Birk Lodge, Birkhills, AB53

Birk Lodge is one of those homes that gives you options. Whether you've always wanted more space for the family, a place to run a business from home or just room for your hobbies then you’ll find all boxes ticked here. Built in 2013 and sitting within two acres of grounds, this detached bungalow enjoys a peaceful Aberdeenshire countryside setting, yet only three miles from Turriff, so everyday essentials are never far from home.
The large driveway gives you plenty of space for family cars, visitors, a motorhome or trailer, while the integral double garage provides a secure spot to keep them. The attractive stone frontage of the home, bay windows and covered entrance give the house a welcoming appearance.
Stepping inside, the lounge is somewhere you'll happily spend hours. The bay window draws your eyes straight out to the surrounding countryside while the feature fireplace gives the room a cosy focal point. It's a room that works just as well for a quiet night in as it does when friends or family are gathered together, with glazed doors opening into the kitchen.
The kitchen immediately stands out for its size. Walnut effect wall and floor cabinets wrap around the room, complemented by dark worktops and a mosaic style tiled splashback in a mix of cream, stone and grey tones. A Rangemaster cooker beneath the contemporary extractor hood creates an attractive focal point while glass fronted display cabinets give you a great spot to display treasured crockery and glassware. There's still plenty of room for a large family dining table in the centre, while a large opening leads through to the sun lounge.
The sun lounge is a lovely addition to the home and somewhere you'll naturally find yourself spending time throughout the year. Windows wrap around three sides, filling the room with natural light and making the most of the views across the gardens and surrounding countryside. Neutral décor and tiled flooring keep the space feeling bright and easy to maintain, while glazed doors open directly onto the garden.
The utility room keeps all the practical jobs out of sight. Matching cabinets and worktops provide plenty of storage alongside space for laundry appliances.
The family bathroom has been finished to the same high standard as the rest of the home. The centrepiece is the impressive spa bath with jets which is a real luxury touch. Above it is a shower , giving you the option of a long soak or a quick wash. The room is mainly decorated with contemporary grey tiles, while a floating vanity unit with storage below, a toilet and chrome towel radiator finish the room.
The home also has a separate shower room, featuring a large walk in shower with contemporary wet wall panelling, a floating vanity unit with storage below, a toilet and a chrome towel radiator. A frosted window allows natural light into the room while maintaining privacy.
The master bedroom is exactly what you'd hope for in a home of this quality. It's a generous room with a soft cream carpet underfoot, light coloured walls and a striking blue feature wall. This room has two strong features which set it apart. There’s a separate dressing room with open hanging rails, shelving and additional storage, helping to keep the bedroom itself uncluttered and giving you a private space to change. The bedroom also has an en-suite which features a large walk-in shower enclosure, a floating vanity unit with storage cabinets below, a toilet and chrome towel radiator. It’s the sort of master suite that you could really fall in love with.
Bedroom two is another generous double room with soft yellow walls, a large window overlooking the gardens and built-in wardrobes with double timber doors. There's comfortably enough space for two beds, making it an ideal room for children sharing, visiting grandchildren or guests.
The third bedroom is equally versatile with light coloured walls complemented by a blue feature wall. A built-in wardrobe keeps storage neatly tucked away without taking up valuable floor space.
Built in 2013, the property benefits from PVC double glazed windows and composite external doors. Heating is provided by an oil fired Worcester boiler located within the integral double garage, supplying the central heating and hot water.
Outside, the grounds extend to around two acres, with the majority laid to lawn and bordered by timber fencing. The steel framed outbuilding is every bit as impressive as the house itself. Constructed with profile metal sheeting and fitted with sixteen photovoltaic panels, it offers an incredible amount of space that could suit everything from running a business and storing machinery to classic cars, workshops or large scale hobbies. Opportunities to find a home with this level of flexibility are few and far between.
If you've been looking for a home that gives you more than just extra bedrooms, Birk Lodge is well worth seeing. The combination of beautifully decorated interiors, generous grounds, outstanding workshop space and a peaceful countryside setting makes it a home you can move into and enjoy straight away.
