Hazelgrove, Montrose Road, Inverbervie, Aberdeenshire, DD10

Hazelgrove is a wonderful detached Victorian house dating back to the 1860’s and sits handsomely in an elevated position in private garden grounds of around an acre. With an easterly elevated position, the property has an outlook across Inverbervie to the seacoast and is a country house located in a village, offering the unique benefit of the tranquillity of the countryside, with the convenience and community of village life.

Returning to the main entrance hall, to the right side is the formal sitting room with fireplace and beautiful bay window. The home office is a good working space, although is flexible, and beyond this is the main kitchen. This kitchen is well fitted with good solid wood units and a central island unit with granite worktops. Access from this room is a handy utility room. Beyond is the impressive sunroom, with wood burning stove and doors opening out to the wonderful garden. Completing the accommodation to the ground floor is the cloakroom.
