B Listed family house with character and the opportunity to upgrade.
Description
Craigrothie House is an extensive family home full of traditional character, dating back to the 1730s. The house and its icehouse are both Category B Listed, and this sale presents an exciting opportunity to reconfigure and upgrade the accommodation, subject to obtaining the required consents.
The front door opens up into the spacious vestibule with its attractive tiled floor. The entrance hall sits beyond from which the beautiful curved staircase leads to the upper levels, and a separate staircase leads down to the vaulted cellar which is split into four areas. The bow-ended sitting / dining room is magnificent, and features a high ceiling, large arched alcove, fireplace with marble mantel, and windows with working shutters overlooking the front garden. The adjacent kitchen overlooks the courtyard and is large enough to accommodate a dining or family area. There is a WC and utility room off a small back hall.
On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms and a study / bedroom 5 overlooking the front garden. These share a family bathroom off the landing. There is also a generously-sized first floor drawing room that again has lovely garden views, and a store cupboard. The floor above is currently purposed as a principal bedroom suite, with en suite shower room and separate dressing room. The top floor provides three attic rooms.
The integral flat at Craigrothie House sits on the ground floor and can be accessed from either the main entrance hall, or its own external doors to the rear and side of the house. The sitting / dining room has a fireplace, and double doors that open out into the garden. The kitchen sits adjacent. The bedroom in the annexe is fitted with wardrobes, and there is also a bathroom.
Garden and outhouses
There is an excellent range of outhouses at Craigrothie House, including the round icehouse which is now used as a store. To the north of the house is a garage, a separate store (once a doocot) and boiler room, all set off a passageway which can be accessed from the kitchen.
The gravelled driveway passes through stone pillars with wrought iron gates and sweeps through the garden up to the front of the house where there is a large parking area. Mature shrubs and trees enclose the lawned garden, providing it with great shelter and privacy. A gate opens into the walled courtyard which sits to the front of the kitchen.
Location
Craigrothie House sits in a peaceful hamlet, nestled in the rolling Fife countryside, about 2.5 miles south of Cupar. The property is easily accessible with its good commuting links to Edinburgh and Edinburgh Airport (40 miles), both within easy reach via the dual carriageway at Glenrothes (12 miles) and the M90. Dundee Airport (18 miles), with scheduled flights to London Heathrow, is also readily accessible to the north via the Tay Road Bridge. There is a railway station at Cupar with regular services to Edinburgh and on to London. The popular university town of St Andrews is also within 9 miles.
The property is well placed for a variety of recreational activities but the area is particularly famed for its association with golf. There is an excellent range of golf courses in the vicinity ranging from the championship course at Ladybank (7 miles) and Cupar Golf Club, to The Old Course in St Andrews, renowned worldwide as the 'Home of Golf' and regular host to the Open Championship.
There are primary schools in Craigrothie and in nearby Ceres, and local shops in Ceres. Cupar is a thriving market town which provides all essential local facilities including a good range of shops, professional services, supermarkets and local secondary schooling. The region also has a number of private schools for all ages including St Leonards in St Andrews and the High School of Dundee.
