Stunning, completely transformed and extended Victorian house.

Description

This granite and slate mid terrace, extended period property is now an outstanding contemporary home which has been professionally designed and expertly renovated to create an immaculate, turnkey home. Period style features have been respected to retain some traditional character with high ceilings, panel doors, deep skirting boards and plaster/cornice work. A curved staircase built by Neil Scullion, acclaimed craftsman cabinetmakers, was modelled on the original and is a true masterpiece. Where possible the woodwork has been restored to the Victorian pitch pine finish. Two fireplaces in the reception rooms have stone surrounds and a cast iron fireplace in the first floor bedroom has striking turquoise tiles. The luxury kitchen, bathroom and sanitaryware were supplied by Laings of Inverurie.
