible standards of the period, it was also designed as showcase for local craftsmen as evidenced in the elaborate cornicing throughout, beautiful carved fireplaces and stone pillars which stand at the entrances to the driveway and front door. Although converted into two apartments in the mid 20thC, Lower Strathmore has maintained these notable features. Situated in a cul-de-sac in a sought-after part of town rarely available on the open market, it is hidden from view by mature specimen trees and a variety of shrubs and yet is only minutes away from local services.
The sweeping shared drive leads up to the front of the property and offers ample parking for several vehicles. The property is entered via the main front door into a well-presented vestibule with its original tiling and wallpaper, now painted in a welcoming sunny yellow. Off the vestibule is a very useful two-piece cloakroom with wash hand basin and WC. The spacious and grand hallway offers a delightful first impression of the property with a striking ornate timber fireplace, high ceiling, cornicing and William Morris wallpaper. The hallway leads to all the ground floor accommodation and has a large storage cupboard where the original staircase was sited.
The property boasts two beautifully presented public rooms. The study (which could also be used as a bedroom if so desired) is a bright double aspect room, accessed through a charming archway and is decorated in light neutral tones, windows to the side and front. The main sitting room is a larger, more formal space with bay window to the front and an ornate fire surround with a large Burley wood burning stove. The chimney and stove have both been regularly maintained. Both rooms have beautifully crafted cornicing to ceiling, individually patterned as befits the function of each room. Situated to the side and rear of the property is the extremely well-proportioned dining kitchen benefitting from a marble topped island fitted with useful power points, a range of timber floor and wall units in duck egg blue with timber worktops and a Belfast sink. This is an immaculately presented and sociable room, again ornately corniced, with ample space for dining table and chairs, and a small bay window area provides additional seating within attractive curved walls. There is space for a range style cooker (incl. in the sale) and space for a freestanding fridge freezer, and integrated dishwasher. Glazed doors lead directly out to the south facing garden.
Down the corridor is a useful separate utility room with sink, overhead pulley drier, space and plumbing for a washing machine and drier and this is where the boiler is located. At the end of the passageway are the stone steps leading down to the studio located on the lower ground floor.
The master bedroom, decorated to create a calm and harmonious atmosphere, is situated to the rear of the property, with a view to the trees which run along the rear garden. A timber door leads to a two-piece en- suite with wash hand basin, WC and radiator. There are a further two bedrooms, both well presented with carpet flooring and the smaller of the two, at present used as a study/playroom, benefits from built-in storage. The family bathroom is both spacious and well-appointed and comprises a four-piece suite of bath, wash hand basin, WC and walk in shower enclosure with a chrome electric shower. There is practical tiled flooring and a radiator, supplemented by separately programmable underfloor heating.
Located on the lower ground floor is a basement room/workspace which is currently used as a pottery studio but could be used for a variety of purposes. There is a range of storage here with another workshop located off the main room with access to the electric meter, fuse boxes, digital smart meter and main water supply.
Externally this beautiful home benefits from privacy and mature gardens. The side is laid to lawn with flowering shrubs, a rose garden and a rowan tree centrally placed for summer and autumn interest. There is a timber garage with power, and a flagged patio area for alfresco dining. The unique terraced garden leading up from the patio is planted with bulbs, herbs, ferns and perennials, with a whisky barrel water feature, a small apple tree and weeping cherry. A sloping pathway and stone steps lead up to the large rear garden with lawn and a range of fruit trees and shrubs. At the foot of the bottom garden is the old summer house which adds a charming feature and behind it is a covered log store.
