3 House of Daviot, Mackenzie Drive, Daviot, Inverurie, AB51 0NR

A Magnificent Category B Listed Period Residence forming the Prestigious East Wing of Daviot House

Occupying the distinguished east wing of the magnificent House of Daviot, this exceptional Category B Listed residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of remarkable character, architectural significance and timeless elegance. Forming part of one of Aberdeenshire's most notable country houses, the property seamlessly blends the grandeur of a historic Georgian mansion with the comforts and conveniences of contemporary family living.
Approached by a sweeping tree-lined driveway through beautifully maintained grounds, the impressive House of Daviot enjoys a commanding position amidst rolling Aberdeenshire countryside with far-reaching views towards the iconic Hill of Bennachie. The estate's origins date back to the early 18th century when the site was first developed by the Elphinstone family, with the present mansion constructed in the early 19th century. Over the years, the house has played an important role in the area's history, latterly serving as Daviot Hospital before being sympathetically restored and converted into an exclusive collection of prestigious private residences.

Extending over four substantial floors complete with basement, this outstanding home offers generous and adaptable accommodation of considerable character. Throughout, period features including lofty ceilings, elegant Crittal windows and impressive proportions create a wonderful sense of space and grandeur, whilst modern enhancements ensure the property is perfectly suited to modern living.

The welcoming entrance hall leads to the heart of the home, an exceptional dining kitchen and family room of impressive scale. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday family life and entertaining, the kitchen is fitted with granite worktops, a Britannia range cooker, slate flooring and excellent storage. This wonderful space flows effortlessly into the spectacular conservatory which extends along the full length of the house. Flooded with natural light through extensive glazing, it provides an outstanding setting for entertaining or relaxation while enjoying uninterrupted views across the estate grounds. French doors open directly onto a sunny patio, allowing seamless indoor and outdoor living throughout the seasons.

The ground floor further accommodates a study or craft room, a cloakroom, utility storage, boiler room and a versatile basement room which could serve as a home office, gymnasium, children's den or games room.

Ascending the staircase, the first-floor accommodation is centred around a magnificent drawing room, an elegant reception space bathed in natural light from five large windows. The room enjoys glorious views across the surrounding landscape and offers a truly impressive setting for entertaining guests or relaxing in comfort.
The principal suite is equally impressive, benefiting from a bright double-aspect orientation and fitted wardrobes. Its luxurious en-suite bathroom features a jacuzzi bath, large walk-in shower, twin wash hand basins and delightful views across the countryside. A generous guest bedroom on this floor also enjoys a double-aspect outlook and is served by an en-suite bathroom.

On the upper levels, further beautifully proportioned bedroom accommodation continues the theme of space and character. One bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room, while a particularly characterful turret bedroom enjoys four windows framing breathtaking panoramic views. A further triple-aspect bedroom offers exceptional natural light and is complemented by an en-suite bathroom incorporating both a bath and separate shower.
The property also benefits from extensive storage throughout, oil-fired central heating, underfloor heating within the kitchen, a recently installed boiler, electric vehicle charging point, excellent insulation and a single garage.

One of the home's most appealing features is its privileged position within approximately nine acres of meticulously maintained communal grounds. Residents enjoy access to expansive landscaped gardens, a charming social pavilion and even a golf practice area, and tennis courts, creating a unique country estate lifestyle seldom found within such convenient reach of major amenities.
Despite its idyllic rural setting, the property is exceptionally well connected.
