SITUATION
The Cottage sits about 375 yards up the Gartfinnan Farm Road. It lies about 200 yards to the south of the farm steading adjacent to a disused rail track which Fife Council have bought and tarred to create a tarred cycle track. If you continue up the cycle track eastward it leads you off into thousands of acres of forestry and reservoir trails. Some of these forestry areas have been planted by the forestry commission who have formed trails e.g. Devilla Wood to Blairhall and onto Saline and Dunfermline.

LOT 1 DESCRIPTION
Unique opportunity to purchase an attractive country cottage. It is in need of upgrading and redecoration but affords the opportunity for its new owners to stamp their mark on it.

The Farm Cottage was a stone and lime cottage which has been extended and reroofed to form a five bedroom detached house. It has electric heating and many of the windows need replaced with double glazed windows but it does provide a purchaser with a unique opportunity to purchase a secluded yet central house with 3.48 acres. A conservatory has been added as well as a wet room (improvements in the downstairs shower room).

The house has EPC rating of Band F. Shared water supply with the farm. It is intended that it will be fitted with its own water meter prior to completion.

OUTSIDE
There is a car parking area to the north off the tarred cycle track. The garden extends to 0.25 acres and has a vegetable patch 28m x 8m. There is an attractive sheltered patio sitting area at the rear door between the house and the lovely monkey puzzle tree and the grass lawn area. There are a couple of woodsheds, a greenhouse and a coal store off the gated access road.

Lot 2 - 3.23 acres
This triangular block of land is to the south and south east of the house. There is a horse shelter 4m x 3m and a small 0.35 acre grass paddock. The remainder of the lands has been grown out to a mixture of wild flowers and barley this year for pheasant cover. The field is fenced and would be ideal for horses. There is a ditch up the middle of it, it is intended to pipe and infill it, but a large part of Gartfinnan Farms drainage outfalls through it. This work may have to be delayed until next summer but access to do it will be reserved. The subsequent maintenance of the ditch will also fall on the owner of the field.

If this Lot sells separately and water is required, it would have to be negotiated with the new owner of Lot 1 or the Farm and a water meter may have to be fitted with Wayleaves to service it. There is a gas pipeline and an electricity wayleave for overhead lines at its east end.

Lot 3 - 2.72 acres west of the house
This is a good grass field with a metalled track up its eastern edge, over which access will be reserved for Lot 2. The farm owns farmland to the south and also requires SAFE and SECURE access for livestock and farm vehicles. There is a water trough in the field.

DIRECTIONS
From Clackmannanshire Bridge:
From the new Clackmannanshire Bridge head north (not to Kincardine) to the first roundabout towards Clackmannan/Alloa. Take the first left and then third left at the next roundabout 400 yards later, up the Kinross Road, A977. After about a half mile turn right into Gartfinnan Farm Road (at the for sale sign) next to the disused rail. After 300 yards turn right at the fork in the road. The farm is up on the left and the cottage for sale is on the right next to the tarred cycle track/disused rail line.

From Kinross:
From the M90 head west out the A977 Kincardine Road. Go through Crook of Devon, Powmill, Blairingone and Forestmill. After 2 miles you see some industrial buildings on the right. Turn next left into Gartfinnan Farm and continue as above.

AMENITIES
Forestmill is a small hamlet with the Black Devon River running through it to Clackmannan. The local Primary School is 2.8 miles away at Clackmannan Primary School with Secondary School at Alloa Academy 5 miles away, and the private school of Dollar Academy 6 miles away. Alloa train station is only 5 miles away, with a variety of shops, restaurants, petrol stations and supermarkets close by in Clackmannan.

The property has excellent road links to Dunfermline, Falkirk, Kinross, Edinburgh and Glasgow. There are golf courses at Kincardine, Muckhart and Kinross, and Page 6 shows how the cycle track provides superb access into local walking and hacking at Devilla Woods and thousands of other acres of land.
