History Tullynessle House is a stunning example of a Georgian Category B listed former manse which dates back to 1804 and had been extended to the rear by The manse was built to serve the nearby Tullynessle and Forbes Church which is now owned by the local community and holds occasional services throughout the year. The property s architectural merit has been greatly appreciated by many, including Ian Shepherd who described Tullynessle House as a fine example of the prosperity of the rural clergy of old in Aberdeenshire: Donside and Strathbogie, an Illustrated Architectural Guide (RIAS, 2006). Description A tree lined driveway runs up to the house through beautifully tended gardens and woodland through which a small stream flows. Stone steps with wrought iron balustrades lead up to the front door with a fanlight above. An entrance vestibule with its original tiled floor leads into a bright and spacious hall with beautiful cornicing. The drawing room and the dining room open off either side of the hall. The drawing room is generous in both proportions and light, with three windows, all with working shutters, ensuring an abundance of light fills the room. A beautiful open fireplace with Jetmaster fire, stone hearth and timber mantelpiece provides a focal point to this splendid room. Across the hallway is the bright, double aspect dining room with an arched sideboard recess and a multi-fuel stove set in an attractive fireplace. The inner hallway is on split levels with doors to the sitting room, the rear hallway and the basement. The sitting room has two west facing windows and a useful built in cupboard and leads through to the spacious dining kitchen which is fitted with a wide range of solid wood wall and base units supplied by Drumoak Kitchens. The Aga also supplies hot water to the rear wing of the property. Completing the ground floor, off the rear hall, are a utility room with a Belfast style sink and a separate wc with a white two piece suite.
