Bremner first came into the limelight in 1985, when his single, N-N-Nineteen Not Out has made a big impression by splashing out pounds 1.4million on a country mansion. And the Edinburgh-born mimic will return to his roots when he moves into nine-bedroomed Crailing House, near Jedburgh, Roxburghshire. But he is not expected to move his family from their Cotswolds home for at least a year while modernisation work takes place at the A-listed property. The 48-year-old satirist has been involved in a number of projects in the Borders and his wife Tessa - with whom he has two daughters Ava and Lila - hails from the area and her family still live there. Her father Patrick Campbell-Fraser said: "Both Rory and Tessa love the Borders and the family is delighted they will be moving here closer to us." Crailing House has been described by the selling agents as "regency splendour in a parkland setting." The house also has three reception rooms, four bathrooms and is set in 28 acres of land. CAPTION(S): REGENCY SPLENDOUR: A-listed Crailing House boasts nine bedrooms TO THE MANNERISM mannerism, a style in art and architecture (c.1520–1600), originating in Italy as a reaction against the equilibrium of form and proportions characteristic of the High Renaissance.
