South Street, Kingskettle, Cupar, KY15

This traditional stone-built property enjoys a sought-after village address, within easy reach of local towns and transport connections. The portfolio is sold as one and offers numerous development opportunities. It encompasses a spacious and characterful two/three-bedroom duplex flat with a former Post Office below. These commercial premises, and their attached stores, could retain their use, or be converted (if consent is granted) to more than one private residence. To the rear is a garden, a driveway, and external stairs to the upper flat.

Set over the first and second levels, the flat retains much of its period charm, with airy proportions and features such as cornicework and deep-set sash windows, some with working shutters. Simple décor is enhanced by sympathetically classic fittings and finishes in warm wood tones. Fanning off the bright entrance hall is a dual-aspect living room, heightened by stylish accent wallpaper, and a formal dining room with a shelved recess and convenient kitchen access.

The bright modern kitchen boasts timeless wood-toned cabinetry, accompanied by chequered tilework, statement red décor, and a range cooker, plus space for further appliances. Also found on this level is a bathroom and a versatile third reception room (or bedroom) open to the living room and accessible from the hall. The bright and spacious bathroom features a shower enclosure and a clawfoot bath. On the second floor, a landing leads to two generous, carpeted double bedrooms benefiting from a picturesque rural outlook. Good built-in storage is provided on this level and the flat is heated via gas central heating.

The ground-floor footprint incorporates a large street-facing shop adjoined by two stores, an office, and a WC. This suite of rooms, and a further attached store, lead out to the private rear garden that promises scope for landscaping. The private driveway is approached via communal access from the street at the side of the property.

Extras: Included in the sale are all fitted floor coverings, light fittings, fridge/freezer, and cooker. All the fixtures and fittings in the shop are also included, sold as seen.
