Balconies are versatile additions to any home, providing a great external space for relaxing. They add a welcome touch of variety to a property and can be styled into a chic dining space, mini potted garden or both. Take a look at these three inviting properties with interesting balconies each with scenic views.

Spoilt for choice - £497,500

This four-bedroomed house is situated in the popular suburb of Cults and has stunning uninterrupted views over the River Dee from both the balcony and an elevated patio. The balcony provides a covered seating area, meaning you’re sheltered no matter what the weather. This relaxing spot is finished with eye-catching honeycomb decking and bright furniture, and overlooks the Dee valley. The elevated patio provides a larger space set on traditional decking, ideal for dining and light gardening.

Golden landscape views - £385,000

A former bakery, this attractive four-bedroomed property is based in the village of Echt and has abundant architectural interest throughout. Bi-folding doors, artificial grass and sweeping farmland views give this balcony its wow-factor. Accessed via the lounge, this unique spot would be the perfect space for hosting celebrations and family gatherings, or simply watching the sunset over the surrounding rolling countryside.

Large and leafy landscape - £325,000

This spacious six-bedroomed home lies in the quiet Deeside village of Strachan, close to Banchory, and boasts an impressive sun room as well as two balconies!

The balconies can be accessed through the lounge, dining room and sun room providing expansive landscape views from multiple vantage points in the property. We love the inside-outside feel and the varied alfresco dining opportunities this home provides.
