Cheryl Livingstone discovers a lovely family home that offers the peacefulness of the countryside yet is close to the city
Peterculter, known locally as Culter, is a picturesque suburb of Aberdeen, lying just eight miles from the centre.
Being so close to Aberdeen means it is a great location for those working in the Granite City but like to live a little further out.
To keep you busy, there are a variety of sporting and leisure activities on offer such as a lovely walk along the Old Deeside Railway line as well as a good range of shops and an excellent primary school. Secondary schooling is available at Cults Academy just a short distance away.
If this all sounds good then all you need to do is find the perfect home.
Number 1 North Lasts Steading is a superb executive linked steading with five bedrooms and four bathrooms and is available to rent, unfurnished, for around £2,100 per month.
Located just one mile from Peterculter, the steading is surrounded by lovely views and offers its tenants a peaceful country retreat.
It has been tastefully decorated throughout, with fixtures and fittings finished to a very high standard. Highlights include a striking lounge, well appointed dining kitchen, bedroom with en suite facilities, further study or bedroom and a shower room.
Upstairs a split-level gallery and family area leads to three bedrooms, two of which benefit from en suite facilities.
Outside, there is a large front garden, enclosed rear garden and parking. A gardener is also to be included in the lease agreement.
