Frogfield, a prestigious Victorian mansion house noted in several architectural guides, is situated in the Kincardineshire town of Laurencekirk.
The stone built house has a lovely secluded and leafy setting with more than three acres of gardens and grounds and yet is within easy walking distance of the local high street. It is on the market for offers £475,000.
Elegant and imposing, the home remains unspoilt, retaining many original features including a splendid staircase rising up from the grand reception hallway.
Decorative cornicing and ceiling roses are also evident, particularly in the wonderfully proportioned drawing room, which at around 27 x 22 feet has all the scale and grandeur you would expect from a fine 19th century reception room.
In addition there is a bright and cosy double aspect sitting room with fireplace, while the dining room also has windows on two sides and working shutters. The kitchen is a good size and includes a cream four oven Aga. There is a useful downstairs shower room.
Upstairs and off the generous landing are five bedrooms including the master which boasts an elaborate panelled ceiling and fireplace. There is also a family bathroom.
The principal house at Frogfield is supplemented by a self contained one bedroom annexe, which would make an ideal holiday let or ‘granny flat’ or could easily be incorporated into the main house.
There is also a former coach house and stables which while currently providing useful storage could, with the relevant planning consent, have development potential.
The gardens and grounds are extensive and a delight; they include lawns, established rose beds edged with box, well planted borders, greenhouses, a vegetable garden and woodland, with many specimen trees.
Savills director, Ruaraidh Ogilvie said: “Frogfield combines the elegance and privacy of a large country house with the convenience of a town location. The development potential of the stables and multi-use annexe make this fine Victorian property an enticing prospect.”
