The History
We are delighted to have been instructed to market this absolutely stunning three storey, 6 bedroom property that is part of the historic House of Daviot. Built in 1865 this magnificent baronial mansion house, formerly known as New House of Glack was designed by James Mathews for J.Mackenzie. It was acquired by Aberdeen's Royal Cornhill Asylum in 1888 and became the county lunatic asylum. During the war it was converted to a hospital for the wounded. It has now been sympathetically converted into superb private dwellings offering modern accommodation while maintaining many of the original features.
Enter the gated tree lined driveway and House of Daviot will appear before you, commanding breath taking views over the 9 acre estate and surrounding countryside.
