Within close proximity, to both the city centre and the University, this self-contained three bedroom double upper flat forms part of a traditional granite building. The local area hosts a wealth of amenities and shops including the Berryden and Kittybrewster retail parks, and a 24 hour gym, as well as easy access to the business centres in the north of the city, and Aberdeen Airport. 

This property has recently been refreshed with stylish flooring and neutral décor throughout with spacious rooms, en-suite bathroom and exclusive patio area split over two floors. 

With fantastic natural light shining through into modern facilities, a home in the city centre certainly doesn’t have to be cramped. You can capture the homeliness of the suburbs whilst only a stone’s throw from the bustling centre.

This property is price around £185,000. You can view it on the ASPC website at https://www.aspc.co.uk/search/property/348827/17-Powis-Terrace/Aberdeen/

Further Afield

If the bright lights of the city centre aren’t for you, heading out a bit further afield certainly won’t break the bank, nor leave you feeling isolated. That sweet point of perfect quiet and convenience isn’t hard to find in the outer areas of Aberdeenshire, with transport to the city being plentiful.  

This three bed semi-detached is situated within the popular residential area of Stoneywood. North of the City near Great Northern Road, this property is located with easy commuting links to the city centre meaning despite its peaceful location, there are plenty amenities nearby. The property is bright and spacious and well decorated with modern finishes. Split over two floors it also benefits from triple glazing, gas central heating and contemporary décor. 

The front facing lounge is bathed in natural light, complemented by its dark coloured floors and a gas fire for cosy nights. With two alcoves fitted with low level cupboards, there is plenty of storage space leaving room for your own furniture.  

Building your family home outside of the city means you’re more likely to get some extra space for your budget. Properties like this one benefit from large lawn space both at the front and rear, for you to raise your own shrubs, or create into your own perfect tranquil spot. A driveway also provides off road parking for several cars, and a large patio area is the ideal space for alfresco dining or entertaining.
