A charming country house dating back to 1850 and designed by the renowned architect John Smith, linked to the Royal family, goes on sale through leading property consultancy Galbraith.

The property has four reception rooms, five bedrooms and excellent outbuildings including a wonderful log cabin / summerhouse with terrace.

Designed by renowned Aberdeenshire architect John Smith, whose work included commissions undertaken at Balmoral, Waterton House presents a commanding front elevation and boasts spectacular panoramic views across the stunning gardens stretching to some 1.5 acres, including an orchard, small burn with ornamental bridge, and mature trees.

On entering the house, a beautiful hard wood door with stained glass panels opens into a vestibule with attractive mosaic tiling and provides a taste of what the rest of the house has to offer inside. The reception hall is particularly impressive with its herringbone oak flooring and in the large dining room, a sash and case bay window with working shutters frames the garden beautifully.

With four reception rooms and five bedrooms in total, the accommodation on offer is vast. Retaining many original features and incorporating stylish interiors including log burners to create cosy informal rooms, the décor has been well thought out. Two of the five double bedrooms enjoy a front facing aspect and take advantage of the garden views.

In complete contrast to the external look of the period Tudor house is a modern timber garden cabin. This offers an impressive outdoor entertainment and dining space under the covered cooking and seating area as well as being in a beautiful position to enjoy the garden year-round throughout the changing seasons.

Hilary Murray, handling the sale for Galbraith in Aberdeen, said: “The current owners of Waterton House have tastefully created a family home to relax and enjoy to the fullest. It really is a special home both inside, with a wealth of accommodation and original features throughout, as well as outside with the beautiful gardens and trendy log cabin offering a brilliant space for some alfresco dining and entertaining.

“There is a good degree of privacy offered within the grounds, yet the location offers easy access to a wealth of local amenities. Located in the highly desirable area of Ellon, this sale presents a fantastic opportunity for a family to put down roots and enjoy country living with all the day to day modern luxuries in an outstanding traditional family home.”

Waterton house is located just to the outskirts of Ellon. The town is a thriving country town on the banks of the River Ythan situated midway between Aberdeen and Peterhead and only 15 miles from Aberdeen Airport. There are ample shopping, sports and recreational facilities with excellent local amenities.

Waterton House, Ellon, Aberdeenshire is for sale through Galbraith for offers over £700,000.
