Substantial Granite Family Home in Sought-After Ferryhill

Located in the highly desirable area of Ferryhill, this deceptively spacious, traditional granite property was designed by renowned architect John Ross McMillan, who was influenced by the Arts & Crafts style. Offering generous and versatile accommodation across four floors, this exceptional five-bedroom family home combines period charm with modern comfort. Well maintained and beautifully presented by the current owners, the property benefits from gas central heating and is within easy walking distance of Aberdeen City Centre.

The lower floor features a spacious garden room, which can also serve as a fifth bedroom, with patio doors opening directly onto the private rear garden—ideal for indoor-outdoor living. A practical utility room is also located on this level, offering additional storage and convenient direct access to the rear garden.

On the ground floor, the property is accessed via an entrance vestibule featuring the original front door with attractive leaded glass panels. The entrance to the hallway is further enhanced by a glazed surround, allowing natural light to flow through the space. The welcoming hall provides access to the upper floors via a staircase. The elegant lounge overlooks the front of the property and boasts attractive solid wood flooring, a decorative picture rail, and a gas fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

To the rear lies a spacious and well-appointed dining kitchen, truly the heart of the home and an ideal space for entertaining. With two windows overlooking the garden, the room is flooded with natural light. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of base and wall units, complemented by coordinating work surfaces and a tiled splashback. The Aga, American-style fridge freezer, and integrated oven will all remain as part of the sale. Completing the ground floor is a contemporary shower room, finished to a high standard, featuring a large walk-in shower, a stylish vanity sink unit, and an ‘old-style’ radiator and WC.

Proceeding to the first floor, there are three further generously sized double bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys attractive views over the rear garden and benefits from built-in storage. Bedroom two is particularly bright, featuring three front-facing windows along with built-in storage space, while bedroom three is also well-proportioned, offering ample space for freestanding furniture. A well-proportioned shower room completes this floor, featuring a large shower cubicle with recessed lighting, a modern vanity sink unit, and an illuminated mirror, creating a bright and contemporary space.

On the top floor, the hall provides an ideal area for home working or study. Bedroom four is bright and spacious, featuring painted floorboards and ample room for freestanding furniture. The bathroom is accessed via a space-saving pocket door and comprises a bath, wall-mounted sink, recessed shelving, illuminated mirror, and WC. A Velux window allows natural light to fill the room, which also houses the boiler.

Situated within a designated Conservation Area, the property benefits from a mix of single, double, and triple glazing, along with gas central heating (boiler installed approximately three years ago).

Externally, the front of the property features a small garden area planted with mature shrubs. To the rear, the fully enclosed garden offers a safe and secure environment, ideal for both children and pets. Bounded by a traditional granite wall, the garden is tiered and includes a lawn area, well-stocked planted borders, and a plum tree. The garden shed will remain as part of the sale. Parking is available by permit on street.

Devanha Gardens West is a peaceful and highly regarded residential address within the popular Ferryhill area of Aberdeen. The property is well placed for a wide range of local amenities, reputable schools and excellent public transport links, while Aberdeen city centre is easily accessible. The nearby Duthie Park and renowned Winter Gardens offer superb recreational facilities, and the Old Deeside railway line provides attractive walking and cycling routes.
