Offering an opportunity to live in a former gamekeepers cottage and run separate self-catering holiday accommodation in a beautiful countryside setting, this portfolio includes a four-bedroom main house, two charming one-bedroom log cabin apartments, and a stone-built bothy, within a traditional courtyard - located just a mile from the village of Ladybank.

This truly unique opportunity offers a four-bedroom main house, two charming one-bedroom log cabin apartments and a one-bedroom bothy, with the opportunity to live and run holiday accommodation on the same site.

The properties are set on a generous plot surrounded by picturesque Fife countryside and just a short stroll from scenic woodland, whilst also being just a mile from Ladybank and approximately six miles from Cupar. The grounds include mature gardens with a music/ garden studio, two stables, greenhouse and large private courtyard with ample parking.

A welcoming hallway with solid wood front door and solid oak flooring invites you into this country home. The hall has under-stair storage.

The living room is a charming and characterful space, with exposed beams, solid wood flooring, chic navy-blue décor, and a warming multi-fuel stove. The room is illuminated by dual-aspect windows, the larger of which is enviably south-facing, whilst plenty of floorspace allows for various configurations of lounge furniture.

The spacious conservatory/breakfast room - with solid oak flooring throughout - enjoys an open-plan layout leading to the kitchen and offers a particularly versatile footprint for a variety of furniture to suit a new owner. Currently set up as a sociable dining/family room, it has been previously used as a breakfast room for paying guests and also for yoga and art classes. The conservatory is filled with natural light with French doors opening onto the tree-filled garden with mature pond.

The kitchen is well-equipped with a wide range of stylish, timeless cabinetry, including a large central island with a wealth of storage and a large solid wood worktop.

A laundry/bootroom supplements the kitchen and houses additional cabinetry, workspace, eye-catching floor tiling, a handy clothes pulley, and space for appliances, as well as external access.

The bedrooms are all on the first floor, approached via a staircase and landing with built-in storage. The dual-aspect principal bedroom is particularly spacious and supplemented by a large built-in wardrobe, whilst two of the remaining bedrooms are illuminated by skylight windows. The fourth bedroom is currently being utilised as a home office with stunning views over the surrounding countryside, highlighting the home’s versatility and ideal for those requiring a quiet space to work or study from home.

The home has two well-appointed washrooms – a shower room on the ground-floor and a family bathroom on the first floor. The shower room comprises a large shower enclosure with a rainfall showerhead, a WC-suite set into a vanity unit, and shelved storage. The family bathroom is stylishly tiled and comes complete with a freestanding bathtub, a corner shower enclosure with a rainfall showerhead, a vanity unit with an inset basin, a WC, and a chrome towel radiator. The home is kept warm by an LPG-fired central heating system (with a Worcester combi boiler) and benefits from double-glazed windows throughout.

The log cabins apartments are set up as self catering accommodation. Made from solid logs each spacious apartment has it’s own private entrance, open plan kitchen, living and dining area with adjoining double bedroom and en-suite shower room. An additional bedroom with en-suite facilities can also be utilised. Each apartment has it’s own private outdoor hot tub and patio area.

It includes a bright and spacious open-plan kitchen (with modern cabinetry, fixtures and fittings), living and dining room with French doors opening onto a private garden area, as well as a double bedroom, and a bathroom comprising a bath with an overhead shower and a glazed screen, and a WC-suite.

Nearby Cupar offers a wider selection of shops including high-street stores and supermarkets, as well as a range of cafes, coffee shops, restaurants and takeaways, and banks. Cupar is also home to a sports centre which features a gym, a timetable of fitness classes, a swimming pool, a sports hall, squash courts and outdoor sports pitches. If being outdoors is more your thing, Ladybank is surrounded by scenic countryside and, for the golf enthusiast, the village has its own golf club.

To keep the children entertained, Ladybank Youth Club hosts a breakfast club, an after- school club, and a holiday club for children of primary and secondary-school age.

The village is served by a number of bus links across the county, as well as regular rail services from the train station to Edinburgh, Inverness, Arbroath, and Perth. Owing to the close proximity of major road links, travelling by car across the county, into the capital and further afield couldn’t be easier.
