Property Description

Orchard House is a substantial and beautifully positioned five-bedroom detached family home, set on the edge of the charming village of Craigrothie, close to Cupar. The property enjoys a peaceful, semi-rural setting and is distinguished by its exceptional outdoor space, with mature gardens extending to approximately 0.5 acre, complemented by a further adjoining area of woodland/amenity ground of similar size.

Internally, the house offers generous and flexible accommodation across two levels, ideally suited to modern family living. The ground floor is particularly well designed for both everyday life and entertaining, with a spacious lounge featuring a striking bay window overlooking the rear garden, allowing for excellent natural light and a strong connection to the outdoor space. A separate sitting room provides an additional reception area, while the dining room, with French doors opening directly onto the garden, creates an ideal setting for formal meals and gatherings.

At the heart of the home lies the breakfasting kitchen, offering ample space for informal dining, along with a practical layout that connects seamlessly to the adjoining utility room. A ground floor bedroom, currently used as a study, benefits from its own en-suite shower room, providing excellent flexibility for guests or home working. Two WC compartments and good storage throughout complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, a bright landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant views over the rear garden. Two of the bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom, fitted with both a bath and separate shower. The upper floor continues the theme of generous proportions and excellent natural light throughout.

Externally, the property is a true standout feature, with expansive, thoughtfully landscaped gardens incorporating lawned areas, mature planting, and a delightful summer house. Beyond the formal garden, the additional woodland/amenity area enhances both privacy and lifestyle appeal. A driveway provides ample off-street parking and leads to an integral double garage.
