Situation

Downfield House sits in an idyllic, secluded, wooded position, with spectacular views from the garden over the Howe of Fife to the Lomond Hills in the distance. The property is highly accessible, well positioned for access to Dundee, Cupar and St. Andrews, with Perth and Edinburgh also within comfortable driving distance. Good local services and amenities are available in Cupar with all of Dundee's facilities and amenities on hand across the River Tay. Glenrothes is also within easy reach, whilst the ancient and historic town of St. Andrews, globally acclaimed as the Home of Golf lies a short drive to the east. North-east Fife provides access to an area of particularly outstanding and varied countryside with hill, wood, river, farmland and coastline. As a result there is a wide range of outdoor activities on hand with walking, cycling, sailing and riding all readily available. It is perhaps golf for which Fife is most well-known however with numerous top-quality courses in a comparatively small area including the world renowned Old Course at St. Andrews which regularly hosts the Open Championship. Other notable courses include Ladybank, Scotscraig, Kingsbarns and Crail. Shooting and fishing may be taken locally with the lovely quaint fishing villages of the East Neuk such as Elie, Anstruther and St. Monans well within striking distance. There are good state primary and secondary schools in the area with independent schooling on hand at a number of highly rated schools including St. Leonards at St. Andrews and the High School of Dundee. There are railway stations in Leuchars, Cupar, Ladybank and Dundee whilst Edinburgh airport lies approximately one hour to the south. The regional airport at Dundee offers short-haul flights
