Braehead House, Kirkcaldy, KY1

Creatively renovated first floor 2 bed apartment with parking, set in a magnificent and substantial Grade 'B' Listed Building which lies 3/4 of a mile to NE of Kirkcaldy town centre. Braehead House overlooks the Firth of Forth from its terraced garden elevation and was originally built as the headquarters of Nairn's Linoleum Ltd in 1939 and was thereafter professionally converted to form luxury executive apartments in 1994. Excellent town centre facilities and amenities are available within a few minutes walk, including the train station.

Entrance is via the main security door at the front, which you will arrive at after entering the walled and gated private gardens and parked in the common parking area at the front of the house. Entering into the spectacular main grand hall you will find a lift and a staircase leading to the upper levels of the spectacular apartment building.

This peaceful apartment marries pared-back period features with a contemporary aesthetic to create generous rooms bathed with natural light and has been the subject of considerable, quality renovation by the current owner, sensitively retaining period features, with the result being a wonderful marriage between voluminous proportions and a fine, soft palette, culminating in interior spaces that are at once sophisticated and serene. Unique features include high ceilings and large feature windows in the spacious open plan lounge / dining kitchen area, 2 double bedrooms and luxury shower-room with large cubicle and bidet attachment. The high-quality kitchen has recently been installed and with integral appliances including induction hob, dishwasher, boiling hot water tap, full length fridge-freezer. The shower-room is also new and high quality. Both bedrooms are double and offer plenty of floor-space and bedroom 1 enjoys a fitted wardrobe space. There is a large walk-in utility area in the hallway and the washing machine will remain. There is a generous sized store-room on the first floor of the building and a communal bike-shed.
