A striking Scots Baronial villa dating from the 1890s, this B‑listed detached house offers grand, flexible accommodation across multiple floors. High ceilings, decorative cornicing, bay windows, marble fireplaces and a turret create strong period character and large, well-proportioned rooms that suit conversion back to a family home or continued commercial use. The property currently operates as a well‑being centre and includes reception rooms, studies, approximately eight bedrooms, three bathrooms, a modern fitted breakfasting kitchen and various ancillary spaces.
Externally there is off‑street parking and a mature south‑facing garden. The house is centrally located with easy access to Kirkcaldy mainline station and local amenities, while having excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—practical advantages for modern living or business use. Flood risk is recorded as none and the property is offered freehold, with a sale price shown £100,000 below the Home Report valuation.
Important practical points: the B‑listing means alterations will be constrained and listed‑building consent will be required for many works. The size and age of the building imply ongoing maintenance and potential specialist repair costs to retain historic fabric. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the wider area is recorded as very deprived, which may affect resale prospects and lettings.
This is a specialist opportunity for a buyer who values significant period character and scope for imaginative reuse, but who also accepts the responsibilities and costs that come with a listed, Victorian property. It will suit an investor, developer or buyer prepared to undertake sensitive restoration rather than someone seeking a low‑maintenance move‑in home.
