Property description
Burnside House is a traditional nineteenth century stone and slate built property that also benefits from outstanding countryside views. The accommodation is on three floors. On the ground floor there is: an entrance vestibule; reception hallway; w.c. with wash hand basin; sitting room; dining room; lounge with adjacent entertainment area including attractive bar and pool table; office/study; large conservatory; utility room; dining kitchen. Both the lounge and sitting room have multi-fuel stoves. On the first floor are 6 bedrooms (4 en- suite) and a family bathroom with w.c. Both floors incorporate high performance triple glazing throughout. A recently developed loft area provides a terrific space that may be used as an additional bedroom, home office or playroom. There is a large mature garden to the side of the house and a courtyard to the rear which provides access to a further large garden area, and extensive woodland belonging to the property. Within the woodland area there is also a ruinous stone mill building which previously had planning permission to convert to residential accommodation.
Located on Cupar Road, a short drive east from the Fife village of Newburgh, the property sits alongside the A913 which connects the City of Perth and Cupar, which are both around 20 minutes by car. There is also easy access to St. Andrews and Glenrothes, with the City of Dundee being only 25 minutes away. The Kingdom of Fife has a wealth of places of interest such as the many charming fishing villages around the coast, Falkland Palace, plus St. Andrews,the "home of golf", all of which are easily accessible by road.
