Mill House, Strachan, Banchory, AB31 6LQ

Rarely does an opportunity arise to acquire a property of this distinction in such a truly outstanding, elevated riverside setting. We are therefore delighted to bring to the market Mill House, a beautiful and substantial home enjoying a magnificent position within the Royal Deeside countryside.

Having benefited from extensive renovations over the past couple of decades, the property has been brought up to an excellent standard and has been carefully maintained and beautifully presented by the current owners.

Commanding magnificent views across the surrounding countryside, Mill House is situated close to the charming village of Strachan, approximately three miles from the thriving Royal Deeside town of Banchory. Set within approximately 25 acres of grounds, the property offers a rare and highly appealing opportunity for those seeking a substantial family home with extensive gardens, fields and stabling, alongside exciting potential for a range of lifestyle or business ventures. The scale of the land presents scope to explore opportunities such as glamping, outdoor sports, shooting or other leisure pursuits, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

Internally, the accommodation is entered via a generous and welcoming entrance hallway, featuring a solid wooden staircase. Currently arranged by the owners to incorporate a dining area, this versatile space could equally lend itself to a comfortable seating area. A particular highlight of the home is the extended section, which provides a spacious games room linked to the kitchen, master bedroom with ensuite and a stunning sunroom with vaulted ceiling, exposed wooden beams and French doors opening onto the garden. The games room is further enhanced by a wood-burning stove set on a marble hearth. The impressive kitchen has been fitted with an excellent range of quality cabinets, integrated appliances and a central island unit offering additional storage. A large, fully shelved pantry provides further practical space. Off the kitchen, a side entrance leads to an additional vestibule/boot room, offering a further access point to the property. The utility room is positioned close to the kitchen and includes appliances, with an exterior door giving additional access to the rear of the property. The ground floor master bedroom is fitted with opposing built-in wardrobes and benefits from a beautiful en-suite with walk-in shower and separate bath. There is also a further reception room with a gas fire set within an attractive fireplace, as well as an additional room currently arranged as an office/snug, but equally suitable for use as a bedroom. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a shower room featuring a striking stained-glass window.

The staircase from the entrance hall ascends to the first floor landing, which provides access to three further bedrooms, all enjoying stunning views over the surrounding countryside. There is also a separate, modern fitted WC room. Excellent storage is available throughout both the ground and upper floors.

Externally, the property is accessed via gates leading to a spacious gravel driveway with ample parking and turning space. The detached garage features remote-controlled up-and-over doors, power, lighting and water, with a separate workshop/outhouse to the rear.

The generous garden grounds are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs, while a rear deck with hot tub provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining. A 45ft polytunnel and adjoining stables offer excellent opportunities for gardening or equestrian use, with adjoining fields extending beyond the formal garden.

The property benefits from oil-fired central heating, an air source heat pump providing underfloor heating and radiators, double glazing throughout, mains water and private drainage.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all this exceptional home has to offer. EPC rating: E. Council tax band: D, Tenure: Freehold,
