THE LODGE, KINGSFIELD ROAD, KINTORE
A rare opportunity has arisen to acquire this elegant granite Georgian dwelling-house dating
back to the 1750s. “The Lodge” is possibly the oldest house in Kintore and has the most
unusual claim of enjoying a “countryside setting” within a village location. Set within a
beautiful walled garden affording an open southerly aspect this distinguished residence, set
out on three floors, retains many of its original architectural aspects such as the moulded
ceiling cornices, picture rails, curved wooden staircase and Adam fireplace in the master
bedroom, all of which combine to greatly enhance the character of this prestigious family
home. Particular noteworthy features include the opulent Scottish Conservatory, the striking,
handcrafted hardwood kitchen and the amount of natural light which flows through the
property by virtue of the fact that many of the rooms extend the length of the house with the
benefit of front and rear windows. A stable block and paddock are also included in the
subjects, making “The Lodge” particularly attractive to those with equestrian interests.
The property is served by oil central heating and mains electricity with Three Phase Power
being available in addition to Single Phase Power.
