Set amid beautifully maintained garden grounds and mature woodland, Green Den is a striking colonial style five bedroom detached residence built of solid sandstone by the renowned Kincardineshire architect, George Gregory. The current owners are a young and growing family and the configuration is very versatile and equally suited for a mature family as the property can also be adapted for a single storey living if required. Throughout 2021 and 2022 there has been extensive refurbishment and restoration of the property whilst ensuring the charm and character has remained intact. The property has been entirely replumbed and extensively rewired. All ten chimneys have been capped and swept. The paintwork is from Farrow & Ball using shades sympathetic to those of the 1900s, and two of the period style fireplaces are home to log burners. A host of original features include stained glass windows, panelled doors, moulded ceilings, ornate fireplaces, picture rails, deep skirting boards, servants' bells (all working), original flooring and chunky column radiators.

A solid timber door with glass side panels leads into the entrance vestibule which features original mosaic flooring. A partially lead and stained glass door leads into the welcoming reception hall which has a wonderful period ambience. An opening with wooden balustrades and split level stair leads up to the utterly charming sitting room which overlooks the front garden from a large bay window. Bringing the outdoors in are French doors opening out to the delightful verandah beyond. Central to this room is the fireplace with log burner. Overlooking the driveway via a double picture window, this generously proportioned reception room can work as a formal dining room or alternatively as a more casual relaxing space. The central focal point of the sitting room is the fireplace with further log burner. A set of slimline doors with stained glass panels leads from here into the inviting sun room, which enjoys views over the rear garden and has external access to the driveway. A butler's pantry has a serving hatch into the kitchen and is mostly used today as boot room space. Generous in proportions is a utility room plumbed for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer, floor mounted recently replaced boiler and ample space for refrigeration and freezers. The former coal store is used for additional storage and gives garden access. The cheerful dining kitchen features a recently fitted range of base, drawer, wall and glass fronted cabinets. Integrated and concealed is a larder style refrigerator and dishwasher. Two pantry cupboards provide further storage space. At the heart of the kitchen is an Everhot four oven range programmable cooker in Racing Green. An elongated inner hallway with partially glazed door provides access to the side garden and brining natural light into this area. The principal bedroom enjoys rear courtyard and side garden aspects while the en suite bathroom with freestanding rolltop bath and Art Deco style oversized shower can also be accessed from the hallway. Overlooking the lawned front garden via a polygonal corner tower is bedroom two which is full of character and rich in period features. Cabinetry and bookshelves surround a beautiful stained glass window. A lovely reading nook is situated beside a traditional mahogany fireplace. Adjacent is a cloakroom with WC and wash basin. Bedroom three completes the ground floor and is located next to the main bathroom which includes a freestanding claw foot rolltop bath with over-bath shower, WC and wash basin. A concealed and carpeted staircase from the inner hall leads to the first floor landing which overlooks the front garden via a deep silled window. Bedrooms four and five are serviced by a main bathroom with white suite and electric over-bath shower. The extensive recreational room is a superbly versatile space with dual aspect windows to the front and rear. It features a raised platform which is ideal for entertaining or display space. An internal door leads into the spacious floored loft with two skylights.
