General Description
This well-presented detached three-bedroom stone cottage, nestled in a tranquil hamlet just seven miles from Cupar, effortlessly blends rustic character and charm with cosy, countryside living. From the entrance foyer, you step into a versatile south-west-facing dining room complete with double sided, extra length multi fuel burner. Beyond lies a spacious dual-aspect living room, where French doors open out to the garden. With its exposed beams, polished wooden flooring, and striking double-height ceiling, this room offers a perfect blend of openness and comfort. A standout feature is the exposed stone wall, which houses the double-sided multi-fuel burner, enhancing the cottage’s warm and inviting atmosphere. Adjoining the living room is a good-sized dining kitchen with garden access. It features shaker-style wall and floor cabinetry, sleek grey worktops, and a tiled splashback, with room for freestanding appliances alongside an integrated hob and extractor hood. Also on the ground floor is a bright double bedroom and a traditionally styled family bathroom, complete with a bath, shower enclosure, WC, and washbasin. Upstairs, two carpeted double bedrooms await, each with eaves storage. The larger benefits from built-in wardrobes, while the smaller, currently used as a home office, offers excellent flexibility.
