LADYBANK, FIFE

Situated around six miles from Cupar, the village of Ladybank enjoys a quiet yet well-connected location, surrounded by rolling hills and scenic countryside.

The village is home to a selection of everyday amenities including minimarkets, a doctor’s surgery, a pharmacy, a butcher, a café, a coffee shop, a restaurant, hairdressers and a library. Nearby Cupar offers a wider selection of shops including high-street stores and supermarkets, as well as a range of cafes, coffee shops, restaurants and takeaways, a post office and banks. Cupar is also home to a sports centre which features a gym, a timetable of fitness classes, a swimming pool, a sports hall, squash courts and outdoor sports pitches. If being outdoors is more your thing, Ladybank is surrounded by scenic countryside and, for the golf enthusiast, the village has its own golf club. To keep the children entertained, Ladybank Youth Club hosts a breakfast club, an after-school club and a holiday club for children of primary and secondary-school age. Nursery and primary schooling are provided in the village at Ladybank Primary school, with secondary schooling at Bell Baxter High School in Cupar. The village is served by a number of bus links across the county, as well as regular rail services from the train station to Edinburgh, Inverness, Arbroath and Perth. Owing to the close proximity of major road links, travelling by car across the county, into the capital and further afield couldn’t be easier.

With four bedrooms, multiple reception rooms and a wealth of lovingly-retained period features paired with heritage décor, this semi-detached villa in Ladybank is the epitome of a perfect family home. In addition to wonderful countryside views, the property boasts vast garden grounds, a multi-vehicle driveway and a single garage.

Screened from the road by neat hedgerows and set behind a low-maintenance garden, the front door opens into an entrance vestibule flowing through to a grand reception hall (with a WC).

On the left, the well-proportioned living room is extended by a south-facing bay window and features a picture rail, cornicing, a ceiling rose, panelled window surrounds and a period-inspired fireplace. Across the hall, a formal dining room awaits. Presenting the perfect setting for family meals and entertaining, the dining room can comfortably accommodate a large dining suite and enjoys the same south-facing aspect as the living room. Continuing along the hall, you reach the heart of the home: a magnificent dining kitchen with patio doors onto the rear garden. Arranged around a granite-topped island, the farmhouse- style kitchen features an array of cream-painted cabinetry framed by solid timber worktops, plus a double Belfast sink, an impressive range cooker, an integrated microwave and an integrated fridge. The adjoining utility room (leading to the substantial rear porch) houses further fitted cabinetry and offers space for additional undercounter appliances.
