The property

Prinlaws House is a magnificent Georgian villa set on an elevated site enjoying lovely views over the Fife countryside. The property has been sympathetically restored and enhanced throughout, whilst retaining many of the original features. This unique and rarely available property is understood to have been built in the late 1790s and was once owned by John Fergus of Prinlaws Linen Mills in the late 1820s. This outstanding property must be viewed to appreciate the area, location and extent of the accommodation on offer and it will not fail to delight even the most discerning viewer. The property features modern bathrooms and a stunning modern kitchen with a large array of units, a Godin 5 ring gas stove with 2 electric ovens, marble worktops, a built-in dresser and a unique sandstone and brick surround. There are 2 large walk-in pantries and an immense scullery, again with a generous array of modern units, Belfast sink and wooden work tops. This area is further enhanced by a large utility room and wood store. On the lower floor of this charming property you will delight in the 3 unique working fireplaces with their fine surrounds, found in the dining room, study and drawing room. The accommodation on offer is expansive and versatile. The grand staircase and ceiling to floor stained glass window which floods the area with natural light will impress, along with the unique, inviting ambience afforded throughout by this cherished property. Leslie is a large village with a range of good local amenities including a Primary School and is just a stone's throw from Glenrothes with its extensive facilities on offer, including the Kingdom Shopping Centre, the Michael Woods Leisure Centre, the Lomond Hills Regional Park with an 18-hole Golf course and a range of educational facilities.
