END-TERRACED “B” LISTED GRANITE BUILT COTTAGE ON TWO FLOORS – A DEFINITE “PROJECT” - WITH A SUBSTANTIAL BACK GARDEN FOR POSSIBLE EXTENSION

This granite built cottage is in need of complete refurbishment. The original cottage was subsequently extended to the rear (date unknown) and a substantial back garden gives plenty of room for further development. Much of the interior of the cottage has been completed in a very personal and “off the wall” way. From the titles, it appears that the property or originally the ground on which it stands, was owned by members of the Shipmaster Society of Aberdeen extending back to the early 19^th Century when it was owned by James Jameson “formerly Sailing Master in the Royal Navy at present residing in Hutcheon Street near Aberdeen”. Hutcheon Street is named after Hugh Hutcheon, a Lawyer who owned property in the area and acted as adviser to some owners and Factors for others. The cottage has no central heating. The accommodation comprises, on the ground floor, vestibule, hall, lounge, small library, dining/family room, fitted kitchen, large shower room and conservatory. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and study/work room. A path and gate along the west gable of the house lead to the sheltered fully enclosed back garden, which is overgrown, but which has an array of colourful flowers and trees, just waiting to be tidied up. There are a number of dilapidated outhouses which could be developed.
