Summary - BRENTWOOD VILLA GUEST HOUSE, 560, KING STREET AB24 5SR
7 bed 5 bath Detached
Large multi-room property with flexible use for investors or family buyers.
Prominent detached granite Victorian property opposite University campus
An imposing detached granite Victorian house, Brentwood Villa occupies a prominent corner plot on King Street directly opposite the University of Aberdeen. Currently run successfully as a guest house, the property extends to about 213 sqm over two floors and provides a mix of six letting bedrooms (most en suite) plus separate private owner accommodation. Gas central heating, double glazing and plentiful storage mean the building is ready to continue trading with minimal downtime.
The layout suits several buyers: investors seeking a serviced accommodation / HMO / short‑let opportunity, or a family wanting a large period home in a central location. Ground-floor private living includes a sun lounge, galley kitchen and a double bedroom with wet-room style en suite; upstairs are four further letting bedrooms, all with en suite shower rooms. Low-maintenance front gravel and paved rear with outdoor storage reduce upkeep.
Practical positives include a garage, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, easy transport links, and proximity to the city centre, sports and leisure facilities, and Aberdeen beach. Certificates for the current guest-house operation are available, and the vendor offers a handover to assist continuation of the business if required.
Notable considerations are straightforward: the area is classified as very deprived and a cosmopolitan, student‑dominated neighbourhood, which can mean higher footfall and local activity. The EPC rating is D. While the house has been well maintained, the current layout is configured for guest accommodation, so a buyer wanting a conventional family layout should allow for internal reconfiguration and minor tweaks. Tenure is freehold.
