5 bedroom house for sale

Tenure: Freehold

Situation

Sandon has a wonderful setting close to Largo Law, with fabulous views over beautiful rolling countryside to the Firth of Forth. On a clear day the distant Lammermuir Hills can be seen.

The house is surrounded by farmland. Balcormo, host to the Fife Point to Point, is only a mile away. Largo Law is a notable hill which dominates the Fife coastline. It is in the East Neuk of Fife which boasts fishing villages built around picturesque harbours and sandy unspoilt beaches. St Andrews, "the home of golf", is only 11 miles away and has one of the oldest universities in Britain. There is good private and state schooling in St Andrews, and Dundee and Kirkcaldy are both within easy reach. There are many golf courses in the area, including new courses at Charleton, Kingsbarns and St Andrews Bay and traditional links courses at Elie, Crail, Leven and Lundin Links.

Elie (7 miles) is arguably Scotland's most popular seaside village, with many professional families from Edinburgh and Glasgow enjoying holiday homes there. Nearby, The Peat Inn is one of Scotland's best restaurants.

The house is accessible to Edinburgh and its airport which are easily reached by the A92 dual carriageway from Kirkcaldy (14 miles) and the Forth Road Bridge. Dundee Airport is only 23 miles to the north. There is a mainline railway station at Kirkcaldy.
