Set within the historic conservation village of Culross, this late 19th-century stone cottage offers authentic period character and sweeping views across the Firth of Forth. The layout is traditional and practical: a fitted kitchen, dining room that opens to a secluded walled garden, a lounge with a feature fireplace and panoramic windows, plus three double bedrooms on the upper floor. The garden is private and well-planted, ideal for quiet outdoor living close to the village centre.
This home will suit buyers who value heritage and location over turnkey modernisation. The house is a category ‘C’ listed building, so any alterations will require listed-building consent and will limit major renovation options. Internally the rooms are small-to-medium in scale and the property totals about 894 sq ft, with a single family bathroom. Heating is gas and the accommodation is arranged over two floors in a familiar traditional plan.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average; the wider area has higher deprivation indicators. Flood risk is low and the property is freehold. For families seeking a characterful cottage with strong village ties, or buyers wanting a distinctive holiday retreat near the coast, the location — just yards from the Mercat Cross and village amenities — is a major asset. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the views and private garden.
Note the listed status and the property’s age mean upkeep and specialist repairs are a realistic ongoing cost. Buyers should allow time for any consent processes and factor utilities/connectivity limits into their plans.
