Todhall House, Cupar, Fife, KY15

Beautiful country house with lovely gardens and outstanding views

Description

Todhall House is a delightful, stone built house with an impressive frontage. The central porch is flanked by curving walls on either side. The house is believed to date from the 1700s and was extended in the 1850s when the double-bay frontage was added. The two south facing, bow ended rooms are particularly attractive and are complemented by family rooms behind.

The house was formerly a farmhouse but has been separate from the farm for many years. The house has been fully refurbished in the past 12 years with a new kitchen and bathrooms, all the shutters being restored and has been fully redecorated.
