Garden House, BinghillMilltimber, Aberdeenshire, AB13 0JL

Garden House is a hugely impressive contemporary home spanning 4,542 sq ft that sits within the original footprint of an earlier dwelling dating back to around 1975 within a former walled garden. Situated conveniently near the Aberdeen suburb of Milltimber, the property has recently undergone a complete refurbishment which included extending the building and creating a superb ground floor living space. The extension and refurbishment completed in 2024. The current configuration allows for five double bedrooms three of which have luxury en suite facilities. Whilst not en suite an adjacent shower room services bedrooms four and five. Flexibility is in abundance with reception space/guest space or bedrooms. Along with the state-of-the-art dining kitchen/breakfast room/lounge, there is a very useful and well fitted boot room adjacent to the integral garage, which is ideal for outdoor clothing and dealing with dogs. The boot room can also be accessed via an external rear door with additional parking. The house is set within immaculate garden grounds which include two large terraces and a glasshouse.

Approached via a private driveway, the house is entered via a vestibule and hallway off which is an elegant split level oak staircase. A reception hallway allows for a study or versatile living space. The hugely impressive open plan dining kitchen/breakfast room/lounge is the heart of this home. The space flows very naturally and the kitchen features a range of British racing green shaded, minimalist cabinetry and an oversized island for casual dining. There is a separate dining space and a lounge area, all enjoying beautiful views of the garden thanks to multiple bifold patio doors which lead out to the paved garden terrace – a real haven in the summer months. The focal point of this room being the oversized picture window to really bring the feeling of the outdoors in.

Also on the ground floor are two double bedrooms and a luxurious shower room; an inviting sitting room, again with picture window and glass door letting the sunshine in; a snug (which could work as an additional bedroom if desired) and a utility room. Completing this level is the integrated garage and super boot room which is a bonus for dog owners and those keen on outdoor activities.

Upstairs are a further three double bedrooms including the luxurious principal suite with its fabulous views, en suite bathroom with double washbasins and dressing room.

Outside: Approached via a private driveway and secure electric gates, the property is introduced by an expansive tarmacadam courtyard offering extensive parking and turning space. Occupying the former walled garden of a historic estate, the house enjoys a commanding elevated position, surrounded by exquisitely landscaped grounds that have been thoughtfully curated to create a private sanctuary of remarkable beauty.

The gardens are a true highlight of the property, seamlessly blending formal structure with natural charm. Two substantial terraces provide exceptional spaces for outdoor entertaining and peaceful relaxation, each enjoying delightful views across the surrounding grounds. A charming corner water feature attracts an abundance of birds and wildlife, creating a tranquil haven that enhances the sense of seclusion and connection with nature.

At the heart of the garden lies an impressive ornamental pond, complete with an elegant fountain and a unique viewing panel fish tank, forming a captivating focal point amidst the manicured lawns. A distinctive pink gravel pathway gently meanders around the perimeter, inviting leisurely strolls through this enchanting setting.

The garden has been masterfully designed with imagination and foresight to provide year-round interest, colour and texture. Carefully clipped box hedging frames the lawns and planting schemes, lending structure and symmetry, while a rich variety of established shrubs, specimen plantings and seasonal displays ensure an ever-changing landscape that can be appreciated in every season. Enclosed within the original stone walls, the grounds offer an exceptional degree of privacy, creating the atmosphere of a secluded country estate while remaining perfectly suited to modern family living.
