56 Abbey Road, Old Torry

This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase an impressive semi-detached traditional Fisherman's Cottage set well back from Abbey Road behind a red brick wall with seven further cottages in what is the last remaining road of the Old Torry fishing community.

The charming cottage has lots of character and was fully renovated in 2020 by the present owners. This included not only the cottage itself but restocking the garden with mature trees and shrubs, adding new paths and fences and decorative walls as well as a summer house added in 2023.

The surprisingly spacious home provides excellent accommodation spanning two floors and offers quality finishings and fittings throughout.

It comprises of spacious lounge with wood burner, fitted modern kitchen and diner including the following integrated appliances, fridge/freezer, second freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, double electric oven, gas hob as well as bespoke splash backs and a built-in large storage seat in the dining area. Study/single bedroom fitted with bespoke bookshelves. A three-piece bathroom with a rainwater shower over the bath. Upstairs is two large bedrooms with bespoke integrated storage. Each bedroom has further accessible storage within the eaves and at the top of the stairs there are two further storage areas again easily accessed under the eaves. Practical attributes include double glazing, gas central heating, security lights and outside electrical sockets in both gardens and the summer house which has lighting and electrical sockets.

Externally there are two magical private gardens filled with plants, shrubs and trees and in the back garden there is a summer house. At the end of the row of cottages there is a communal garden area shared by the eight cottages.

There is ample parking in Abbey Road itself, but the cottage comes with its own private parking space accessed by car from Abbey Place and into the cottage by the back garden gate. There are two small outbuildings for number 56 in front of the cottages.

The location: It is a thriving community, and the cottage is a 10-minute walk to Grey Hope allotments overlooking the sea (available for rental) and a further five minutes' walk on to the historic Torry Battery where the Grey Hope Centre is situated with the only off grid cafe in Aberdeen, and which incorporates the Dolphin Watch Educational Centre. Here we have the best views of Aberdeen city, coast, harbour and of course the visiting dolphins. New plans have recently been passed to develop an exhibition/gallery space at the Battery.

Nigg Bay golf club is a 10-minute walk away also enjoying spectacular views from the course.

Old Tory community Centre is less than a minute from the cottage with classes for adults and children. Local shops including/bakery/takeaway/small supermarket/public library are seven minutes' walk away. There is a choice of primary schools, including both a new primary and a new secondary. There are a variety of bus routes close by to the cottage. Union Square shopping centre with major retailers, restaurants, cafes, multiplex cinema and both bus and railway station are situated in the centre less than 20 minutes walking distance.

Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this immaculately presented home.
