SUMMARY
Tower Wing is a magnificent family home in a peaceful rural location, 12 miles from the centre of Aberdeen. This is the first time the property has come to the market since the building was converted in the early 1990s. It is believed that the imposing pink granite and slate building was designed by renowned architect Archibald Simpson and built as the stable block in 1830 to nearby Durris House. The H shape building comprises four properties in total, with a detached modern home at the rear. Tower Wing has numerous charming features including high ceilings, an open fire and multi aspect rooms with an abundance of natural light. Peaceful, mature grounds surround the property with majestic mature specimen trees and woodland.
