Located just a mile from the quaint village of Garmond, Upper Glenpark is a stunning steading that has been a cherished family home for John and Shona Clark since 2014. This property, nestled near Cuminestown and only 15 minutes from Turriff, is a perfect blend of rural charm and modern convenience, making it an ideal choice for families seeking a peaceful lifestyle.
Spacious living for a growing family
With four generously sized bedrooms and ample outdoor space, Upper Glenpark is designed to accommodate the needs of a young family. The Clarks, who share their home with their daughters Sophie and Lucy, as well as their beloved pets, emphasize the importance of space in their daily lives.
“The main thing we have enjoyed while living at the house is the space – it’s a large space, but it flows due to the nature of the steading,” says John, who works offshore.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the modern kitchen, which features a Belfast sink that adds a touch of nostalgia. This open-plan area is perfect for family gatherings, cooking, and casual dining, making it a favorite spot for the family throughout the day. The bright and neutral decor throughout the home enhances the feeling of spaciousness, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Exceptional outdoor spaces
One of the standout features of Upper Glenpark is its extensive outdoor area. The couple has transformed the surroundings into a beautiful space for relaxation and entertainment. With a large decking area, tarmacked pathways, and a bespoke summer house, the outdoor environment is perfect for alfresco dining and summer get-togethers. “John likes to barbecue, so we have had a few great summer get-togethers over the years, making the best use of the outside,” Shona shares.
The property also boasts sheltered corners and sun traps, allowing the family to enjoy the outdoors from early spring to late autumn. Additionally, the location offers breathtaking views of the Northern Lights and opportunities to spot local wildlife, including badgers and deer, making it a nature lover’s paradise.
A perfect blend of comfort and tranquility
For the Clarks, Upper Glenpark is not just a house; it’s a sanctuary that combines comfort with tranquility. Shona highlights the serene location and spacious accommodation as key factors that make their home special. “Every window has a great view, it’s a solid house and built to last,” she notes. The property’s layout provides a wonderful mix of social spaces and quiet nooks, ideal for both family gatherings and moments of solitude.
As they prepare to pass on their beloved home, the Clarks hope to find a family that will appreciate the unique features and peaceful lifestyle that Upper Glenpark offers. Currently on the market for offers over £430,000, this charming steading is a rare find in the picturesque countryside of Aberdeenshire.
