DESCRIPTION
Mansefield is an immaculate 5-bedroom Georgian property nestled in the heart of Kelso. The detached property sits in about 0.35 acres of beautiful and private garden grounds. Originating as a Manse the property has also been a former part of the Kelso laundry and a working doctor’s surgery. With that in mind the charming house has not lost its traditional layout, wonderful characteristics and Georgian features. The property is finished off to a high standard and has been well maintained over the years.

Mansefield is accessed via a private driveway which leads to gravelled area, allowing for ample parking together with a wood-built garage. There are two handsome public rooms to the front allowing a wealth of natural light from the grand Georgian style windows with views into the well-kept garden grounds. The light third public room is currently utilised as an office. The modern dining room kitchen leads through double patio doors to an outside seating area making for a perfect entertaining space and al fresco dining.
