Positioned at the front of the property, the lounge is of generous proportions.  A large window overlooks the front garden to a green area beyond and the room features a woodburning stove set on a slate hearth.

A door connects the lounge to a delightful snug nestled between the lounge, dining kitchen and sunroom/garden room.

Location

The picturesque Deeside village of Aboyne holds an enviable position in the beautiful Dee Valley and has a good range of shops and cafes, primary and secondary schooling and leisure facilities including an active theatre and community centre. With the Aberdeen Bypass provides a fast link to the north and south of the city travelling times from Aboyne to Dyce Airport, Westhill and Stonehaven have been significantly reduced making Aboyne an even more attractive proposition for commuters.

The area is popular with outdoor enthusiasts and is particularly attractive to walkers and cyclists with the Deeside Way passing through the village and its close proximity to Glen Tanar Estate and the Cairngorms National Park. The ski centres of Glenshee and the Lecht are within a short travelling distance, making winter sports easily accessible. There is an 18-hole golf course in Aboyne, water sports at Aboyne Loch and a nearby gliding club. During the summer in addition to the Aboyne Games there are the popular Highland Games in nearby Ballater and Braemar, while the Lonach Gathering takes place in Strathdon every August. Aberdeenshire is renowned for its clean air and quality of life with fragrant pinewoods, open moorland, traditional farming and good old Highland hospitality. Fishing and field sports are also popular and widely available in the vicinity.
