Shepherd Chartered Surveyors is marketing a rare development opportunity in the attractive historic residential district of Old Aberdeen for sale.
Within close proximity to the University of Aberdeen, the location is a well-established high quality residential district featuring some of the highest priced properties within Aberdeen. The four acre site bounds onto Seaton Park and is adjacent to St Machar Cathedral. Aberdeen beach is a short distance to the east.
The site, which is located within a conservation area, previously accommodated the Dunbar Halls of Residence and had been used for educational purposes since the 1960s, until the buildings were demolished. Prior to that, the site was a known location of the palace of the medieval bishops of Aberdeen which was first erected in the early 14th century, destroyed in 1336 and rebuilt around 1459.
Chris Grinyer, managing partner at Shepherd in Aberdeen, said: “The site represents quite a unique opportunity given its location within Old Aberdeen. The location offers great recreational opportunities with both Seaton Park and the Beach only a stone’s throw away. As a result there is an opportunity to create a quality development in a special location.”
