Lakewood, Mintlaw, Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, AB42 5JS

Just a stone throw from the picturesque Pitfour Lake, this truly exceptional five-bedroom home offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and countryside charm. Built by the current owner with meticulous attention to detail, every element of the property has been thoughtfully designed to create a space that is both stylish and highly practical for modern living.

From the moment you step inside, the sense of space and light is unmistakable. A bright vestibule with tall feature windows leads into a welcoming hallway, beautifully finished with herringbone flooring that flows seamlessly throughout much of the ground floor.

Double doors open into the lounge – a wonderfully inviting space where natural light floods through a large picture window. The room centres around a striking feature wall with multi-fuel stove and wall-mounted TV, while the décor strikes the perfect balance between contemporary elegance and cosy warmth, making it ideal for both relaxing evenings and entertaining guests.

At the heart of the home lies the showpiece kitchen. With its central island incorporating the sink, bespoke cabinetry, and a beautifully crafted drinks station with glass shelving and underlighting, it delivers both function and flair. The adjoining dining space easily accommodates a large table and additional seating area, with vast sliding doors that frame garden views and open directly onto the patio – creating a seamless flow between indoors and out.

The ground floor also offers two versatile bedrooms – one with built-in storage, currently styled as a child’s room, and another with a striking navy feature wall, currently serving as a chic home office. A stylish shower room with marble flooring and black-framed enclosure adds a further touch of luxury.

Practicality is well catered for with a utility room leading into the outstanding garage, a space large enough for multiple vehicles. Above the garage is a converted loft room, currently used as a bright and airy gym, with windows on either side.

The staircase rises to a light-filled landing, enhanced by a striking full-height feature window to the rear. Upstairs, the master suite is nothing short of a retreat – a beautifully proportioned room with soaring ceilings, Velux windows, and a wall of glazing to the front. It flows effortlessly into a dedicated dressing room and a stylish en-suite shower room finished in soft natural tones.

Three further bedrooms, all generously sized with excellent storage, provide ideal family accommodation, while the luxurious family bathroom – complete with freestanding bath, separate shower, and elegant marble flooring – completes the first floor.

Externally, the property is equally impressive. To the rear, a landscaped garden with lawn and patio areas leads to a raised seating space, perfect for summer evenings with friends and family. A public path behind the garden provides direct access to the scenic walks around Pitfour Lake. To the front, a vast driveway offers parking for several vehicles alongside a large lawn framed by mature planting for privacy.
