It is very seldom that a period property of this calibre becomes available, so we are very excited to bring to the market this prestigious four bedroom dwelling within the very popular village of Aboyne in the heart of Royal Deeside. It has been owned by the current family for many years and the minute you enter you can appreciate that this has been a very much loved family home. It is in excellent order and offers very well proportioned accommodation over two levels that boasts many period features including high ceilings with cornice, deep skirting boards and wooden floors. The property is beautifully presented throughout and in ready to move in condition. It benefits from wood burning central heating, partial double glazing, real fire, double garage and self contained annexe. The delightful gardens offer a peaceful haven while being only a short walk from the village centre. We highly recommend early viewing of this property to avoid missing out on this excellent opportunity.
