The property

Located within the picturesque Howe of Fife, in the village of Giffordtown, close to Ladybank and Cupar for train services, The Smiddy offers a substantial detached family home with attractive interiors and versatile accommodation including four/five double bedrooms, two bathrooms and multiple living areas. The charming two-storey house enjoys a private position and is accompanied by a vast south-facing garden, a private driveway and extensive external storage. The home is accessed from the front door adjacent to the road or from the rear, where the door opens into a wood-floored porch with a characterful arched window. From here, you step into an exceptionally sunny living room with windows to three sides. Elegantly presented with neutral decor and carpeting, the squarely-proportioned room is arranged around a homely living flame fire and leads directly to the second main reception area. Ideal for formal dining, this further living space exudes an airy feel, overlooked by a first-floor gallery, and is neutrally decorated with terracotta floor tiling flowing into the adjoining kitchen. Offset by sage green walls and brightly lit by two south-facing picture windows, the modern kitchen (with external access to a patio) features wood-toned cabinetry and spacious worktops, paired with a range cooker, an integrated dishwasher, and space for a freestanding fridge/freezer. Plumbing for a washing machine is housed in a neighbouring laundry room. This is reached via an internal hall with built-in storage, which also leads to two further bright and versatile rooms, currently used as a cosy family room and a home study, as well as a handy WC, and a lobby with a front external entrance and a cloak cupboard. Well-lit stairs from the hall lead up to a galleried landing housing a store and an airing cupboard and affording access to four tastefully-decorated double bedrooms. These comprise a dual-aspect master suite and three further sky-lit bedrooms with incorporated storage. The master bedroom benefits from the luxury of a dressing room and a bright en-suite bathroom with a WC-suite and a bathtub with shower. Completing the upper level of accommodation is a large family shower room. The property is heated by gas central heating and double-glazed throughout. Externally, the house is hugged by lawned gardens, with a sizeable south-facing area to the rear. Bordered by mature trees, the wonderfully secluded site occupies 2.2 acres in total and could easily accommodate farm animals, whilst there is an equestrian centre close by. A driveway provides generous private parking and three large outbuildings attached to the property (the largest with internal access) offer a wealth of additional storage. These also have conversion potential (subject to planning permission). EPC Rating - D. Extras: All fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, and integrated kitchen appliances are included in the sale. Located just 10 minutes' drive from the towns of Cupar and Glenrothes, and within reach of cities across the larger Central Belt, the village of Giffordtown lies nestled in the scenic Howe of Fife and is ideal for those favouring a relaxed semi-rural lifestyle. The village is not only well-placed for easy access to shopping amenities, pub and restaurants, and public services in nearby towns but the coast can be reached in approximately 30 minutes including the historic seaside town of St Andrews, boasting a world-renowned golf complex. Giffordtown's picturesque countryside setting, close to the Lomond Hills, also promises a tranquil backdrop for all sorts of outdoor activities, including woodland walks, loch fishing, cycling and horse riding, with plentiful hacking routes and village equestrian facilities. Local family days out can include a trip to Giffordtown's Fife Zoo or delightful public gardens at Falkland Place and The Scottish Deer Centre. Schooling options at primary and secondary level, both state and independent, can be found in the surrounding area.
