Broomfold Mill, Torphins, Banchory, Aberdeenshire, AB31

Set within grounds extending to approximately 2.5 acres this impressive architecturally bespoke five bedroom home was designed by Robb Keir Design and built to high standards by AJC Construction.

Externally the property is built from granite with the modern extension being larch clad, seamlessly blending the old and new.On the ground floor the striking living room features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and an attractive, central wood burning stove. Roof windows and full height picture windows capture the surrounding views of the neighbouring hill of Benaquhallie and further afield towards Lochnagar and Mount Keen.

The kitchen area is fitted with an excellent range of quality cabinets, granite worktops and integrated appliances. The bedroom wing (with hallway and bespoke oak staircase to the master suite) incorporates three good sized double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, and a well appointed family bathroom.
