Manilla, 10 William Street, Torphins, Banchory, Aberdeenshire, AB31 4FR

Summary details

Situated in a highly sought after location in the popular Royal Deeside village of Torphins, we are delighted to offer for sale this substantial period detached four bedroom granite home. Located in a tranquil, tree lined street in the centre of the village, Manilla offers spacious accommodation and has been beautifully maintained and decorated by the current owners to an exceptionally high standard. Occupying impressive landscaped garden grounds, this traditional south facing property retains many of its period features including original pine doors, moulded ceiling cornicing and roses, deep skirtings, picture rails, traditional fireplaces with inset wood burning stoves and large bay windows overlooking the gardens. Of historic note, the older houses on this side of William Street are reputed to be designed with the front facing south on to the railway so that Queen Victoria would not have to look at the back of the properties as she passed. This ensures that the house and garden are bathed in sunshine and light. Manilla enjoys beautiful landscaped garden grounds. Accessed from William Street, the rear garden provides parking for several cars enclosed with hedge screening. There is a selection of granite outbuildings including a former bothy, single garage and coal shed. These could be converted to provide additional accommodation subject to obtaining local planning consents. The south facing front garden provides a high degree of privacy. It is mainly laid to lawn with borders stocked with an abundance of mature trees, shrubs and stone chipped paths. To fully enjoy the garden there are several areas for outdoor living including a paved patio area that features a rotating, glass garden pod which will remain as part of the sale. Internally the accommodation comprises entrance hallway, lounge with informal seating/media area, open plan kitchen/dining/family room, rear hall, cloakroom with utility area. On the mezzanine level there is a shower/wet room. Upstairs has a master bedroom with impressive ensuite bathroom, two further double bedrooms, a fourth bedroom which currently serves as a home office. The property is served by gas central heating and benefits from double glazed windows and doors. This is a truly special property and seldom does the opportunity arise to acquire a period property of this standard on one of the most sought after streets in Torphins. We therefore recommend early enquiries to avoid disappointment.
