Property description
The property
Milldeans House is a handsome period property, set in the heart of the rolling Fife countryside. The property offers a significant development opportunity with its splendid main house and more than 2,000 square feet of historic stone-built outbuildings, which have fallen into disrepair.

The house itself features impressive stone elevations. The ground floor enjoys a the sitting room and bedroom at the front, as well as a dual aspect sitting room towards the rear. Both the sitting room bedroom enjoy south-facing sash windows welcoming plenty of sunlight, while sitting room and bedroom have open fireplaces with tiled surrounds. Additionally, the ground floor has a kitchen with fitted units to base and wall level and a stainless steel sink and drainer, plus space for all the necessary appliances.

The staircase leads from the reception hall to the first-floor landing with its skylight overhead, off which there are two double bedrooms. Both bedrooms face south, with views across the surrounding fields. One of the bedrooms features an original cast-iron fireplace, while the other has a door leading to a 27ft eaves store room, which has the potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. Throughout the house, the décor is neutral and understated, and could benefit from some modernisation.

Outside
The property is set within a generous plot. The main house sits within a corner of the plot, and is accessed via a driveway, which opens onto a courtyard and parking area. The garden to the front and rear of the house is laid to lawn with border hedgerows, but offers the potential for landscaping. Sitting around the courtyard, the two main stone outbuildings are in a state of disrepair but offer significant potential for development into workshop and storage space, or potentially further accommodation, subject to all the relevant regulations and permissions. In addition to the two stone barns there are three storage sheds. The grounds extend beyond the barns, to a large paddock, bordered by post and rail fencing..
