Description
Description
Dating back to 1885, this fabulous home was significantly extended and refurbished in 2020. It is believed the house was originally constructed for a silk merchant who imported silk on the sail ships into Aberdeen Port and used Blair Devenick as his country residence. The house was originally designed as a three bedroom bungalow with part of the upper floor being occupied as servant quarters. The lower garden level would have been the kitchen and scullery areas. Today the property flows beautifully as a family home over three floors with reception and living areas, children’s floor and guest zone. Period features are still evident with 3.8m ceilings at ground floor level, deep skirting boards, ornate plaster work, intricate door frames and waxed finished panelled doors. Décor includes Farrow & Ball paint shades and oak flooring. The stunning kitchen is handcrafted by Smallbone, while bathroom and shower rooms are from Laings of Inverurie. Wall and floor tiles are a combination of limestone, tiles from Porcelanosa and terrazzo. The drawing room and sitting room have limestone fireplaces and wood burning stoves.
Blair Devenick is a home of great stature with the perfect blend of old and new. The imposing entrance vestibule sets the tone of this grand residence. An interior glazed panel door leads to the reception hallway with intricate plaster work. The elegant sitting room has wonderful views from the bay window, while the formal dining room has large windows, functioning shutters and Dee Valley views. Providing sumptuous space is the principal bedroom suite with a dressing room incorporating plenty of hanging and shelf space. The stylish en suite has an extensive side window, oversized shower enclosure with jacuzzi shower, freestanding Villeroy and Boch extra long and deep bath, wash basin in a vanity unit and a bidet. The drawing room is a magnificent third reception room with incredible levels of natural light from the front and side windows. A fitted bookcase extends across one wall and is illuminated by four downlighters. Linked seamlessly to the main house via a wide wooden staircase with glass panel balustrades is the heart of the home: the stunning open plan family room and dining kitchen. This is a fabulous entertaining space which is also ideal for everyday modern living. The feeling of bringing the outdoors in is created by 2.9m high windows and sliding patio doors along one wall. These flood the room with natural light and provide views across Deeside. Doors open onto the ultimate south facing alfresco spot with composite decking. Handcrafted is a Smallbone kitchen from the Brasserie range. A marble washstand houses a Kohler sink. All the appliances are Gaggenau and include a hob and Elica twin cooker hood. A bank of wall cabinets provide integrated and concealed steam oven, convention oven, warming drawer, refrigerator and freezer. At the centre is an island with an integrated oversized custom butcher’s block, storage on one side and dining space on the other. A wide, carpeted turned staircase leads to the lower garden level with two wall niches. For everyday domestic tasks there is the utility room with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer along with fitted base units. There is a walk in cupboard housing the boiler and two further walk in storage cupboards with opaque fronted glass panels. From the inner hall, French doors lead into the lounge which has a bay window and French doors opening into wardrobe space which has potential for conversion into an en suite. A guest bedroom has a front facing window. The shower room has a white WC and wash basin suite and oversized shower enclosure. With secondary access to the house is the boot room which is fitted with bench style seating and storage space. A walk in cupboard has potential as a shower room. There is a cloakroom with a WC and wash basin. Ascending to the first floor is a carpeted staircase with twist style spindles and wooden balustrade which leads to the landing where there is a built in linen cupboard on the landing. Bedroom two has lovely views, built in wardrobes and a fitted desk and shelves along one wall. Bedroom three again has similar views and built in wardrobes. Bedroom four has a walk in wardrobe. These three rooms are serviced by the main bathroom which has a deep bath, separate shower enclosure WC and wash basin.
A sweeping private tarmacadam driveway curves upwards from Den of Cults. The driveway provides ample space for turning and parking of multiple vehicles. The site is about 1.25 acres and the boundaries are a combination of masonry walls and timber fencing. A secure gate at the rear gives access to the old Deeside railway line. The grounds are mostly laid in lawn with a variety of mature hedging, trees and shrubs. A low level patio below the reception rooms with traditional style lamps is most attractive. Best for outdoor entertaining is the fabulous decked terrace which is an extension of the open plan family room and dining kitchen. Through a garden gate you can find direct access to Deeside Way.
Garage: Detached timber double garage with pitched roof.
