Set in the picturesque conservation village of Falkland, this two-bedroom mid-terrace stone cottage combines genuine period character with comfortable, compact living—ideal for downsizers seeking a low-maintenance, historic home. Exposed beams, a feature fireplace and a country-style dining kitchen with a two-burner Aga create a warm, traditional interior that suits relaxed everyday life and intimate entertaining.
The accommodation is arranged over two storeys and includes a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobe and en-suite corner bath, a second double bedroom with a large wardrobe, and a separate family shower room. Practical features include gas central heating (Rayburn stove supplementing the kitchen), average broadband and excellent mobile signal, making the cottage suitable for modern needs while retaining its character.
Externally the property benefits from a private, secluded garden directly across the lane—rare for terraced cottages—providing a quiet outdoor retreat for gardening or dining. The cottage’s B-listing and conservation setting offer long-term appeal but may require specialist consent for alterations; listed status will complicate renovations and may add cost and delay to any planned changes.
Location is a strong selling point: Falkland’s historic streets, local shops, cafés and easy access to larger centres (St Andrews, Perth, Edinburgh) suit a quieter lifestyle with occasional commuting or day trips. Note the local area’s socioeconomic profile and limited immediate services; buyers should consider this when assessing suitability for everyday needs.
