Description
**Summary**
128 Desswood Place is a semi detached family home on a prestigious street in
Aberdeen’s West End. This is the first time the property has come to the
market for 42 years. It was built in the 1890s of granite and slate and sits
on a corner site with lanes running along the west and north boundaries. In
good order throughout, the property may benefit from some modernisation. There
is a mature colourful walled garden and a garage at the rear.
**Accommodation**
The original, imposing front door with stained glass windows either side opens
to the spacious vestibule which has the original tiled floor, large glazed
panelling to the hall and a part glazed door. The welcoming hall has a
sweeping staircase with ornate pine banister and balustrade, an understairs
cloakroom and cupboard.
The elegant sitting room has an abundance of period features including a large
south facing bay window, two arched shelved alcoves flanking the open fire
which has an ornate wooden mantelpiece, marble surround and slate hearth, a
cornice and deep skirting.
The dining room is dual aspect and has a fireplace as a focal point with a
shelved wine cupboard in the alcove. A door leads from the entrance hall to
the snug which opens to the kitchen. The snug has a gas fire with a beautiful
mantlepiece, a shelved alcove and a cupboard. The kitchen has a large west
facing window and a range of fitted units including a corner larder cupboard
and a breakfast bar. There is a gas hob and integrated appliances include a
Neff oven and De Dietrich microwave. The sun porch is off the kitchen which
has a door to the garden.
The first floor landing leads to the bedroom accommodation and the family
bathroom. The principal bedroom has a bay window, wash basin and fitted
wardrobes. Bedroom 2 is dual aspect and has a wash basin and shelved alcove.
Bedroom 3 has a fitted wardrobe and desk. Bedroom 4 is currently used as an

The top floor landing is flooded with natural light from velux windows. On

and bedroom 5 which has far reaching city views.
**Outside**
At the front of the house, there is a low level granite wall and a path
through the front garden with an area of lawn and rose borders. To the west a

and car gate. The car gate is adjacent to the single garage. The rear walled
garden is mostly lawn with mature, herbaceous borders.
