It’s no secret that Cults is one of the most sought-after suburbs of Aberdeen for those looking for their perfect home. But what is it that makes this charming location so appealing?

At Cala, we have been helping to shape Cults for the past ten years, building more than 230 homes, plus key infrastructure across seven developments, including our latest neighbourhood, Friarsfield West. Here, we highlight the top reasons to consider making Cults home, with stunning photos of the area taken by our talented Engineering Manager, Mark Bisset, who is rather fond of Cults himself...

 

1. Accessible amenities – with a real village feel, you’re only ever a short walk away from all of the local amenities you could need, whether that’s a pint of milk from the supermarket, a coffee from Blether, dinner at The Cults Hotel, not to mention chemists, opticians, hairdressers and even a spa at the Marcliffe Hotel.

 

2. Top of the class – Cults Primary School and Cults Academy have great track records supporting children through their education. The high school even has a great pool and gym that locals can access.

 

3. Wonderful walks – Looking for a neighbourhood with easy access to picturesque strolls? Cults has some spectacular woodland walks such as Foggieton Woods and the Deeside line is also a lovely route, leading into the city centre or along Deeside to Banchory and beyond. It’s great for cyclists and families looking for a safe path to follow.

4. Location, location, location – Cults enjoys the best of both worlds, it has a charming village vibe and is surrounded by beautiful scenery but is also just a short journey (around four miles) away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre and isn’t far from the bypass leading south to Stonehaven or North into Aberdeenshire and beyond.

 

5. Perfect parks – Locals can enjoy the sights of Allan Park and nearby Hazelhead Park, perfect for family days out or dog walking adventures.

 

6. Tee-rific golf – Golf lovers can enjoy the renowned and exclusive Deeside Golf Club. The local tennis club is also popular.

 

7. Marvellous gatherings – Cults has a fantastic line up of local events bringing the community together. Hotly anticipated dates for the diary include the Cults, Bieldside and Milltimber Festival which takes place in August.

8. Inspiring hobbies – Always fancied taking up canoeing, karate or cricket? You’d be amazed by the number of local classes, groups and clubs in the area with something to capture the interest of everyone.

 

9. Breath-taking wildlife – As well as the locals, Cults is home to some fabulous animal residents who enjoy the spectacular scenery as much as we do. You don’t have to go far to find beautiful horses and you might also come across red squirrels, roe deer, foxes, badgers and birds, particularly around Inchgarth reservoir.

10. Community spirit – That popular Aussie soap wasn’t wrong when it said everybody needs good neighbours who become good friends. Across the seven developments Cala has built in Cults, you’ll find a fantastic sense of community spirit.

 

Friarsfield West is Cala’s final phase of its Cults masterplan and comprises a selection of two, three, four and five bedroom homes. To become part of this thriving community and enjoy all the wonderful benefits of Cults, contact our sales team.
