One-of-a-kind £1.5m luxury Aberdeen home comes to market

Scotsman17-06-2025
A landmark granite-built home in Aberdeen's prestigious Milltimber district has come to market, combining period grandeur and advanced technology to create a one-of-a-kind home.
The expansive property occupies a secluded plot with landscaped gardens created by a gold medallist designer, smart home infrastructure, and exceptional finishes throughout.
The current owners of the six-bedroom Sunert House spent over two years completely upgrading and extending the century old property and garden to create a unique residence.
Brought to market by leading solicitor estate agents Simpson & Marwick, the home is listed on the market for £1.5m.
The owners worked closely with their design and construction teams to ensure that the refurbishment of the original house blended seamlessly with the new extension and garden redesign, they commented: 'Every decision we made, from restoring original period details to installing state-of-the-art technology, was about blending the best of old and new.
'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.' For those looking for an outdoor activity 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, creating a space ideal for entertaining and everyday family living.
Limestone flooring flows through the kitchen and utility room, while engineered walnut adds warmth in the family room and hallway, all enhanced by underfloor heating, bringing both comfort and style.
A programmable lighting system and integrated audio-visual controls bring modern convenience, while working fireplaces and traditional Douglas Fir fireproof doors preserve the home's timeless charm.
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.
Double-glazed Accoya sash and case windows feature throughout, and a high-end smart system allows seamless control of music, lighting and media via a touchscreen or mobile device.
The home also includes seven bathrooms, while a generous 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.'
Sunert House offers proximity to top-rated schools including the International School of Aberdeen, Cults Academy and the recently opened Milltimber Primary.
Commuting is straightforward thanks to easy access to the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route and transport links to Aberdeen city centre and beyond.

Inside 'fairytale' Scottish castle on sale for over £2.6 million

If you ever fantasised about living in a fairytale castle as a child, this stunning lochside property near Edinburgh could make your childhood dreams come true. Overlooking Otterston Loch, Couston Castle has been restored over the years to the highest standard, providing its residents with a perfect blend of historic features and high-end modern amenities. With a history which can be traced back to the 16th century, Couston Castle has been remodelled several times, including once with involvement from James V, King of Scots. It fell into disrepair in the early 19th century, when its stone was used to provide farm steading. For over a century it remained a ruin, but in the 1980s Dunfermline businessman Alastair Harper purchased the castle and began restoring it to its former glory using as many original materials as possible. Most of the present Couston Castle is modern, with its historic features restored where possible. The castle has been further upgraded by its current owners who use it as a family home, with a modern kitchen and new bathrooms, which have brought the finish of the property up to a very high standard. Its amenities include a cinema, home office and gym, five bedrooms, five bathrooms, two WCs as well as a vaulted sitting room, dining room and drawing room. There is also a guest flat above the triple garage, with one bedroom. Set within 5.37 acres of land, which is surrounded by loch, it enjoys a rural location with formal gardens and outbuildings. Despite its private location, it is close to Aberdour in Fife and just 18 miles from Edinburgh City Centre. Now on the market for offers over £2,650,000, enquiries can be directed to Knight Frank. 1 .

Historic firm marks 'long-awaited' return to legal services

The move re-establishes the firm's solicitor credentials and sees it rejoin the ESPC – the region's leading network of solicitor estate agents – in turn unlocking full market visibility for clients selling homes in Edinburgh and the Lothians. Group Managing Director Rob Aberdein, who returned to lead the firm earlier this year, said: 'This marks a hugely important moment for Simpson & Marwick. Legal services have always been part of the brand's DNA, and our return enables us to provide clients with a fully integrated offering once again. 'Rejoining the ESPC is particularly significant. For sellers in Edinburgh and the Lothians, there is simply no substitute in terms of exposure. We're delighted to be back.' READ MORE: With a legacy of legal excellence spanning nearly 140 years, Simpson & Marwick has played a central role in some of Scotland's most significant legal moments – including the Piper Alpha inquiry and the Lockerbie bombing proceedings. The firm was headquartered Heriot Row in Edinburgh for generations, before becoming part of multinational legal giant Clyde & Co in 2015, and then returning to independent ownership from 2020. The reintroduction of legal services comes amid a period of renewed ambition for the firm, following its recent re-entry to the Aberdeen market – and opening of a prime Union Street office – and a series of key hires across its property division. Mr Aberdein added: 'We're building momentum – investing in our people, locations, modern systems and a genuinely client-first approach that reflects the way legal and property services should be delivered in 2025. 'Our goal is to grow a contemporary legal services business that keeps the values Simpson & Marwick has always been known for, while offering something markedly different, both for clients and Scotland's best legal and property talent.' With expansion ongoing and further ambitious appointments and milestones in the pipeline, the firm has a clear message for legal and property professionals looking for something different. Mr Aberdein added: 'We're creating a platform for ambitious, entrepreneurial lawyers and Scotland's most talented property professionals – whether you're early in your career or at a stage where you want to lead your own department or grow your own territory. 'If you're excited about legal and property services done differently, that are tech-enabled and client-led then Simpson & Marwick is the place to be.'
