East Craigiecatt is a stunning eco-friendly house set on the top of a hill with commanding views across miles of farmland and rolling countryside. It is set in approximately 15 acres of enclosed, gated land which would give peace of mind to allow children and pets to play freely and safely outdoors. Ideal for family gatherings and celebrations, the house can easily accommodate large groups of people and has been designed and finished to an exceptional standard throughout. Even on cold, dull days, the house is extremely bright and warm due to the care and thought put in to its design by the owners.
The large, fully equipped kitchen with AGA, traditional terracotta tiled flooring and underfloor heating with a large oak dining table is the hub of the house. There is a separate large pantry for food storage and a substantial utility room which is ideal for storing fishing equipment if you have been out fishing on the nearby River Cowie or Carron. The beautiful living room contains quality, comfortable sofas in which to totally relax with a large flat screened TV where you can enjoy the cosy open fire whilst watching a DVD or playing a board game. The central atrium area of the house is a unique sunspace where the French doors open to the front and back, creating a sense of having the "outside inside" which is perfect for BBQ's if some shelter is required. There is a large paved area where informal tennis can be played and also a basketball hoop and board. The large garden itself is like one big adventure playground for children to explore and play and adults to walk. In addition, there is an upstairs separate "games room" for teenagers or children to congregate and have their own space away from the adults. Above the garage there is also space with full sized table tennis, full size pool table, weights, exercise bike, step machine and turbo trainer – perfect for those who don’t want to miss a workout during their holiday.
Netherley is a hidden gem in Aberdeenshire which has so much to offer for those who may wish to enjoy a peaceful, rural retreat but also give the opportunity to enjoy city amenities, should it be required. It is in close proximity to Aberdeen with all the usual city facilities just a 30 minute drive away. East Craigiecatt has the best of both worlds: a peaceful, tranquil location that is easily accessible to the attractions in the city.
