A gem of a Listed home in the heart of Old Aberdeen.
Snow Cottage, 29 College Bounds, is a terraced home in the heart of a conservation area in historic Old Aberdeen. This charming property, which dates back to the early 1800s, takes its name from the adjacent historic Snow Kirk of which only the cemetery remains. The B Listed property has been upgraded to 21st century standards and is beautifully presented with neutral décor throughout, a modern kitchen and bathroom. Welcome features include a wood burning stove in the sitting room, parquet flooring throughout much of the ground floor, underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathroom and the mature private garden.
Full of character, this terraced cottage is arranged over two floors. The white solid wood front door with tasteful door furniture leads to the hall which accesses the ground floor accommodation and has a staircase to the first floor. Two windows in the hall bring in natural light. One of two attractive reception spaces is the elegant sitting room which has parquet flooring and is dual aspect with a window overlooking College Bounds and glazed French doors to the garden. A fireplace with wood mantel and slate hearth with log burning stove makes a fine focal point. The adjacent dining room is a lovely space for both entertaining and casual dining. The inviting kitchen has garden views and porcelain floor tiling with underfloor heating. There is a range of fitted base, drawer and wall cabinets with butcher block worktops and a farmhouse style ceramic sink and drainer. Integrated appliances include a Neff fridge freezer, wine fridge and Neff induction hob, double ovens and dishwasher. A larder cupboard and an understairs cupboard provide excellent storage. Off the kitchen is a very useful utility room which has a fitted cupboard with worktop matching the kitchen and a stacked washing machine and tumble drier, the central heating boiler and a door to the back garden.
At the top of the staircase, the bright first floor landing has a hatch to the loft with a Ramsay ladder and there is also a linen cupboard. Bedroom 1 at the far end of the landing is a generously proportioned room with dual aspect and a built in wardrobe. Bedroom 2 is a double room with a lovely outlook over the back garden with built in wardrobe and fitted shelves. Bedroom 3 also overlooks the back garden and has a fitted wardrobe; this room would also make an ideal home office. The bathroom is beautifully appointed with underfloor heating, a heated towel rail and a white three piece suite including a deep bath with a "rainforest" drench shower head and additional shower fitment.
There is a lovely secluded, fully enclosed garden to the rear with a large new shed for added storage. Mature shrubs surround a generous lawn with a barbeque area, perfect for al fresco dining, entertaining or relaxing. There is an outside tap and exterior light and a garden gate allows side access.
