Old Aberdeen is a hidden gem in the northeast. A small town that was independent from Aberdeen between 1489 and 1891, Old Aberdeen, situated on the northern edge of the city of Aberdeen, is largely a conservation area, and retains a wonderful sense of history and an intriguing mixture of architecture. It is rich in historic buildings: some, like St Machar’s Cathedral, date from the Middle Ages, and there are many period buildings of the 18th to early 19th centuries, mostly built in the local grey granite. The King’s College campus of the University of Aberdeen is in Old Aberdeen and within walking distance of the property. Seaton Park, with its hidden walled garden and numerous riverside walks, is within minutes of the property and a wide range of wildlife can be seen there including ducks, swans, herons, otters, seals, red squirrels, and deer. The Donmouth beach is also nearby.
Situated relatively near to a main arterial route with an excellent local bus service, you are minutes from Aberdeen city centre which provides the amenities one expects of a modern city. There is a range of educational and recreational facilities and extensive indoor and outdoor activities all near the property. As well as the excellent bus services within the city, there are good links by air, rail and international flights being provided from Dyce International Airport.
