The very first thing that attracted me to Countesswells was the layout, it appealed to me straightaway. There are plenty of trees and green areas so it felt quite spacious and the mixture of styles of houses, together with the way the streets look, made me feel it would be a lovely place to have a home.
I’d previously lived in a flat so buying a new house was a really good move for me, my home is in a small street and having the extra space and especially a garden is great. At the moment there are just the two of us but I’ve a baby on the way so schools were an important part in choosing a new home, there are going to be two new primary schools and a secondary school built in this area in the next few years so that really appealed to me.
Countesswells is a good place for families, it’s got that rural feeling but everything you need is close by. It’s in a pretty, rural area and the forest is nearby. There are little shops and a couple of pubs in the Kingswells area and Aberdeen, with all the major attractions, isn’t that far away. I wanted to live in an area that would be a good place to raise my family. It’s somewhere that I can see myself living for sometime to come.
