Description

Let me take you on a journey to Aberdeen, in the northern reaches of the United Kingdom, where the tranquil countryside meets a vibrant history and modernity. Nestled in this serene landscape lies Woodlands Croft, a property that beckons those looking for a balance between countryside calm and modern conveniency. This house, resting on the outskirts of Dyce, Aberdeen, is more than just a home; it’s an invitation to a new way of life. As a busy real estate agent, I want to share this gem with prospective homeowners and investors alike, especially those considering a move from overseas.

When you step into Woodlands Croft, you’re stepping into a piece of history. The roots of this house trace back to the mid-1800s, originally crafted as a woodcutter's cottage. Fast forward to the present, and the property has been transformed through renovations in the 1990s and again in 2010, to emerge as a versatile, spacious home. Though not without its quirks, this property carries potential that's waiting to be discovered. The house is in good condition, with room for personal touches, making it a promising opportunity for those willing to invest a little sweat into their dream home.

Imagine living in a setting with 10.5 acres of lush greenery, like something out of a country dream. The River Don nearby sets the stage for scenic views every morning. It's as if nature made this property its canvas, painting layers of picturesque views with each sunrise and sunset. Local wildlife? It's like a live nature show in your backyard, ideal for birdwatchers or anyone who appreciates nature's handiwork.

Let's delve into the features of this remarkable property:

- Five adaptable bedrooms
- Three well-appointed bathrooms
- Extensive equestrian facilities for horse enthusiasts
- A stable block with three loose boxes
- Sand school enclosure perfect for equestrian training
- Spacious and practical kitchen complete with modern appliances
- Generous utility room with flagstone flooring
- Exquisite balcony on the first floor with tranquil views
- Expansive 275 m² living space
- Timber garden shed and mature birch woodland

Living in Aberdeen offers more than just tranquil countrysides. The city of Aberdeen, known as the Granite City due to its pristine architecture, lies just a short drive away. It's not all just pretty sights; the city pulsates with energy, thanks to its bustling cultural scene. Aberdeen hosts numerous arts festivals, international markets, and music events throughout the year. When it comes to the climate, expect the usual Scottish weather mix—cool summers, mild winters, and the occasional drizzly days that make the countryside all the greener.

For those thinking about the day-to-day life, you’ll find Dyce, a neighboring town about 2.5 miles away, offers modern conveniences, from shopping to schools. It has a practical railway station as well as one of the region's key business and industrial hubs. Business travelers will also appreciate the close proximity to Aberdeen International Airport, opening up both international and domestic routes, making this home a strategic choice for expats and frequent flyers.

As for activities, there are plenty to choose from. Whether you're an avid angler, a horse lover, or just someone who enjoys a quiet stroll in nature, the area has something to offer you. The nearby Kirkhill Forest Trails provide perfect escape for hikers and cyclists, and with the River Don right on your doorstep, fishing enthusiasts will find plenty to love as well.

Aberdeen's vibrant economy, fueled by the oil industry, is just one facet of its appeal. Universities, shops, restaurants, and pubs add to the lifestyle, offering a good balance between work and play. So, whether you're an expat seeking a new home base or a lover of the Scottish countryside, Woodlands Croft presents an appealing opportunity.

If you’re ready to look beyond the walls of a property and see its potential as a home and a lifestyle, Woodlands Croft is waiting. Here, you won’t just find a house—you’ll find a new perspective on life in a location that marries history with opportunity. I’d be happy to help you explore the potential of this exceptional home; feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a viewing. I’m always on the go, finding properties for folks like you, but there’s always time to introduce you to your new dream home.

Stand at the bay window of the main lounge on a clear October morning, the marble fireplace behind you still warm from last night's fire, and watch red kites drift low over the tree line at the edge of the estate. That's the rhythm of life at Colleonard House. Not a postcard. Not a fantasy. Just Tuesday. Built around 1750 and later expanded toward the end of the 1800s, this five-bedroom, six-bathroom country house on the outskirts of Banff carries almost three centuries of Aberdeenshire history in its walls—and a full, thoughtful renovation completed in 1999 means you get all of that character without sacrificing a single modern comfort. Spread across 498 square metres of internal space and sitting within approximately 9.5 acres of private grounds, Colleonard House is the kind of property that makes you stop and recalibrate what a second home can actually mean. The approach alone sets the tone. A curved driveway, freshly stoned with granite chips, sweeps up through the grounds and deposits you at a cast iron portico that has been greeting visitors for well over two centuries. Step inside and the entrance hall opens up in a way that feels genuinely theatrical—two large stained glass windows throw coloured light across tiled and carpeted floors, three separate staircases branch off in different directions, and the whole space carries the particular silence of a house that has plenty of room to breathe. One staircase goes up to the principal accommodation, one descends to the wine cellar (yes, there is a wine cellar), and the third leads through to the main living areas. The formal dining room runs along one side of the house with sash windows on all aspects, so the light moves through it across the day in a way that mak ... click here to read more

Step outside on a September morning and red deer are picking their way across the hillside above Loch Maree before you've even made your first coffee. That's not a postcard. That's Tuesday at Kinlochmaree House. Built in 1895 and sitting on 1.4 acres at the edge of Kinlochewe village in Ross-shire, this is one of those rare Scottish properties that actually delivers on every promise the Highlands makes. Eight bedrooms, five bathrooms, a self-contained apartment already earning around £28,000 a year in holiday let income, and a garden wall that quite literally borders the Beinn Eighe and Loch Maree Islands National Nature Reserve — the oldest National Nature Reserve in Britain. Properties like this don't appear often. When they do, serious buyers move fast. The house itself has been taken apart and put back together properly. Not a cosmetic refresh — a ground-up renovation covering new insulation, new heat generation systems, underfloor heating in the kitchen, utility room and family bathroom, double and triple glazing throughout, full re-plumbing, full re-wiring, re-rendering, a new kitchen, and all-new sanitary fittings. The kind of work that means you can move in, light the wood-burning stove in the drawing room, and not spend your first winter dealing with inherited problems. And yet none of the Victorian bones have been lost. The original pitch pine staircase is still here, its banister worn smooth by 130 years of hands. The flagstone entrance porch. The generous ceiling heights and wide hallway that gives the ground floor that unhurried quality you simply can't retrofit. The drawing room and dining room each have their own wood-burning stoves — on a wet October evening, both rooms glow in a way that makes you for ... click here to read more

On a quiet Sunday morning in Kings Park, you open the bay window of the principal lounge and the smell of cut grass drifts in from Victoria Square below. A church bell somewhere near the Old Town counts nine. The stone walls of your private garden hold the cool Scottish air in while the first real sun of the day catches the cornice work above the fireplace. This is what life at Abercromby Place actually feels like — and it's the kind of thing you stop taking for granted very quickly. Built around 1900, this four-bedroom, four-bathroom Edwardian villa in one of Stirling's most consistently sought-after residential pockets has been cared for with the kind of quiet seriousness that period architecture demands. At 268 square metres across two floors, there's genuine room here — not the slightly optimistic room of a modern marketing brochure, but actual, move-around-freely, host-twelve-for-dinner room. The sort of space that makes long stays feel like settling in rather than camping out. Kings Park carries a distinct character, even by Stirling's standards. The streets are wide and tree-lined, the stone facades substantial. Neighbours tend to be professionals, academics connected to the University of Stirling just a few kilometres north, and families who've worked out that the city centre is a fifteen-minute walk but the noise doesn't follow you home. Estate agents talk about "prestigious addresses" until the phrase loses all meaning, but Victoria Square genuinely earns the description — it's the kind of green, open space that makes a bay window feel like a private box seat. The layout inside rewards a slow first walk-through. The entrance hallway sets the tone immediately: ornate cornicing overhead, decorative plasterwork ... click here to read more

Step outside on a still October morning and the surface of Loch Rannoch is flat as glass, reflecting the Munros on the far shore in colours that shift from bruised purple to gold as the sun clears the ridge. The only sounds are the creak of Scots pines behind the house and the soft knock of your boat against the slipway thirty-five metres away. That slipway is yours. So is the beach, the loch frontage, the stone bothy, the motor cruiser, and 1.37 acres of some of the most quietly extraordinary land in Scotland. Blackwood Lodge sits on the south shore of Loch Rannoch, tucked between the ancient Black Wood of Rannoch — one of the last large remnants of the original Caledonian pine forest that once covered the Highlands — and the loch itself. The house was built in 1974 as the residence for the Blackwood forester, which tells you something about how it sits in the landscape: practically, purposefully, with the kind of relationship to the land that most weekend retreats can only gesture at. It has been thoughtfully updated since, but the original intent — a proper country house that serves people who actually use the outdoors — is still written into every corner of the place. Single-storey living makes this a property that works for everyone, from young families to older buyers who want easy access without compromise. The open-plan living and dining area runs across the front of the house behind full-height glazing, and the view from that glass is the first thing every visitor stops to stare at: uninterrupted loch and hill, the water changing colour with the weather, red squirrels occasionally crossing the garden. The wood-burning stove anchors the living room. Come back from a November walk up Schiehallion — a satisfying ... click here to read more

Blackwood Lodge

Stand in the kitchen on a November morning and watch a red squirrel work its way along the drystone wall while the kettle comes to the boil. The Everhot range cooker has been on since six, the skylight above is streaked with the kind of pale Highland light that photographers chase for hours, and through the back door you can hear the faint run of the burn that traces the far edge of your three acres. This is Balquhidder — a place where mornings feel like they were made specifically for you, and where the word "retreat" actually means something. Set on the southern edge of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, this three-bedroom stone-built cottage on the Balquhidder road near Lochearnhead is one of those rare Scottish properties that manages to be genuinely off the beaten track without asking you to sacrifice anything meaningful. Good broadband. Solar panels with roughly a decade left on the Feed-in Tariff. A fully operational holiday-let bothy in the grounds already generating income. The bones are solid, the upgrades are smart, and the surrounding landscape is the kind that makes people move countries. The main house stretches across 122 square metres — just over 1,300 square feet — and the space is used well. Walk in through the front door and the lounge draws you immediately: a woodburning stove sits at the far end, the sort you light at dusk on an October Friday and don't let go out until Sunday afternoon. The windows face the garden and beyond it the open ground rises toward the hills. In summer, the light hangs in those windows until almost ten o'clock. In winter, the stove does the work and it does it properly. The kitchen-diner is the room people come back to. The Belfast sink, the Everhot, the skyligh ... click here to read more

On a clear morning at Ardreoch, you stand at the bay window of the main lounge with a mug of tea and watch mist lift slowly off Loch Awe — Scotland's longest freshwater loch stretching into the distance like something from another century. The only sounds are birdsong and, occasionally, the creak of the greenhouse door in a light westerly. This is not a fantasy. This is Tuesday. Ardreoch is a fully restored Victorian detached house on the edge of Kilchrenan, a small village tucked into the hills of Argyll and Bute, roughly seven miles south of Taynuilt along quiet single-track roads lined with dry stone walls and tall oaks. The house sits elevated on its plot — about one acre in total — and that elevation matters. Every principal room catches the views across the surrounding countryside toward Loch Awe, and the light through those original bay windows changes completely between morning and late afternoon, from pale gold to something almost amber. The Victorian bones of this property are exceptional. Original ornate ceiling roses, deep plaster cornicing, and generous room proportions that modern builds simply don't replicate. The current owner spent years restoring rather than renovating — a crucial distinction — keeping the period character intact while quietly upgrading what mattered: a Stovax multi-fuel stove in the main lounge, a freestanding bath on the half landing, a fully fitted kitchen with induction hob and double oven. The result is a house that feels genuinely warm in the way that old houses can, without any of the cold drafts or crumbling plasterwork that usually comes with that charm. Ground floor living at Ardreoch is unusually versatile for a house this age. Arrive through the glazed porch and sun room ... click here to read more

On a clear morning, you can stand in the living room of The Gables and watch the mist lift off the Denbighshire hills — a slow, unhurried theatre that no screen saver has ever quite captured. The fields roll away in every direction, the lane outside stays quiet enough to hear a pheasant in the hedge, and the only traffic you'll encounter before 9am is someone walking a spaniel. This is rural North Wales at its most grounded, and this four-bedroom house on roughly one acre of flat, usable land puts you right in the middle of it. Built in 2004 and maintained in genuinely good condition throughout, The Gables sits along a quiet country lane in Llannefydd, a small village tucked into the hills between Denbigh and the Vale of Clwyd. The house delivers around 2,600 square feet — 239 square metres — across two well-organised floors, which means there's actual room to spread out. Not just a spare bedroom and a narrow hallway, but three reception rooms, a proper kitchen with a breakfast area, a utility room you'll use every single day, and four double bedrooms served by three bathrooms. For a holiday home or second home in North Wales, that kind of space is genuinely hard to come by at this price point. Pull into the long gravel driveway and you immediately understand the scale. The house sits well back from the lane. The grounds extend to about an acre of level grass — no steep banks to manage, no awkward corners — just usable land with open countryside beyond the boundary. Families who've spent years cramped into suburban gardens tend to go a bit quiet when they first see it. There's a rear patio accessible through French doors from the kitchen, perfect for a long lunch when the weather behaves, and the surrounding hedgerows ... click here to read more

On a clear morning in Glenhinnisdal, the Trotternish Ridge turns a deep violet before the sun crests it. You're standing at the breakfast room window with a coffee, watching the light spill down onto open croft land, and your guests haven't stirred yet. This is what ownership here actually feels like — not a business you manage from a distance, but a life you step into. Trotternish Bed and Breakfast sits on a working croft in northern Skye, eleven miles above Portree on the peninsula that most visitors only see from a tour bus window. That distance from the beaten path is precisely what makes this place work. Guests who find Glenhinnisdal are the ones who came looking for the real island — the wide silence of it, the geology that looks like another planet, the kind of Highland hospitality that doesn't come from a script. The building itself is architect-designed and substantial — 219 square metres across two storeys, built in 2007 and thoughtfully remodelled twice since. The exterior is durable roughcast render under a traditional slate roof; honest materials that suit the landscape. Inside, the standard of finish is consistently high: new carpets and beds fitted in 2023, emergency lighting installed, UPVC soffits and fascia replaced across 2023 and 2024, and an EV charging station added in 2024. The heating runs on an oil-fired wet system backed up by electric ceramic panel heaters for the shoulder months. Nothing here feels provisional. This is a property that has been properly looked after. Five letting rooms occupy the house, each with a name that reflects the island — Stag, Otter, Highland Cow, Puffin, Sheep. Every room has a modern en-suite with heated towel rails, fitted wardrobes, a silent fridge, a Nespresso ... click here to read more

Stand at the flagged terrace on a clear September evening and watch the sun drop behind the Outer Hebrides, painting Loch Dunvegan in shades of copper and amber. There's a particular quality to the light here on the Waternish Peninsula that photographers chase and painters try — and fail — to replicate. From Sunset View, you don't have to chase anything. It comes to you, every single evening, framed by full-length glass across an entire west-facing elevation. This is Lochbay. A handful of houses, a working croft or two, the distant lowing of Highland cattle. The Waternish Peninsula stretches north into the Minch like a quiet finger of land that the rest of the world mostly forgot about — and locals are quietly glad about that. Sunset View sits in an elevated position above the bay, and from the moment you pull off the single-track road onto the private tarmac driveway, you understand this is something genuinely different. The house has been taken back to its bones and rebuilt from the inside out by its current owners — not flipped, but thoughtfully reimagined over years. The exterior keeps its traditional Scottish character: white rendered walls, pitched rooflines, the kind of profile that belongs here. Inside is another story entirely. The ground floor opens into a lounge and dining space that measures over ten metres by seven. That's not a typo. The room is vast, flooded with natural light through walls of glazing that put Loch Dunvegan front and centre at every moment of the day. A living flame fire anchors the space, giving it warmth and focus on the kind of October afternoon when the rain moves across the loch in silver curtains. Luxury vinyl tile flooring runs throughout — practical for muddy boots after a hill ... click here to read more

Stand at the kitchen window on a still October morning and watch the old water wheel turn against a backdrop of copper-tinged birch trees. The mill lade runs quietly below, the same stone channel that carried water here since 1733. That's the kind of detail that stops you mid-pour and makes you set your coffee down slowly. Longhill Mill isn't a conversion you walk through with a checklist — it's a place you walk through and start mentally rearranging your life. Sitting on the northern edge of Lhanbryde, just off the A96 between Elgin and the Moray Firth, this Grade A Listed former mill house occupies 0.96 acres of mature grounds on the boundary of the historic Innes Estate. The drive in alone tells you something is different: you arrive via the original mill lade, past the restored water wheel, and into a property that has been lived in thoughtfully for over twenty years since its 2003 conversion. The bones of the building go back to 1733. Rebuilt after a fire in 1891, the mill has spent the last two decades being gradually shaped into a genuinely comfortable family home — not a showroom, but a real working residence with five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a self-contained annex that has been running as a successful holiday let for the past five years. Original grain hoppers, exposed timber beams, and millstones remain where they've always been. Nobody ripped them out and installed recessed downlights everywhere. Smart choices. The ground floor opens into a welcoming lobby with a double bedroom and a shower room that doubles as a utility — useful if you've just come back from a walk along the Burghead coastal path and don't need to traipse through the house. Head upstairs and the space opens up considerably. The kitche ... click here to read more

Picture yourself driving down a tree-lined avenue in the Scottish Highlands, where rolling fields stretch toward distant mountains and the air carries the crisp scent of pine and heather. This is your arrival at a meticulously restored 1780 former Church of Scotland Manse in Easter Ross, where nearly two centuries of history meet the comfort of contemporary Highland living. Across 1.88 private acres dotted with specimen trees and walled gardens, this property offers not just a vacation home in Scotland, but a complete Highland estate experience with proven income potential from its converted barn annexe. The Old Manse represents a rare opportunity for international buyers seeking a Scottish holiday home that combines authentic period architecture with modern functionality. This substantial 342-square-meter residence sits in the heart of Easter Ross, where the Black Isle meets the Cromarty Firth, offering the perfect base for exploring Scotland's wild northern landscapes while remaining remarkably accessible. The property has operated successfully as both a family residence and guest accommodation, demonstrating its versatility as either a private Highland retreat or an income-generating vacation property investment. Living in this corner of the Scottish Highlands means embracing a rhythm dictated by dramatic seasonal changes. Spring arrives with carpets of bluebells beneath ancient woodland, while summer brings extended daylight hours where the sun barely sets, perfect for evening strolls through your walled gardens or along nearby coastal paths. Autumn transforms the landscape into a tapestry of russet and gold, ideal for exploring nearby forests and distilleries, while winter offers cozy nights beside wood-burning st ... click here to read more

Stand at the top of the watch tower on a clear October morning and you can see for miles — the Bervie Water curving silver through the valley below, the North Sea glinting on the eastern horizon, and not another soul in sight. That view has been there since 1542. It will be there long after you're gone. That's the thing about Allardice Castle that gets under your skin: it doesn't feel like a house you buy. It feels like a place you inherit. Set about two miles northwest of the Royal Burgh of Inverbervie on the Angus coast, this six-bedroom castle sits above a dramatic bend in the Bervie Water, surrounded by roughly three acres of grounds that include a formal walled garden, riparian fishing rights along the riverbank, and a collection of stone outbuildings that include a coach house ripe for conversion. The driveway arrives at an inner courtyard — the kind of arrival that makes guests go quiet for a moment. Harled stone walls, a slate roof, and an L-shaped tower house configuration that has barely changed in centuries. Inside, the spiral staircase does most of the talking. It rises through three storeys in that tight, deliberate way that Scottish tower houses were built — not for speed, but for defence, for ceremony, for the long view of things. The ground floor anchors daily life comfortably: a large kitchen and living room with a fireplace so substantial you could park a car in the opening, a wood-burning stove that makes January here genuinely cosy, a pantry, utility room, shower room, and a vaulted entrance hall that doubles as a home office. The bones of the place are extraordinary — original doors, intricate cornicing, wood panelling that's been here longer than the country you're reading this from has existed in ... click here to read more

Stand in the Great Hall of Lickleyhead Castle on a still October morning. A log fire crackles in the walk-in fireplace—wide enough to park a small car—and pale Aberdeenshire light comes slanting through three tall windows, catching the grain of centuries-old wood paneling. Somewhere outside, a burn gurgles through the grounds. That's not a sound effect. That's breakfast. Built in 1580 and expanded across the 17th and 18th centuries into its distinctive L-shaped form, Lickleyhead Castle sits on the lower slopes of Bennachie—the granite hill that Aberdeenshire farmers have used as a landmark for a thousand years. Grade A Listed by Historic Environment Scotland, it carries the fingerprints of clans Leslie, Leith, Forbes, Duff, and Lumsden. You feel that weight of time not as burden but as atmosphere. The spiral staircases worn smooth underfoot, the intricate stonework above doorways, the Adams fireplace in the panelled sitting room—these things don't need embellishment. They just are. The castle comes with approximately 11 acres: three of formal gardens, eight of natural woodland. Two burns cross the grounds. There's a walled garden, a rose garden, broad lawns, a sunken terrace, and the footprint of a former ice house that tells its own story about how people lived here before refrigeration. A long, tree-lined driveway separates the estate from the outside world before you've even reached the front door. The separate Lickleyhead Gardeners Cottage—three bedrooms, two bathrooms, fully refurbished—sits across one of the burns from the castle. Independent, private, and genuinely useful whether you're housing extended family, running a letting business, or simply want a caretaker close by without being underfoot.

Built in 1902, this six-bedroom home blends history with modern conveniences, making it an ideal residence for families or expatriates searching for a touch of the countryside in their lives.

Stand at the bay window of the main lounge on a clear October morning, the marble fireplace behind you still warm from last night's fire, and watch red kites drift low over the tree line at the edge of the estate. That's the rhythm of life at Colleonard House. Not a postcard. Not a fantasy. Just Tuesday. Built around 1750 and later expanded toward the end of the 1800s, this five-bedroom, six-bathroom country house on the outskirts of Banff carries almost three centuries of Aberdeenshire history in its walls—and a full, thoughtful renovation completed in 1999 means you get all of that character without sacrificing a single modern comfort. Spread across 498 square metres of internal space and sitting within approximately 9.5 acres of private grounds, Colleonard House is the kind of property that makes you stop and recalibrate what a second home can actually mean. The approach alone sets the tone. A curved driveway, freshly stoned with granite chips, sweeps up through the grounds and deposits you at a cast iron portico that has been greeting visitors for well over two centuries. Step inside and the entrance hall opens up in a way that feels genuinely theatrical—two large stained glass windows throw coloured light across tiled and carpeted floors, three separate staircases branch off in different directions, and the whole space carries the particular silence of a house that has plenty of room to breathe. One staircase goes up to the principal accommodation, one descends to the wine cellar (yes, there is a wine cellar), and the third leads through to the main living areas. The formal dining room runs along one side of the house with sash windows on all aspects, so the light moves through it across the day in a way that mak ... click here to read more

Ah, the bustling life of a real estate agent never stops, and today I'm thrilled to share a gem tucked away in the beautiful countryside of Angus. We're talking about the Kirkden House in Letham, a place that any overseas buyer looking for a slice of British history and a taste of rural life would find truly captivating. If you have ever dreamt of living in a home with a story of its own, then this charming country home, dating back to 1783 and extended in 1825, might just captivate your imagination. Picture this: a two-storey house built from stone with a sturdy slate roof, looking over beautiful gardens and a flowing water stream called the Vinny Water. It's a historic property, yes, but in remarkably good condition, retaining many of its original features like elegant cornices throughout numerous rooms.

Stand at the kitchen window on a still October morning and watch the old water wheel turn against a backdrop of copper-tinged birch trees. The mill lade runs quietly below, the same stone channel that carried water here since 1733. That's the kind of detail that stops you mid-pour and makes you set your coffee down slowly. Longhill Mill isn't a conversion you walk through with a checklist — it's a place you walk through and start mentally rearranging your life. Sitting on the northern edge of Lhanbryde, just off the A96 between Elgin and the Moray Firth, this Grade A Listed former mill house occupies 0.96 acres of mature grounds on the boundary of the historic Innes Estate. The drive in alone tells you something is different: you arrive via the original mill lade, past the restored water wheel, and into a property that has been lived in thoughtfully for over twenty years since its 2003 conversion. The bones of the building go back to 1733. Rebuilt after a fire in 1891, the mill has spent the last two decades being gradually shaped into a genuinely comfortable family home — not a showroom, but a real working residence with five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a self-contained annex that has been running as a successful holiday let for the past five years. Original grain hoppers, exposed timber beams, and millstones remain where they've always been. Nobody ripped them out and installed recessed downlights everywhere. Smart choices. The ground floor opens into a welcoming lobby with a double bedroom and a shower room that doubles as a utility — useful if you've just come back from a walk along the Burghead coastal path and don't need to traipse through the house. Head upstairs and the space opens up considerably. The kitche ... click here to read more
