Blairmaud is a most attractive traditional stone-built villa which sits in a leafy street within the desirable northeast coastal town of Stonehaven. This handsome detached house, which has been recently upgraded and redecorated in calm, natural tones, is arranged over two floors and extends to around 3,060 sq ft of living accommodation, including a completely self-contained annexe. Blairmaud is now a hugely appealing home with a lovely, warm atmosphere making it ideal for relaxed everyday living as well as more formal entertaining.

The house is set back from the road and approached through the front garden into a vestibule with an original tiled floor. This leads into a welcoming hallway with a polished stripped wooden floor, off which are all the main living spaces. There are three reception rooms: a sitting room, living room and dining room, featuring fireplaces and large windows (some with delicate leadwork) allowing plenty of natural light. The bright and sunny kitchen has room for a breakfast table and is fitted with classic-style cabinetry in historic cream and an integrated electric hob and oven. Also on the ground floor is a bathroom, utility room and recently installed dog shower. Completing this level is a conservatory which looks out onto the garden.

Upstairs are four good sized double bedrooms, some with in-built wardrobes, and Bedroom 5 which is currently used as an office. All have excellent views and are served by a contemporary shower room.

A stand out feature of Blairmaud is the completely self-contained and immaculately presented annexe apartment which forms the east wing of the house. The apartment comprises a generous dining kitchen (which matches the main kitchen in style), living room and double bedroom with en suite bathroom. The apartment has its own external entrance, making it ideal for short term lets (subject to acquiring the appropriate licence) or, as it is all on the ground floor, for accessible, multi-generational living.

Outside: The gardens at Blairmaud are a delight, incorporating mature trees, expanses of lawn, a paved terrace just a few steps below the conservatory and a small pond. A pretty summerhouse is a charming place to sit out. There is also a garage/workshop.
