The property is located within the west end of Aberdeen on the south side of King’s Gate between the junctions of Forest Road and Fountainhall Road.
The surrounding area is primarily residential and is within walking distance of local facilities and amenities along with Westburn Park and Victoria Park.
The subjects are also just a short distance from Anderson Drive which provides good road connections to the north and south and Aberdeen International Airport is within easy driving distance.
Public transport is also available with bus stops in both directions on the King’s Gate close to the property. Nearby schools include Mile End Primary and St Joseph’s R.C.

The property is situated within the Albyn Place / Rubislaw Conservation area and were previously used as a care home. We believe the subjects would be suitable for residential redevelopment due to the surrounding area to either a single dwelling or flats.
