Grianan Auchlunies, Blairs, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, AB12

Detached and spacious modern house with separate apartment

Description

Constructed by Forbes Homes, a highly regarded local builder, Grianan was built around 27 years ago to a traditional but modern design over two levels. The house displays an exemplary level of finish, and boasts the extensive use of oak flooring in many areas. Combining both the ease and style of open plan living with separate reception rooms, the interior layout provides real versatility. The house is surrounded by a fenced garden and benefits from a detached double garage with a very well presented one bedroom apartment above (constructed 10 years ago).

The accommodation begins with a glazed porch/vestibule which creates a bright and welcoming entrance and opens into the oak-floored reception hallway, off which are all the main living spaces including a sitting room with wood burning stove. The heart of the home is an open plan dining kitchen which leads into a lounge and in turn into the sun room/dining room. The kitchen is well equipped with an Everhot range, separate hob and steam oven and good array of cabinetry, while the lounge off is perfect for informal relaxation. The dining room has a conservatory feel with windows on all sides and a door to the garden. A utility room has a WC off. Also on this level is a larger than usual home office (which could also work as bedroom 6 if required) and a ground floor bedroom with en suite shower room which sits off the other side of the hallway, making it a perfect private space for guests or older family members.

Upstairs there are a further four double bedrooms, the principal with en suite shower room and dressing room and the other three all with in-built wardrobes. There is also a main bathroom with curved bath. Completing the first floor is a generously sized, wood-floored recreation room that would be also ideal as a playroom or studio.

Outside: Attractive gardens surround the property and are predominantly laid in grass and enclosed by timber fencing, with an extensive surfaced area between the house and the garage.

Garage & Apartment: There is a large detached double garage with two electrically operated doors and external steps leading to a decked balcony which provides access to a residential apartment. The apartment was constructed around ten years ago by architect Eilidh Izat, whose awards include RIBA House of the year 2025. This is a lovely space incorporating an open plan lounge/kitchen, well-appointed double bedroom and modern wet room with WC and wash basin.
