ABERDEEN CITY Summerhill House, 17 North Anderson Drive, Aberdeen AB15 6DZ OFFERS OVER 749,000 Viewing strictly by appointment telephone 01224 317900 DESCRIPTION This Category B Listed granite Georgian mansion built around 1800, stands in grounds of some 1.5 acres, set back from the road, accessed along a private, tree lined avenue, and enjoying immense privacy and seclusion despite its particularly convenient city location. Sitting amidst mature garden grounds with a variety of native and specimen trees, some of which have preservation orders in place, the property offers spacious and versatile family accommodation across three floors, with fantastic garden grounds which are a haven for children to play, for adults to relax or entertain, and especially idyllic for the enthusiastic gardener. The property was badly damaged internally by fire some six years ago and was completely reconstructed and refurbished throughout with new plasterwork, insulation and a slate roof, with subsequent redecoration, new plumbing and electrics. Kitchens and bathrooms were installed and an efficient oil fired central heating system added. In effect, what has been created is a modern, easy and cost effective home within a traditional exterior, in a lovely setting. It should be noted that although the property sits in extensive grounds, with space for another dwelling, there may or may not be future development potential due to the special significance of the trees within its boundary and potential buyers would have to satisfy themselves as to the probability of any permissions being granted. The property is entered at the front through the porch and thereafter into the reception hallway, through to a rear lobby, with access to all the ground floor rooms. These consist of a formal dining room, a dining kitchen, utility room, shower room, guest bedroom, study and music room. On the first level, there is a convenient kitchenette, a large, light-filled lounge, sitting room, bathroom and two double bedrooms. The top floor has another three double bedrooms, a bathroom and two boxrooms. Decoration is a blend of neutral paintwork and accent wallpapers, there are carpets, laminates and ceramic floor tiles, and with the usual fixtures and fittings included in the sale, buyers can be sure of an easy move. Presented in excellent order throughout, early viewing is most strongly recommended.
