A detached home currently used for multi generational living set in about 10 acres with wonderful countryside views across to Hatton of Fintray and beyond. Stable block, car port and barn. Built in the mid 1800s as a woodcutter's cottage, Woodlands Croft was extensively enlarged and renovated in the 1990s and again around 2010. In an idyllic setting above the River Don, the old Aberdeenshire canal runs along the base of the Don Valley as part of the outlook. Deceptively spacious, the configuration is incredibly versatile; the property has been extended and adapted to create a home which is currently used for multi-generational living. Internally, flooring includes the extensive use of maple wood, tiled floors and hard surface flooring. Much thought and creation has been given to the use of patio doors, fixed windows and French doors to maximise natural light and take advantage of the picturesque setting. The Stables Wing has a splendid open plan area which is very much the heart of the home. A sitting room with turreted roof, curved bay window and French doors takes advantage of the outdoor setting. A focal point of the room is the Boru stove set in a stone fireplace. A peninsula breakfast bar separates the open plan dining kitchen. The kitchen is kitted out with a comprehensive range of pine base and wall cabinets with open end display shelves. Appliances include an integrated and concealed refrigerator and dishwasher, built in hob and oven. There is ample space for a dining table and chairs with a picture window over the front driveway. For everyday domestic tasks there is a particularly generous utility room which is fitted with a range of modern base and wall units; it is an ideal space for outdoor clothing and equipment and has plumbing for an automatic washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. This room is finished with flagstone flooring and sliding patio doors for easy outdoor access. Ascending to the first floor is a carpeted stair up to an L shaped landing. With wonderful views is the principal bedroom with French doors to a balcony overlooking the river. Bedroom two has a wash basin in a vanity unit. Adjacent is a bathroom with three piece white suite, mixer cradle shower over bath and tiling to dado height. Offering a lovely retreat space is the superb garden room with sliding doors to a Juliet balcony offering wonderful views.

En suite to this room is a modern wet room with mains Mira shower and wash basin in a vanity unit. The garden room, wet room and bedrooms offer level access to the grassed area at the rear of the property and could be developed as living space for someone with limited ability.
