A rare and magnificent former Manse set within enchanting walled gardens.

Steeped in history and architectural distinction, this exceptional detached residence dates back to 1888 and showcases a rare blend of period grandeur and contemporary comfort. Originally commissioned as the historic manse for Craigiebuckler Church, the property was designed by the renowned architect responsible for the prestigious Ardoe House Hotel, lending it an enduring elegance and remarkable pedigree.

The magnificent accommodation unfolds from a striking stained-glass entrance vestibule, where an abundance of natural light sets the tone for the refined interiors beyond. A welcoming reception hall, adorned with original stripped timber flooring and an elegant sweeping staircase, provides a captivating introduction to the home. Rich in character and period detail, the formal lounge features exquisite decorative cornicing, a wood-burning stove and an impressive oak overmantel, creating a warm and sophisticated setting. The double-aspect dining room enjoys delightful outlooks and centres around a charming working fireplace, making it ideal for both intimate family gatherings and larger-scale entertaining. The beautifully proportioned sitting room is bathed in natural light and opens through French doors to the private gardens, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.

At the heart of the home lies a beautifully appointed kitchen and dining space, thoughtfully designed with timeless Shaker-style cabinetry, a double oven, gas hob and a traditional Rayburn, combining practicality with classic country-house charm. A well-equipped utility room with extensive built-in storage provides additional convenience and leads to a stylish shower room.

The first floor hosts four generously proportioned bedrooms, some enhanced by elegant bay windows and fitted wardrobes, creating bright and inviting retreats. A bespoke home office, complete with custom-built bookcases, offers an inspiring and tranquil working environment. The centrally located family bathroom is superbly appointed with a bath, with shower over and vanity unit.

Meticulously maintained throughout, the property retains an abundance of original character while benefiting from modern comforts, including gas central heating and a combination of double and single glazing.

Encircling the house, the private walled gardens provide a truly enchanting and secluded sanctuary. Mature trees, established shrubs and beautifully landscaped grounds create an atmosphere of peace and privacy. The west-facing front garden captures the afternoon and evening sun, while the expansive east-facing rear garden offers a variety of seating and entertaining areas, perfectly suited to al fresco dining, family enjoyment and outdoor entertaining.
