Glenrothes just four miles to the south provides a wealth of retail, dining, and leisure amenities as well as secondary schooling. Freuchie itself has a primary school and shop.

General Description
This immaculately presented four-bedroom stone-built cottage in a peaceful and captivating village setting offers buyers a desirable and charming lifestyle. Welcomed into a bright and versatile dining room that is perfect for family gatherings and entertaining you move through to a charming dual-aspect living room. Bathed in natural light this cosy and inviting space features rich wooden flooring, a crisp décor and a log-burning stove nestled beneath an oak mantle. The generous layout allows for a variety of furniture configurations dependent on individual needs. Returning to the dining room past a guest WC you are guided into an inner entrance hallway where French doors open into a spectacular south, east, and west-facing garden room. Contemporary in design and with a panoramic garden aspect this is an exceptional retreat that offers a seamless flow between the property and its idyllic surroundings. From here you descend a set of terracotta tiled stairs and enter a most impressive open-plan dining kitchen that spans the length of the residence and offers an enchanting triple aspect. A thoughtful difference in flooring and the presence of a log-burning stove creates a natural divide between the stylish kitchen and the dining area, the result is a space very much at the heart of the home. Light-filled the well-appointed kitchen boasts wall and floor units in soft white and sage complemented by butcher block worktops. A full suite of high-spec integrated appliances include an eye-level oven, American-style fridge/freezer, and an induction hob built into a desirable island. An adjacent pantry complete with shelving allows for additional storage. This wing of the home also leads out via an entrance hall and front door to the driveway. Ascending to the first floor, you arrive at the south-facing principal double bedroom. Boasting a serene décor and wooden flooring this exudes a tranquil ambience enhanced by a classically styled en-suite featuring a bath with a wall-mounted shower, WC, washbasin, and chrome towel radiator. From here you pass a second double bedroom/study before a third generously proportioned double bedroom connects you with the west landing and staircase, and a further south-facing double bedroom adorned with built-in cabinetry. Rounding off the layout on this floor is a generous bathroom complete with a shower enclosure, bath, WC, and washbasin.

EXTERIOR
Looking out across open fields and countryside, the mature and expansive south-facing rear garden combines a mix of lawn, established plants, trees, and borders. With several seating areas it is a wonderful and private outdoor sanctuary to be enjoyed by friends and family alike.

There is a driveway and detached double garage for off-street parking.
