House For Sale £685,000
Beautifully refurbished riverside townhouse.
Description
3 Mansfield Place is one of only four terraced townhouses in Mansfield Place. Dating from about 1840, the house is Category B Listed on account of its beautiful Georgian style proportions and features. The house is deceptively large, with five bedrooms over three storeys and has recently undergone a complete programme of refurbishment. The front door, framed by Doric columns, opens to a vestibule and then to a welcoming reception hall. At the front of the house the formal sitting room has a large astragal window (with shutters) and overlooks the garden and river. It has an open fireplace and oak flooring. Behind is the dining room with a wood burning stove. This would also make a cosy sitting room, playroom or office. A glazed door from the hall leads to the kitchen. With its bespoke painted timber cabinets, range of integrated appliances and a sociable central island with Quooker tap, the kitchen is a highlight of the house. Southerly light streams through its windows which overlook the courtyard garden. At one end of the kitchen a relaxing sitting area would also work well for dining. At the back of the house the rear hall has a door to the courtyard garden, a utility area and a back stair. Beyond is a fabulous newly fitted bathroom with walk in shower; a boot/utility room and access to the garage.
The elegant front staircase leads to both an upper and a lower landing. Off the upper landing there is an impressive principal bedroom overlooking the garden, a further double bedroom, a study and a shower room. A door on the upper landing hides a small stair to a large attic bedroom which spans the width of the house and has a superb view over Perth to the hills beyond. The lower landing leads to two further connected double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room and one with direct access to the back stair. The accommodation at 3 Mansfield Place has been beautifully and sympathetically refurbished and the property is in walk in condition.
Outside
The gardens at 3 Mansfield Place are a particular feature of the property. At the rear of the house is an enclosed courtyard garden. It has recently been landscaped and is a lovely place to sit out in the morning sun. At the front of the house is a communal parking area and circular beds which are jointly maintained by the owners of Mansfield Place. From here a pedestrian gate leads to a private garden which stretches down towards the river. A paved terrace at the top of the garden is ideal for garden furniture and the remainder of the garden is neat lawn. A stretch of riverbank at the foot of the garden is communally owned by Mansfield Place and is a magical place to sit and watch the river flow by.
Outbuildings
Single garage with electric charging point.
Timber garden shed.
