Description

This two-bedroom detached cottage presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. Set on an expansive plot, the home boasts stunning views and is located in a desirable village that balances tranquillity with accessibility. With local amenities within walking distance, including a primary school and easy access to Cameron Bridge Train Station—just a short drive away—commuting to Edinburgh is straightforward. The surrounding area offers the charm of Fife’s coastal beauty, with stunning beaches, scenic golf courses, and the picturesque Coastal Path all nearby. Windygates provides essential local amenities, while Leven town center, less than three miles away, features a wider range of shopping options and recreational facilities like a leisure center equipped with a swimming pool and gym. Inside, the layout includes a welcoming hall that flows into various living spaces. The kitchen is spacious and well-lit, featuring floor-standing units with contrasting worktops and space for freestanding appliances. Double-glazed windows invite natural light while offering pleasant garden views. Adjoining the kitchen is an inner hall which provides access to both the sunroom and additional storage. The lounge offers ample room for relaxation, complete with an electric fire set in a timber surround. Each of the two double bedrooms overlooks the extensive garden and provides built-in wardrobe space. The bathroom is fitted with a four-piece suite, including both a bath and shower area. The sunroom further enhances the living space, providing a bright area that connects seamlessly to the garden through UPVC doors. The generous garden itself is primarily laid to lawn and features established hedgerows, mature trees, fruit bushes, and an apple tree—a perfect setting for gardening enthusiasts or families looking to create outdoor social spaces. Given its size and characteristics, there are considerable opportunities for development within this garden (subject to obtaining necessary permissions from Fife Council). Additionally, there is scope to reinstate an off-street parking driveway accessed from Balcurvie Road. This property not only offers comfortable living as it stands but also holds substantial potential for those looking to customize their home or capitalize on investment opportunities in this sought-after location.
