Description

SUMMARY
3 Forest Road is a substantial family home in Aberdeen’s leafy West End. This is the first time the property has come to the market for over 30 years. Built in the 1870s to an individual specification over three floors, using granite from Rubislaw Quarry, the property is in the Albyn Rubislaw Conservation Area. The interiors are tastefully presented thanks to the current seller’s daughter who is an interior designer. The furniture, curtains and light fittings are available separately. The mature gardens to the front and rear have been gardened organically.

ACCOMMODATION
At the front of the house, there is a low level granite wall with ornate iron railing and gate which leads to a crazy paving path through the front garden with an area of lawn and mature borders. The original, imposing front door opens to the spacious vestibule which has a tiled floor and a beautiful stained glass inner door and side panel. The welcoming hall has a sweeping staircase with pine banister and ornate cast iron balustrade and an understairs cupboard with light. The elegant sitting room has an abundance of period features including two shelved alcoves flanking the open fire which has an ornate Carron Ironworks inset, intricate cornice and a large west facing bay window with curved walls either side.

The focal point of the room is the open fire with decorative green Arts and Crafts tiles. Other features include maple flooring, an ornate cornice and panelling to dado height.

The kitchen has a range of fitted units with local granite worktops. There is a Smeg gas hob and double oven and a freestanding American style fridge freezer. The kitchen area opens to the dining room which has a Stovax wood burner in a wooden surround and a stained glass door to the utility room. The utility room has a large larder cupboard and storage cupboard, a Belfast sink and a glazed door to the garden. There is a small stained glass window featuring doves.
