Description
Welcome to the ancient and historic Logie Elphinstone House, on a private estate, on the banks of the river Urie, at the foot of Bennachie. Logie House was built in the 1670s near the Royal Burgh of Inverurie, to the west of Aberdeen.
The self contained guest wing is available for holiday letting. Joined to the main house by the tower, with it’s own private entrance from the north lawn, it comfortably sleeps 8-10 in 5 bedrooms.
Inside the property is spacious, warm, modern and very well equipped
Outside is a sheltered, enclosed courtyard, with deep borders of flowers, pots of herbs and vegetables in tubs.
The six acres of lawn, gardens and ancient woodland, make a tranquil place for walking, picnics, fishing and relaxing. The main drive is lined with wild cherry trees and there are apple, plums, gooseberries, redcurrants, raspberries and pears for the taking. There is a trampoline and climbing frame for the children, tame free range chickens and a stable block. The river Urie runs through the garden before joining the Don. It teems with brown trout and is rarely fished.
The garden is frequented by red squirrel, deer, rabbits, heron and buzzards. Woodpeckers feed in the courtyard, owls perch on the tower at night and swallows nest in nearly every south facing upstairs window. Wagtails and swifts nest in the log stores and outhouses. Water vole are being re-introduced to the river and there are otters there already.
The house faces south, has beautiful views over the foothills of Bennachie from the lawn and is about 5 miles from the Royal burgh of Inverurie. There are easy travel links by car from the A96, by air from Aberdeen Airport (18 miles) and by train from Inverurie (5 miles)
