General Description
Enjoying a rural location but with easy access to the village of Dairsie along with Cupar and St Andrews, this three-bedroom cottage in an exclusive steading development promises a lifestyle of comfort and convenience. Nestled in picturesque rolling countryside, this charming former farm steading welcomes you with a bright entrance hallway leading to an impressive dining kitchen and adjoining sunroom. The generously proportioned L-shaped kitchen maximises space with white under-base lit wall and floor units, smooth grey worktops, and a tiled splashback. It boasts a full suite of integrated appliances, including an induction hob, extractor hood, and eye-level BOSCH oven. With handsome wooden flooring and a serene colour palette, this fantastic room is perfect for day-to-day family life and entertaining, enhanced by French doors opening into the sunroom. The sunroom offers multiple uses, from a cosy snug with west-facing courtyard access to a retreat for older children, making it a fantastic addition to the home. The ground floor also features two tastefully decorated bedrooms with built-in storage: one a comfortable single, the other a spacious double. A guest WC completes the ground floor. Ascending the wooden staircase from the hall, you arrive at a dual-aspect living room flooded with natural light, allowing for various furniture configurations and boasting an elegant interior design.
