The formal entrance to the property is located on the front elevation, leading through a vestibule and into the central hall. A welcoming family lounge is positioned to the front of the property, a vibrant room, perfectly positioned to take in the wonderful views to the front. An open grate fire is set within an ornate fire surround, offering warmth and comfort in equal measure. A doorway leads from the long to a central room, currently configured as a home office or study. This room can also be accessed from the hallway.
To the left of the property, a lovely dining room enjoys a bright an airy feel, the perfect place to entertain family and friends. A glazed door gives access to the front gardens. The room links to a stylish kitchen, fitted with a range of heritage-style white wall and floor units, complimented by a solid wooden worktop. The layout features a number of integrated appliances including electric oven and gas hob, with space for undercounter washing machine, dryer, dishwasher and fridge. The kitchen can also be accessed directly from the rear garden area, with a recently installed glazed composite door opening to the front.
Also located on the ground floor, a ground floor bedroom is positioned to the rear, catering for guests with mobility difficulties. A ground floor shower room is also located adjacent to the main entrance.
The staircase ascends from the hall to give access to the upper floor, where a central landing links two further bedrooms, each of which enjoys far-reaching views across Tobermory Bay to the Sound of Mull. A family bathroom is also located on the upper floor, featuring full sized bath and traditional bathroom suite. A cupboard within the bathroom offers an element of storage, also housing the hot water heating cylinder. Further storage is found under the staircase on the ground floor.
This charming property combines original architectural features with modern conveniences, creating a unique and inviting living space. The house showcases Telford’s signature attention to detail and craftsmanship, resulting in a beautifully presented family home. Interest is likely to be high, and early viewing is recommended.

Mansefield sits within mature gardens extending to an area of 0.47 acres. The property is accessed from the road by a private, gated driveway, leading to a parking area at the rear of the house.
A large area of lawn is located to the north, creating a wonderful, safe environment for children to play. A number of mature trees form the boundary, with many carefully chosen species plants offering a seasonal display throughout the year. The side and lower gardens are accessed by various pathways. A garden shed sits adjacent to the house, offering dry storage as required.
Two outbuilding are positioned within the grounds, a detached garage and bothy, both of which previously benefited from combined planning permission in principle for the development of a detached holiday cottage, offering scope for rental accommodation in the much sought-after area of Argyll.
