4 bedroom detached house

SITUATION
The Yews sits on a leafy edge of the hamlet of Kilmany in North East Fife, a short distance to the north of the popular town of Cupar in North East Fife. Cupar offers a superb range of local facilities and amenities with a good selection of shops, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants and the like, while just a short drive to the east lies the ancient and historic university town of St. Andrews, renowned world wide as the “Home of Golf”. Seven miles or so to the north over the River Tay lies Dundee, a city very much on the up which is home to Scott’s ship RSS Discovery and the V & A museum.

Dundee provides a comprehensive offering of city shops, services and amenities whilst Perth is just over half an hour to the north-west and Edinburgh about a one-hour drive to the south. Surrounding Kilmany is some particularly fine countryside with a lovely mix of farmland, woodland, hill and river. The area is home to an array of wildlife and provides great scope for the outdoor enthusiast with walking, cycling and riding all readily available. There are many highly regarded golf courses in the area including championship courses at Carnoustie and the Old Course at St. Andrews, both of which regularly host the British Open. Ladybank, The Duke’s Course, Kingsbarns, Elie, Lundin Links and Crail are also nearby, whilst the wide open spaces of the Lomond Hills and the pretty fishing villages of Fife’s quaint East Neuk such as Anstruther, Pittenweem and St Monans are within comfortable driving distance. In terms of days out there are good sandy beaches at St. Andrews, Elie, Kingsbarns and Tentsmuir, along with a number of popular National Trust for Scotland properties, including Hill of Tarvit, Falkland Palace and Kellie Castle.

There are railway stations in Cupar, Leuchars and Ladybank with Edinburgh airport about one hour to the south. The regional airport at Dundee offers a good selection of short haul flights.

DESCRIPTION
Approached through an imposing hedged entrance from the heart of the attractive village, The Yews was built in 2001 in a retrospective Arts and Crafts style. The accommodation is beautifully proportioned and laid out over two levels extending to circa 205 sqm. The ground floor boasts warm toned engineered oak throughout which, together with the abundance of windows, combine to make the house feel both bright and cosy. The entrance hall leads through glazed doors into a large sitting room taking up the whole depth of the house and has windows to both the north and south. There is a multifuel stove and chimney breast installed in 2011 in keeping with the style of the house. A large conservatory opens off the living room and on the other side, the dining room has French windows onto the garden at the back of the house. The kitchen/breakfast room is accessed from both the hall and the dining room and comes with integrated Neff appliances, including an induction hob, double oven, dishwasher and fridge-freezer. To the rear of the kitchen, the utility room has a door to the double garage.

A mahogany staircase takes you to the first floor. The landing leads to the master bedroom with an en suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes, and three further double bedrooms. The family bathroom also has both a shower and a bath. A Megaflow hot water system is found in the airing cupboard.

The garden is thoughtfully planted with many colourful shrubs and mature trees including the majestic yews that give the house its name, ensuring both privacy and a sense of space. In front of the garage is parking for two cars, with further parking on the gravelled area. To the west of the garden is found a small glazed garden shed.
