Successful holiday-let history — potential rental income stream
This handsome 18th-century former schoolmaster’s house sits in the centre of Kingsbarns, offering elegant rooms, high ceilings and well-preserved Georgian character. Light-filled principal rooms, a Neptune-fitted kitchen and a sheltered walled garden make it comfortable for family life or a high-quality holiday let.
The house is presented with contemporary finishes alongside original features — sash windows, marble mantel and hardwood floors — but is a listed building. Listed status will complicate alterations and may increase repair costs and permissions required for any changes.
Practicalities include oil central heating, average mobile and broadband reception, and on-street parking. The property has an EPC rating of E and sits in a higher council tax band; purchasers should factor these running costs in. The home has been a successful holiday let, so it also suits buyers seeking rental income in a strong coastal/golf-market location.
Located moments from the village shop, pub, church and primary school, and within easy reach of Kingsbarns Beach and world-class golf links, the house combines rural village life with good access to St Andrews, Dundee and Edinburgh for wider services and travel links.
