Glenseaton Lodge dates back to the 14th century when it was originally a two-roomed miller's cottage.

John Forbes White, a patron of several Scottish artists in the 1860s commissioned Daniel Cottier to design, build and decorate the main drawing room and dining room. Cottier was a pre-Raphaelite stained glass artist and interior designer based in Glasgow and later in New York and Australia. His painting, stencilling and furniture grace the two big rooms he built along with the original marble and stone fireplaces. Examples of his work can also be found in the stained glass windows of St Machar's Cathedral across the river from Glenseaton. Arthur Melville, an artist friend of White likened the then Seaton Cottage to that described in a short poem by R.L Stevenson.


Go, little book, and wish to all

Flowers in a garden, meat in the hall

A bin of wine, a spice of wit

A house with lawns encircling it

A living river at the door

A nightingale in the sycamore


This stunning family home is full of character and period features and the accommodation is set over three levels, with a section of the property containing a potential self-contained flat. The attention to detail is evident throughout, highlighting the exquisite craftsmanship of the original era.
At ground floor level are the main reception rooms, which include a south facing sitting room and elegant drawing room with yellow pine floor. A Door leads into the dining room with vaulted cedar wood ceiling and oak floor with large bay windows and doors to the garden.
The large family kitchen and utility room are on the lower ground floor with an eastern aspect with back door and access to the apartment. Access to the separate apartment can also be found in the main hallway.
On the first floor is a feature landing with large storage cupboard, and gothic doors to the four large bedrooms, all with lead pane windows. Two bedrooms have fitted gothic style wardrobes. There is also a single bedroom/office on this level. There is a family bathroom with separate shower and Jacuzzi bath.
The potential self-contained apartment would share the back door, but then includes a bedroom and a bathroom on the lower ground floor and a secondary kitchen and sitting/dining room on the ground floor.
A significant part of the house was re-roofed and the whole property rewired in 2014.
