Orrock, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire AB23, 4 bedroom detached house for sale -

Price:

£450,000

Location:

Delfrigs, Aberdeenshire

Description:

This four-bedroom house is a fine example of mid-century modern architecture, set in an exceptional, rural position within the wild Aberdeenshire landscape. The house is architecturally defined by its striking butterfly roof, which crowns a series of dynamic interior spaces spanning 2,100 sq ft across its single storey. Vast expanses of glazing invite an excellent quality of natural light while framing views of the south-facing gardens and surrounding countryside. The location provides easy access to the long stretch of beaches and dunes at Balmedie, less than 10 minutes' drive away; Aberdeen’s city centre and airport are around 20 minutes by car. The Tour Sitting modestly and quite uniquely in its setting, the house makes an immediate impression. Its double-pitched roofline has been paired with a soft, rose-coloured façade and large picture windows, which allow light to flood in from both sides. It is set in a slightly elevated position, so has excellent views over the surrounding countryside. A densely planted, leafy front garden separates the house from the road. The private front driveway provides off-street parking for two cars; there is also a large, double-height integral garage positioned on the easterly wing. Entrance is via a short flight of external steps, leading into the central hallway. Arguably the most impressive part of the house is the primary living space; a warm and welcoming room replete with carefully retained mid-century features. Full-height glazing spans the length of the room, and a fieldstone wall nods to the agricultural vernacular. Timber cladding lines the ceiling, slate tiles with electric underfloor heating run underfoot, and a marble hearth and open fireplace form a natural centrepiece. Original built-in shelving remains on the far wall, and a low set of shelving extends around the perimeter of the room. The kitchen and dining room are arranged in a predominantly open plan, where vintage American cabinetry. Still available at ListedBuy!
