Detached house for sale in Beechwood House, The Crossroads, Banchory Devenick, Aberdeen AB12

Detached one and half storey house in secluded grounds with countryside views.

Description
This delightful one and half storey home is about 35 years old and offers very generous living space including a wing with separate external access which could easily become a fully self-contained annexe. Internal doors are a mixture of flush panel wood veneer and timber and glazed types. Skirting and door facings are mainly a Hardwood timber finish. Throughout, the décor is neutral with plain walls and self coloured carpets providing the purchaser with a blank canvas on which to add their own style.

Accommodation:
Custom Iron driveway gates open into the sheltered and secluded setting of Beechwood House. The entrance vestibule with glazed door and side panels gives an immediate flavour of the spacious living throughout. A ground floor hallway has a cloakroom with WC and wash basin. The sitting room is elegant and incredibly bright with floor to ceiling window and central glazed tilt and slide doors opening onto the large terrace. There is also a feature fireplace with a lpg coal effect fire. Adjacent is the formal dining room with twin aspects overlooking the rear garden. With four large windows the dining kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of base, drawer and wall cabinets incorporating glass fronted and open end shelves. A focal point is the range cooker with six ring hob and there is also a fitted dishwasher. For everyday domestic tasks the utility room includes a good range of base cabinets, a washing machine and a tumble dryer, upright refrigerator and freezer. There is also access into the double garage. Within the main body of the house, bedroom two has twin aspect garden windows and bedroom four overlooks the side of the house. Both these bedrooms have en suite shower rooms. Bedroom three is also en suite and ideally located as a guest bedroom. Very versatile is the home office with driveway aspect, but this could easily be another reception space. The southwest portion of the house has its own external door and is ideal for an at home business or multi generational living space. It is currently configured as a recreational room with a rear aspect; a double bedroom (bedroom six) and a bathroom with three piece suite. With the installation of a kitchen area in the recreational room, this wing could become a self-contained apartment, subject to acquiring the relevant planning consents.

Ascending to the first floor is a carpeted turned staircase with timber balustrade. Large front facing windows have built in drawer space below. The principal bedroom has wonderful rear views, built in wardrobes along one wall and an en suite bathroom which was replaced about seven years ago and includes a separate over sized shower enclosure with mains shower and twin wash basins within a vanity unit. Opposite there is another double bedroom also with an en suite shower room.

Outside:
The front driveway has ample turning and parking for numerous vehicles. The outer perimeter has stone walls, established hedging and some timber post and wire fencing. The garden grounds are mostly laid in lawn for low maintenance edged with mature trees, bushes and hedges. A lovely alfresco spot is the patio beyond the sitting room.

Garage:
Integral double garage with up and over door. Power and light.
