Situation
East Fergus Place occupies a prestigious setting in the heart of Kirkcaldy. On the east coast of Fife, this is a vibrant town with an array of amenities. Bustling shops, fashionable bars, and thriving restaurants are to be found in the town centre, and it hosts a popular Farmers Market held on the last Saturday of every month. Enjoy scenic walks along the beachfront, take in the formal gardens and boating lake at Beveridge Park or visit Ravenscraig Park with its playpark, football pitches, and bowling green. Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre houses a gym, health suite, and swimming pool. Education at all levels is well-catered for including Balwearie Secondary School. Kirkcaldy is the perfect location from which to explore the characterful fishing villages that make up this scenic part of Scotland including Anstruther, St Monans, Crail, and Pittenweem. St Andrews to the north is a 45-minute drive and Edinburgh to the south is approx. 50 minutes by car or the same duration by train from Kirkcaldy.

Fondly called ‘the lang toun’ due to its four-mile-long main street, the former Royal Burgh of Kirkcaldy lies on the east coast of Fife. With a scenic promenade and beach overlooking The Firth of Forth, residents can enjoy some delightful walks. A recent waterfront regeneration project has also seen the area improved for cyclists and the installation of seafront viewing shelters. There are world-renowned golf courses to enjoy including the 18-hole club in Kirkcaldy, the last designed by Old Tom Morris in 1904; Dunnikier Park Golf Club; and The Old Course at St Andrews. Cluny Activities is home to extraordinary experiences such as archery, clay shooting, and golf. In addition to the beach at Kirkcaldy, there are several more to explore nearby such as those at Elie and Kingsbarns. Kirkcaldy Galleries and The Adam Smith Theatre offer wonderful cultural escapes whilst every April the Links Market comes to town with over 200 rides and attractions. State schooling is available locally and private options include St Leonards in St Andrews and The High School of Dundee. An efficient bus service connects Kirkcaldy to towns throughout Fife, and the train station provides swift links to Edinburgh. Edinburgh International Airport is within reach.

General Description
This exceptional 19th-century B-listed residence offers discerning buyers a perfect blend of historic charm and modern luxury. With a stunning and transformative extension, the 500 sq.m property seamlessly combines its rich heritage with contemporary design, creating a one-of-a-kind home and an exquisite lifestyle. Entering the ground floor through grand double doors, you're welcomed by a glass-fronted and roofed atrium that with its chic grey interior and electric blinds sets the tone for the stunning modern accommodation that awaits. To your right lies an elegant dining room seating ten, adorned with a timeless colour scheme and soft carpeting underfoot, it exudes refined sophistication. Across the hallway, past a cloakroom and a data room that houses the smart home operating system controlling the electric blinds, TV, sound system, security cameras, and heating, you enter a breathtaking open-plan dining kitchen and living room. Bi-fold doors with electric blinds, flood the south-facing space with light and create a seamless connection between the indoors and outdoors, offering a magazine-worthy setting for family living, socialising, and entertaining. Design-centric the first-class H?cker kitchen nestled under LED recessed lighting features sleek, burnished grey handleless cabinetry with white marble worktops, complemented by large grey porcelain floor tiles for a harmonious and clean modern finish. Blending functionality with stylish minimalism, the kitchen is equipped with a full suite of high-spec Siemens integrated appliances, including two built-in eye-level ovens, a grill, a gas hob, and a Kitchen Zip hydro tap. Two adjacent utility rooms ensure the kitchen's streamlined appearance; one extends the design with grey cabinetry for white goods, while the other functions as a walk-in pantry, housing two Blizzard fridge/freezers. Moving through the ground floor past a guest WC, you arrive at three luxuriously appointed double bedrooms each benefitting from opulent en-suite shower rooms and built-in partially mirrored wardrobes. Ascending to the first floor by the sleek Caltech lift or the open-riser staircase with glass balustrade panels, you enter a hallway with plush carpeting underfoot that leads to three light and airy double bedrooms. These bedrooms along with a shower room branch off from a stunning entrance hall, which boasts original column pillars and exquisite cornicing. Above, a striking cupola with custom designs from House of the Ugly Fish adds a vibrant pop of colour, mirrored beautifully in the custom-made glass panel doors of the vestibule, creating a cohesive and visually captivating space. From here, a magnificent south-facing bay-windowed living room beckons, exuding refined elegance. High ceilings and a crisp white and soft neutral palette enhance the room's bright and serene ambiance. In turn, the spectacular ceiling rose and intricate cornicing, hark back to the property’s architectural heritage. Directly opposite, a warm and inviting family room awaits mirroring the living room in outlook and tasteful décor. Completing the first floor, the luxurious underfloor heated principal double bedroom with direct access to a stunning wrap-around terrace offering panoramic cityscape views is a haven of calm and comfort bathed in natural light from its south-facing position. Undeniably indulgent, its fully tiled ensuite bathroom marked by high-end and innovative finishes is akin to a private sanctuary and features a sleek, wall-hung Jack and Jill vanity, a deep, freestanding bath, a WC, and a state-of-the-art doorless rainfall shower. Enhancing the appeal even further an adjoining dressing room showcases wall and ceiling mirrors and bespoke cabinetry.

Comprehensive security is provided for by an extensive alarm system, electronic front door opening, electronic gates controlled by a CAME app, and a front doorbell video system. There is a full fire alarm system and sprinklers throughout.

To ensure maximum comfort, the central heating is a wet system with two gas fired boilers in the boiler house. The entire ground floor has underfloor heating with the upstairs using radiators. The heating is controlled using Heatmiser Neo thermostats with each room having its own thermostat.

Exterior
Beautifully landscaped, the south and west-facing garden, accessible from the extension, features sandstone paving bordered by a fully filtered Koi pond. A raised terrace houses a bespoke, expansive aluminium pergola, enhancing the outdoor space and allowing for year-round enjoyment.

A solar panelled roof on the extension ensures economic efficiency with readings sent three times a year to Scottish Power for the reclaim.

Parking is provided for by the gravel driveway enclosed by a stone wall and double garage with electric doors.
