7 Hallwood, Finzean, Banchory, Aberdeenshire, AB31 6LW

Substantial five-bedroom family home set within a generous woodland-backed plot in a small executive development, just a short drive from Banchory.

Set in the heart of Royal Deeside, this impressive detached property occupies an enviable position within a small development of quality homes, offering privacy, space and a true rural setting while remaining within easy reach of the popular towns of Banchory and Aboyne. The nearby village also benefits from a well-regarded primary school and nursery, making it an attractive setting for families.

Thoughtfully designed for modern family living, the standout feature of the home is the bright open-plan kitchen, dining and family space positioned at the rear of the property – a superb social hub with double-height windows and bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden and patio. The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of cabinets and integrated appliances, complemented by a central island ideal for informal dining. A wood-burning stove provides a warm focal point to the family area.

A separate formal lounge offers a quieter living space and also features a wood-burning stove. The ground floor further benefits from a spacious bedroom suite with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room, providing excellent flexibility for guests, multigenerational living or home working. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs there is a generous master bedroom with en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobes, along with three further well-proportioned double bedrooms, all benefiting from built-in storage. A family bathroom fitted with bath and separate shower completes the first floor.

Externally, the property is accessed via a gated driveway providing ample parking and turning space, along with a detached double garage with twin doors. The garden grounds surround the property and feature extensive south and east-facing lawns allowing sun throughout the day. To the rear, a large paved patio accessed from the family room provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the mature woodland backdrop creates a peaceful and private setting.

The property benefits from air source central heating with underfloor heating on the ground floor. It is connected to a mains water supply with drainage via a shared sewage treatment plant. A factor manages the development with an annual fee of approximately £600, and residents also enjoy access to additional woodland and amenity land nearby.

Properties of this style and setting rarely become available in the area and early viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the space, setting and quality of accommodation on offer.
