A stunning five-bedroom mansion near Banchory has been put on the market with an asking price of £895,000.

Hilltop, at Glassel, north-west of Banchory is being sold by agents Aberdein Considine for the price of £895,000.

The property, which has been completed to an “exceptional standard”, also “commands spectacular country views” from its elevated position.

It includes five-bedrooms, three living spaces and five bathrooms.

Potential buyers will also find over two acres of ground which extends to the rear of the property.

Looking at the building itself, the “substantial” house is finished with “smooth render, larch cladding and granite stonework” that are easy on the eye.

Inside, a grand entrance hall leads into a “stunning” formal lounge with a wood-burning stove set inside a granite fireplace – the “perfect place to relax”.

From the lounge, there is an impressive combined kitchen and dining room, with a variety of bespoke granite surfaces and wood cabinets.

A patio and utility room lead off the kitchen.

The rear hall gives access to one of the ground-floor bedrooms as well as the shower and sauna room.

The upstairs staircase then leads up to a combined office and “game” room, which enjoys a “breathtaking” view.

Elsewhere, the master bedroom includes a dressing area, fitted wardrobe and en-suite bathroom. Across the landing the rest of the property’s bedrooms can be found.

Outside, an extensive gravel driveway provides ample turning space and there is a tarred area to the front of the double garage which is fitted with an electric door.

The detached oak framed triple car port provides further sheltered parking and storage.

The garden grounds are fully enclosed and mostly laid to lawn with a decorative rockery area and a path leads down to the stock proof paddock.
