Property description
Offering all one might expect from a Georgian Manse, Mansefield is B-listed and sits majestically in the heart of the village of Ceres and within walking distance to village pubs and restaurants.
Fine period features have been married with contemporary fixtures to create a stunning home of note, substance and comfort with an elegant âcountryâ feel. Rooms are of Georgian proportion, so well suited for todayâs modern lifestyle and growing trend for gracious entertaining.
The main block, having been built in 1788 and with the drawing room and offices extension built circa mid 1800âs, has been lovingly restored by its current owners and offers exceptional accommodation which is ideal for growing families.
The property is enclosed by stone walls and hedging with a gated entrance onto a gravel drive with ample parking for several vehicles. The gardens are beautifully landscaped yet of a manageable size and offers lovely views over the village and neighbouring Fife farmland.
A glance at the floor plan will help to illustrate the room layouts. However, only viewing will confirm the superb luxury feel and move-in condition of this superb home which has been meticulously maintained and offers excellent accommodation by todayâs expectations.
Formed over four levels, the accommodation is commodious and briefly comprises:
Ground floor: a large entrance vestibule with a partially glazed inner door into the main entrance hall. The beautifully proportioned drawing room has dual aspect windows to the North West and North East, one of the many features being a fireplace with an inset open Jetmaster fire basket. The substantial and elegant dining room is across the reception hall and has large windows to the southwest and northwest, three traditional presses and a fireplace. Opposite, the morning room features an open fireplace, exposed timber flooring and a window overlooking the garden. Next to the dining room is a guest cloakroom with W.C. and W.H.B. with an outer area for coats. The adjacent kitchen has a range of fitted base and wall units in a country style, ceiling height display shelves, a range cooker, dishwasher and fridge. A corridor leads from here with boot room/larder to the left and laundry to the right. At the end is the conservatory, which has two doors on to different parts of the garden and a slate floor, a vantage point from which to enjoy the gardens all year round.
First floor: from the main reception hall a stone turning staircase lit by a large window leads up to the first floor. There are four bedrooms here, all of which have fireplaces with decorative cast iron insets and windows with working shutters. There is also a library with fireplace and impressive fitted bookshelves with cupboards below, a walk-in linen cupboard, and a sewing room, which could also be used as a single bedroom. Two bathrooms, each with WC, wash hand basin and bath with shower over, complete the accommodation on this level.
Second floor: from the first floor landing the curving staircase, with a rooflight above, continues up to the second floor accommodation. Here there are two further good sized double bedrooms with Velux windows and slight coombes. One of the bedrooms also has a traditional window with a wonderful view to the northwest over the neighbouring farmland to the Hill of Tarvit. On this floor there is also a shower room with WC, wash hand basin and shower cubicle. A door leads through from the upper landing to spacious floored attic currently utilised for storage with workbench area. This area would make an ideal play room or home cinema with easy access from the hall.
Basement level: back to the main entrance hall, a turning staircase leads down to the basement, where a corridor is with fitted bookshelves. This leads through to a basement room with fitted cupboards and currently used as a television room.
