Of traditional design the charming detached granite built cottage was extended in 2014 with a substantial timber framed, and clad, extension to the rear.
There are 3 reception rooms, including a new and fully equipped kitchen/living room and bathroom/wc with an electric shower over the bath on the ground floor. Upstairs there are 2 comfortable bedrooms ( one double and 1 twin ) and another bathroom/wc with separate shower.
The 2014 extension and the complete renovation carried out to the original cottage in 2011 now afford a lovely holiday home in this most idyllic location overlooking the River Dee.
Aberdeen Cottage enjoys an enviable location, not just for its views in all directions, but also for its accessibility into the Cairngorm mountains and to the coast with its delightful and picturesque harbour villages like Stonehaven.
