Swimming pools, snooker rooms and even outdoor dining domes, we’ve picked six sensational north and north-east homes that are on the market for over £1 million.

Cults House, Cults Avenue, Cults, Aberdeen

Handsome home: Cults House has six bedrooms, five bathrooms, six reception rooms and beautiful gardens with a lily pond.

When a property has its own billiard room you know it’s in a class of its own.

And that’s not the only five-star feature in this stunning six-bedroom home as there is also a library with fitted bookshelves and steps leading down to a triple-aspect home office with fitted desk furniture and cabinets.

It’s not just the beautiful property and grounds that come with this sale though as there’s also a hefty piece of history attached to this home, which was the first house to be built in Cults by the Irvine family who owned Drum Castle.

Reach for the sky: Light streams in from all angles in this pretty room.

Offers over £1,450,000 with Savills.

Fitzroy, 46 Culter House Road
Milltimber, Aberdeen

Soak up the sun: The wrap-around balconies enjoy beautiful views.

Imagine lying back on the sun lounger on your private balcony watching the beautiful sunset.

That dream could be a reality at this super-chic, luxury low-energy home.

Set out over three floors, the architecturally designed, four-bedroom home boasts features including a Scandinavian-style open-plan living area, floating staircases and decked balconies spanning the whole width of the house.

Work of art: This stunning eco property is a breath of fresh air.

Price over £1,700,000 with Ledingham Chalmers.

Straloch House, Newmachar, Aberdeenshire

Luxury countryside living: This resplendent rural retreat is out of this world.

With no fewer than 15 bedrooms, putting up guests overnight would never be a problem at this A-listed mansion house.

Like something out of the hit period drama Bridgerton, this house – situated in its own private estate grounds and woodland – also has its own small loch, walled garden with waterfall, billiard room and gym.

In addition to the mansions, there’s also a private chapel, a detached two-bedroom gate lodge and over 63 acres of grounds.

Anyone for a game of snooker? Also check out that bottle collection.

Offers over offers over £2,700,000 with Galbraith.

Easter Auchintoul, Tomatin, Inverness

Resplendent home: This sprawling home near Inverness is something special.

BBC’s Escape to the Country has nothing on this impressive country house.

Nestled within 30 acres of rolling countryside, this detached home has six bedrooms and five bathrooms and also comes with a two-bedroom self-contained cottage, an excellent array of outbuildings as well as grazing land and mixed woodland with deer herd.

Alfresco dining: Enjoy dramatic views while dining outdoors.

Offers over £1,600,000 with Galbraith.

Dalhebity House, Bieldside, Aberdeen

House of dreams: This plush property is in a league of its own.

When property tycoon Stewart Milne put his incredible house on the market in May for £7.5m, it caused quite a stir.

From the swimming pool and gym to the tennis court and boating lake, his home really is the stuff of dreams.

It’s the home’s history that is truly fascinating though as it was built on the site of the late Diana, Princess of Wales’ grandmother’s property.

Swim under the stars: The spa complex would rival any luxury hotel.

Offers over £7,500,000 with Savills.

Craigentoul, Hillhead Road, Bieldside, Aberdeen

Endorphin dose: Working out has never looked so appealing.

Magnificent is one word to describe this seven-bedroom family home complete with swimming pool, steam room, sauna, tennis court and air-conditioned gym.

Dating back to about 1880, this home has been lovingly transformed by the current owners into an exceptional family home.
