Description
The opportunity to acquire a period mansion house 2,184 M2 (Internally) steeped in local history yet only built in 1911 which has been fully refurbished with such meticulous attention to detail is rare indeed. The current owners have purchased it as their family home in the mid 90s and lavished much energy, passion and expense to ensure that Tillycorthie Mansion House was reinstated to its former glory.
