Beautifully situated in a quiet residential area of the picturesque Highland village of Ballater, in the heart of Royal Deeside and around 40 miles west of Aberdeen, Greenwood is a substantial and superbly well-equipped property offering luxury accommodation for up to eight people in four comfortable bedrooms.

Originally constructed around 30 years ago, Greenwood has recently benefited from a comprehensive refurbishment and has been upgraded to the highest standard with the very best furniture and fittings. Entirely on one level, the house is surrounded by lovely, mature gardens that provide privacy for guests and security for pets. There is ample parking in a private driveway, and even an EV charging point.

Greenwood’s generous proportions make it the ideal destination for a large family or group of friends. The heart of the house is the spacious lounge, a bright and welcoming space with windows on three sides, yet also a cosy retreat in the evenings thanks to its wood-burning stove and large smart TV. This room has plenty of comfortable seating, stylish craft-made occasional furniture, and a desk.

The kitchen/dining room leads off from the main entrance hall, again featuring large windows that flood the space with natural light. The substantial dining table seats eight with ease, while a breakfast bar provides an option for more casual meals and smaller groups. Major kitchen appliances are all of the highest quality, including a large fridge/freezer, dishwasher, oven, combi microwave, and induction hob. A full range of smaller appliances is also provided, as well as a wall-mounted television. A wine fridge adds another luxurious touch. The adjacent utility/laundry/cloakroom offers a washing machine, dryer, sink, and plenty of storage space for outdoor clothing and footwear.

All four bedrooms are lovely. Two feature super-king-size beds, one of which can be split into two singles if preferred. Two bedrooms are en-suite, while the other two bedrooms share the family bathroom. All beds have vi-sprung mattresses and bases, guaranteeing comfort.

Outside, there is a large double garage, one side of which is available for storing bikes and other equipment. The garage also contains barbecue equipment available for guests. The fully enclosed rear garden is mostly lawned and features several seating areas, including one ideal for family dining when the weather permits. Additionally, there is an attractive sunken patio at the front of the house, with direct access via a door from the lounge.

This exceptional property is furnished and finished throughout to the highest standards. Set in an area rich in history, with excellent transport links and surrounded by natural beauty, Greenwood truly ticks all the boxes.
