5 bedroom house for sale

SITUATION
Station House is set in an attractive and highly accessible position a small distance to the east side of the hamlet of Lindores on the main A913 road that runs between Cupar and Newburgh. Closest in terms of local services and amenities is the Royal Burgh of Newburgh, which is just a five minute drive from the house and is situated on the southern shores of the Firth of Tay. Newburgh was granted its royal charter by Alexander the Third in 1266 and its picturesque centre is a conservation area. The thriving community provides an excellent range of local facilities and amenities including a doctors surgery, vet, post office, bank, garage, primary school, shops, pubs and cafes together with beautiful walks along the waterfront and in the park and surrounding hills.

Lindores is situated close to the Fife/Perthshire border at almost the mid-point between Cupar and Perth, which between them offer a superb range of shops, facilities and services. The Lindores and Newburgh areas are also well located for accessing the golfing Mecca of St. Andrews which is no more than a twenty five minute drive to the east. Running close by at Bridge of Earn, the main M90 motorway network affords good access to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen with the resurgent city of Dundee, home to Captain Scott's ship RSS Discovery and now the location for the iconic V & A museum is approximately a twenty minute drive to the north east.

Surrounded by some particularly fine rolling countryside the area around Lindores is home to an array of wildlife and presents an excellent choice for the outdoor enthusiast with walking, cycling, riding, sailing and golf all readily available.

Well regarded state primary and secondary schooling is available locally with various independent schooling being provided within easy distance. The area is well served by public transport including regular bus services to St. Andrews and Perth and mainline railway stations in Perth, Ladybank and Cupar. Edinburgh airport is about one hour to the south whilst the regional airport at Dundee offers a good selection of short haul flights.

DESCRIPTION
The original part of the house was built in 1907 as the station house for Lindores Railway Station. The station ceased to exist when this section of the railway line closed in 1951 and since then the house has been extended at various times including to the east side where a single storey addition was added in the 1980s. The house has been completely modernised in more recent years and now offers a comfortable energy efficient detached two storey house, which benefits from double glazed windows and a newly installed air source heat pump. The air source heat pump was installed in February 2022 and qualifies for a renewable heating incentive. This is paid quarterly for 7 years, starting at the date of installation and will continue to be paid to the new owners of Station House.
