Set in Aberdeen’s sought-after West End, 55 Carden Place is a double-fronted granite townhouse offering 2,530 sq ft of versatile living across three floors. The house blends strong period character — high ceilings, bay windows, ornate cornicing and panelled doors — with a recent comprehensive refurbishment that leaves the interiors ready to occupy. The principal suite and multiple bay-fronted rooms deliver bright, generous living spaces for a growing family or professional couple.
The kitchen forms the social heart, finished in contemporary cabinetry with stainless appliances and generous daylight. Reception rooms include a formal dining room, a cosy sitting room with a luxury gas fire, and a spacious lounge overlooking the south-facing rear garden. The garden is a notable city asset: sheltered by granite walls, south-facing and paved for al fresco dining with a brick outbuilding for storage and side access.
Practical benefits include secondary glazing, gas central heating to radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property is freehold, has good schooling and city-centre amenities nearby, and offers basement-level bedrooms and additional shower/WC facilities that suit multi-generational use or home office flexibility.
Important considerations: the house is Category B Listed, which preserves many historic features but will restrict external and internal alterations and may complicate consent for extensions or substantial changes. The EPC rating is D. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the wider area is noted as having pockets of deprivation, despite a local population of highly qualified professionals — buyers should check local service and cost implications. Viewing recommended to assess storage, basement accommodation and any specific renovation desires despite the recent refurbishment.
