Converted steading has space, luxury and views
For those who love a converted steading, Struan House, at Mill Of Crynoch, has it all. As well as five bedrooms, this impressive property at Maryculter, Aberdeen, boasts generous garden grounds in an idyllic countryside setting.
There are panoramic countryside views, while the grounds of this lovely home extend to around 1.22 acres. There is also a detached double garage.
The perfect blend of traditional charm and modern touches, this family home is bright and spacious.
And while it enjoys a delightful rural setting, it is just a short drive from Aberdeen city centre and the popular towns of Stonehaven and Banchory.
Upon arriving at the property, the vestibule and hallway offer lots of integrated storage and are nicely decorated.
There is a good-sized sitting room towards the front of the property with dual-aspect windows allowing for lots of natural light and an attractive feature fireplace.
Best of all, patio doors lead out from here to the garden for the benefits of an indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
Moving on to the large dining-kitchen, this features contemporary high-quality units, a handy central island, Miele integrated appliances and plenty of room for informal dining. There are also dual-aspect windows to enjoy views of the grounds and the countryside.
Adjoining the kitchen is the utility room, which has a range of storage units as well as ample space for further appliances.
In addition to the diningkitchen, there is a formal dining room with attractive glass double doors.
This is a flexible space which could be used for a variety of purposes according to the owner’s particular preferences.

Also on this level is the family bathroom with a modern four-piece suite comprising wash hand basin, WC, large bathtub and large corner shower unit. There is also a cloakroom on the ground floor, with wash hand basin and WC.
An open staircase to the east of the property leads up to the next floor where there is a generous landing. This is almost like an extra room in itself, with integrated storage and an area for a home office or even just a quiet and cosy reading nook.
Moving on to the master bedroom, this is a great size and it has the added luxury of an adjoining dressing room and en suite bathroom fitted with a modern threepiece suite comprising WC, floating wash hand basin, and double shower cubicle with glass doors.
There is a second staircase to the west of the property and this leads to a bright landing and the rest of the accommodation.
From here, you will find two further double bedrooms, one of which has a generous en suite bathroom.
Outside, there is a large driveway with off-road parking for several cars and a detached double garage.
The garden grounds feature areas of lawn, well-stocked beds of shrubs and flowering bushes as well as patios.
The back garden is fully enclosed and gated, providing a safe space for children and pets.
The rear patio area offers an ideal spot for al fresco dining or just a morning coffee while enjoying the countryside setting.
