'We worked with a highly motivated team to create something exceptional, a home that feels both timeless and completely modern.
'We feel incredibly proud of what we've created here, but the time is right for someone else to enjoy it. With its space, privacy, and setting in one of Aberdeen's finest communities, it's a truly unique place to live."
The property's location on the outskirts of Aberdeen provides easy access to both Deeside and the Highlands.
At the heart of the home is a 'showstopping' kitchen and utility suite, designed by Cameron Interiors of Perth and fitted with sleek German Bulthaup cabinetry.
It features a full suite of high-spec Gaggenau appliances, including twin ovens, a steam oven, warming drawer, induction hob, wine fridge, built-in coffee machine and a commercial-grade extractor.

The owners added: 'The gardens have been one of the most rewarding aspects of living here. We worked closely with a gold-medal winning designer to create spaces that are both beautiful and practical – somewhere you can truly unwind.
'Whether it's enjoying breakfast in the front courtyard, relaxing in the sunken patio, or taking a walk straight from the back gate onto the Deeside Way, it's an incredibly peaceful setting."
The home also includes seven bathrooms, while a basement provides additional storage and flexible workspace.
Nikki Hempseed, the Simpson & Marwick agent managing the sale, said: 'This is one of the most exceptional homes I've had the privilege of bringing to market.
'The level of care, craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout is truly remarkable, I've honestly never seen anything quite like it.
'From the stunning kitchen with its bespoke cabinetry and top-tier appliances, to the integration of modern technology and the beautifully restored original features, it's clear that every element has been thoughtfully considered.
'This home is a complete lifestyle offering for those seeking space, quality and exclusivity.'

Struggling car maker gets huge new upgrade at UK plant after confirming hundreds of jobs would be axed
The move is said to save 1,500 tonnes of CO2 each year. ELECTRIC SHOCK Struggling car maker gets huge new upgrade at UK plant after confirming hundreds of jobs would be axed A STRUGGLING car maker has been handed a massive new upgrade at a UK plant after it confirmed hundreds of jobs would be lost. Nissan's plant in Sunderland has now gone live with its new electric truck charging station. 2 Nissan's plant in Sunderland has now gone live with its new electric truck charging station Credit: Getty At the end of last month, the firm announced the job cuts after it reported £4 billion losses in the last financial year. The facility, which cost £1.4million, is the first private, shared charging station of its kind in the UK. It is expected to cut carbon emissions by around 1,500 tonnes a year. Michael Simpson, vice president of supply chain management at Nissan AMIEO, said: "It is fantastic for our plant to be leading the charge to an electrified supply chain with this project. "We welcome the support we've received from our partners to bring the charging station to life and we're proud of what we have achieved. "The charging station looks brilliant and is a big step forward in Nissan's EV360 vision, which brings together electric vehicles, zero carbon energy and battery manufacturing." The station is capable of supporting 60 UK eHGV deliveries to the plant every day and marks just the beginning of the plant's move towards electrifying its supply chain. Mr Simpson added: 'We're exploring further opportunities to allow other hauliers to use the charging station as well as looking at other opportunities to maximise its full potential.' The charging station can support a fleet of 25 trucks, with a charging capacity of up to 360kW. The trucks will pick up parts from Nissan's UK supply base, going as far afield as Derby and also delivering finished vehicles to and from the Tyne port. New Nissan Leaf tested - it's bigger, better and goes further That will mean more than 2.4million kilometres will be travelled every years, completely electrified and saving 1,500 tonnes of CO2 each year. The project is part of the Electric Freightway consortium, which involves Nissan, GRIDSERVE, Fergusons, Yusen, and BCA, and is aimed at accelerating the adoption of eHGVs and high-power charging infrastructure, The Northern Echo reports. UK government minister for the future of roads Lilian Greenwood said: "We're working closely with the road freight sector to slash transport emissions, and our £200million zero emission HGV programme is helping businesses across the country to power the electrification of their fleets. "It's great to see Nissan taking advantage of our scheme which is supporting high paid jobs and putting money in the pockets of working people – all part of delivering our Plan for Change." The charging station forms a key part of Nissan's wider EV36Zero plan, which aims to integrate electric vehicle production, renewable energy, and battery manufacturing. Daniel Kunkel, CEO of GRIDSERVE, said: "The decarbonisation of transport logistics is much stronger and reaches far wider when done in partnership. "This is why, as leaders of the Electric Freightway consortium, we are so pleased to support this UK first with Nissan and their haulage partners. "Depot charging is critical for the electrification of HGVs, going hand in hand with future public infrastructure developments. "As a first shared usage site, this location is leading the way in sustainable freight logistics." The news comes after the car manufacturer announced around 250 jobs from its Sunderland factory would be axed. The jobs will be cut under a "voluntary leave scheme" letting employees choose to leave their roles with support from the company. It comes just weeks after the Japanese firm announced the new Nissan Leaf would be made at the Sunderland site. The job losses will hit non-manufacturing positions. Nissan has announced the cuts amid a desperate bid to balance the books and support a global effort to become a more "resilient business." The attempts to save the brand were ramped up after merger talks with Honda fell through. Earlier this year the firm announced 20,000 job losses, seven factory closures and a pause on all post-2026 new car development. The closures of seven of its factories would see the brand limited to just 10 sites.

A dynamic new addition to a renowned Scottish solicitor estate agency's leadership team is bringing with him a record of explosive success from one of the world's most competitive real estate markets. Calum White, the Edinburgh-born founder of Dubai-based agency White & Co has joined Simpson & Marwick as Director of Growth & Innovation. Since launching his own business in 2021, Calum has grown it to a team of 420 with a projected turnover exceeding £60 million – a remarkable milestone for a company not yet five years old. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad In that short time, White & Co has earned major industry recognition, including the Dubai People's Choice – Enterprise Brokerage award from Bayut (the UAE's largest real estate portal), which is given to brokerages with over 200 agents, as well as being named as the number one Data-Driven Brokerage in Dubai by Property Monitor. L-R Gary Wales, Calum White, Rob Aberdein and Sean Nicol Calum's appointment follows Simpson & Marwick's recent return to legal services – an important milestone that re-established its solicitor credentials and enabled a rejoining of the ESPC. This combined legal and property offering positions the firm for long-term, integrated growth. The 32-year-old will serve as a strategic advisor, channelling his experience from one of the fastest-scaling estate agencies in the Middle East into the ongoing development of Simpson & Marwick's property services across Scotland. He will also lead training sessions with the firm's property team, focusing on instilling a culture of high performance, accountability and client-first delivery – key values that are central to the firm's next phase of growth. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Calum said: 'My ambition is to help create a new breed of estate agent in Scotland – one that ditches the autopilot mentality and puts customer delivery above all else. Calum White, Director of Growth & Innovation 'I've seen how dynamic and fast-moving the Dubai market can be. That pace, that hunger, that focus on results – it's exactly what the UK sector is missing. What excites me is that Simpson & Marwick isn't afraid to rip up the rule book. There's a genuine appetite here to do things better.' While White & Co operates in a vastly different market, Calum believes the same guiding principles apply – no matter the postcode. He added: 'Whether you're selling a high-rise apartment in Dubai or a family home in Gullane, the client still wants the same thing: someone who'll work their socks off to get the best outcome. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'Too many agents treat listings like a box-ticking exercise. They get it online, make a few calls, then hope for the best. That's not good enough. We need to bring back pride, ownership and urgency.' Simpson & Marwick's property division already has a strong track record of success – and Gary Wales, Simpson & Marwick's Director of Property Services, believes that the team can continue to dial up performance and shift expectations. He said: 'The Scottish estate agency model has stood still for too long. Sellers are told to accept slow progress and vague promises. We're not prepared to offer that. We want a service that is sharper, faster and delivers outcomes that clients can measure.' The appointment of White will see him visit the UK regularly throughout the year, delivering training, supporting key hires and helping to develop Simpson & Marwick's next generation of agents, with a view to fostering the similar growth mindset of his Dubai business. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Calum grew up in The Inch, Edinburgh and credits his early experience at another Scottish legal and property business, with shaping his passion for estate agency. It was there that he worked with his friend and mentor Sean Nicol, who now leads the Group's property services division, alongside Wales. Speaking of Calum's success in Dubai, Sean said: 'What Calum has achieved in a matter of years is exceptional. His focus on results, team performance and personal accountability is exactly what the UK property sector needs. 'Most importantly, he shares our view that estate agency should be a people-first business. We want every client to feel like they have someone in their corner, fighting for the best deal and giving regular, honest updates every step of the way.' Calum's appointment comes at an exciting point in time for the business as it expands its presence, including the recent opening of its new Union Street office in Aberdeen and appointment of Nikki Hempseed, one of the region's most respected estate agents.
