Oaklands is a superbly built house in an exclusive development of large single storey properties enjoying a wonderful southerly aspect over farming land towards Loch Leven.

Particular features of Oaklands are the wide corridors and the American oak flooring. Internally there is a good mix of reception rooms and bedrooms making it an ideal home for a family.

Oaklands is situated in the pretty rural hamlet of Wester Balgedie and is part of a development of six similar properties. The house is located beneath the Lomond Hills and is just 5 miles from Kinross and conveniently close to the M90 motorway.
