Amazing properties of the week

Our weekly round-up of the best properties on the market at the moment:

Cockley Brae kitchen
Cockley Brae, Maryculter

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

Cockley Brae, Maryculter

Originally constructed in the 1850s, Cockley Brae was converted in 2002 into a beautiful and substantial family home. It offers the best of both worlds with stunning views over Deeside and the rolling countryside yet it is in close proximity of Aberdeen’s city centre.

From the outside it is a lovely rustic former steading, surrounded by more than an acre of farmland. The interior, however, has a modern design, and a great flow through the house has been created.

The Shaker-style kitchen with its gloss granite worktops and free-standing island will instantly catch any guest’s eye and makes a great first impression on visitors.

It is open plan to the living room, which has two large windows and great views take centre stage.

Amazing views continue upstairs in the master bedroom, where you can look out on to the beautiful Dee valley.

It also boasts four further double bedrooms. The open plan kitchen, dining and family area is the perfect hub for relatives to sit and spend time together.

Cockley Brae is situated in a quiet elevated position in Maryculter with the views from the house being quite panoramic. This affords an extremely rare opportunity to reside in a most beautiful, tranquil setting yet one which offers easy access to Aberdeen city.
