Annesley Steading East, Torphins, Banchory, AB31 4HL

The heart of the home is the spacious dining kitchen, fitted with an extensive range of beech base and wall units, complemented by roll-front work surfaces and splashback tiling. A cooker with extractor hood and integrated dishwasher are included in the sale. Just off the kitchen is a practical utility area with plumbing and space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.

From the inner hallway, you'll find the elegant formal lounge, an inviting space flooded with natural light thanks to full-length windows overlooking the rear garden, and additional west-facing windows. A standout feature of this room is the eye-catching wood-burning stove (installed in 2007), set on a slate hearth with a pine surround and matching bespoke storage cupboards. This generous room offers ample space for freestanding furniture.

On the opposite side of the ground floor is a remarkably spacious double bedroom or family room, with charming views over the garden and a good range of fitted wardrobes. Also on the ground floor is a second double bedroom and a well-appointed family bathroom, complete with a separate shower cubicle.

Upstairs, a carpeted staircase leads to a bright and airy landing that gives access to the remaining accommodation. The master suite includes a walk-through dressing area leading up to the bedroom, which enjoys a dual-aspect outlook across the garden. The en suite shower room features a walk-in cupboard, WC, and washbasin. Three further double bedrooms are also located on this floor, one of which offers direct access to a spacious loft area. A cloakroom with WC and sink completes the upper level.

Externally, a gravel driveway provides parking for up to four vehicles and leads to a detached double garage with power and lighting. The beautifully maintained garden offers a high degree of privacy thanks to mature hedging, and is mainly laid to lawn with well-stocked borders and raised vegetable planters. The south-facing rear garden enjoys excellent sunlight, and the sheltered patio area is perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, flexibility, and quality of accommodation on offer, as well as the delightful, private garden setting.
