Torburn HouseTorryburn, Kintore, Aberdeenshire, AB51 0XP

Torburn House is a spacious, modern family home in a private setting in the delightful village of Kintore. The property was built by the sellers in 2000 in a former walled garden and offers versatile accommodation on two floors including three reception rooms, a sun room, five bedrooms, two with en suites and a double garage. There is excellent storage throughout the property. The original wall from the former walled garden and the Torryburn, a small burn flowing at the bottom of the garden, are special features of the property.

Torburn House is the first property on a no through private road and is approached along a tarred drive with ample parking adjacent to the front door and the garage. The timber frame, harled block home has a tiled roof. Steps lead to the part glazed front door and into the vestibule with glazed doors to the L shaped hall. Most of the internal doors are glazed allowing natural light to flow through the property.

The property is ideal for family life and entertaining with a formal dining room and sitting room as well as an open plan kitchen/family room/sun room. The sitting room is a spacious room with a bay window and a gas fire with marble surround and wooden mantel makes a fine focal point. The adjacent dining room is a well proportioned room with a chandelier and matching wall light.

The family room/dining room is open plan with the kitchen, has French doors to the sun room and a door to the formal dining room.

The kitchen was upgraded in 2018 by North East Kitchens. The German-made cabinetry includes an array of storage wall units and a central island with sitting space at one end. Neff appliances include a five ring gas hob, double ovens- one of which is also a microwave and steamer with a warming drawer underneath, integrated dishwasher, integrated tall fridge and separate tall freezer. From the kitchen a door leads to the utility room which has a useful larder cupboard and doors to a gardener's WC, the garden and the garage.

The sun room was built in May 2019 and is a wonderful addition to the home with a welcoming wood burning stove and sliding doors to the garden.

The L shaped hall continues to access a large study with fitted bookcase and desk with two additional shelved cupboards providing ample storage. There is a spacious downstairs en suite guest bedroom. This bedroom has a lovely aspect out to the back garden and a large fitted wardrobe with hanging and shelf space. The en suite has a bath and separate shower. Adjacent to the study, the hall leads past an understairs coat cupboard, the airing cupboard with hot water tank and a cloakroom with WC, wash basin and hanging cupboard.

The staircase leads up to a spacious landing which has been used as a sitting area and work space. There is a large window with views to Tuach Hill and a good sized fitted cupboard. Bedroom three is adjacent. Each of the bedrooms has fitted, mirrored wardrobes with ample hanging and shelved space. The principal bedroom has a deep fitted wardrobe and en suite shower room. The landing continues past the family bathroom which has a shower over a bath. There is a large linen cupboard.

A door on the landing leads to a cinema room/studio which has a large Velux window and could serve a number of purposes. The studio room leads to a small hall with identical bedrooms four & five either side and a shower room in between. Bedrooms four & five are both dual aspect.

There is a large floored loft.

A fantastic feature of the house is the mature garden with herbaceous borders and climbing fruit trees against the beautiful backdrop of the old wall of the former walled garden.

The Torryburn which flows along the bottom of the garden is a wonderful feature and attracts a plethora of wildlife including dippers, kingfishers and heron.

There is also a climbing rose and honeysuckle at the back of the house.
