Summary - GARDENERS COTTAGE, LESLIE MAINS KY6 3EP
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious multi-generational home with independent two-bedroom annexe and large gardens.
Distinctive circa 200-year stone-built cottage with period character
Gardener’s Cottage is a distinctive stone-built property on a generous private plot in Leslie Mains, combining traditional character with flexible living. The main house offers four well-proportioned bedrooms across two levels, a bright lounge with feature fireplace and a large open-plan kitchen/dining space that creates a sociable family hub. A newly fitted bathroom and a first-floor shower room provide modern convenience, while the layout allows scope for reconfiguration to suit changing needs.
A separate two-bedroom bungalow within the grounds functions as an independent annexe — ideal for multi-generational families, long-stay guests or rental income. The annexe has a modern kitchen/diner, lounge and shower room, offering ready-made, self-contained accommodation without compromising the main house’s privacy. Outdoor space is a strong selling point: mature gardens, a gated driveway with extensive off-street parking, and a double garage (currently used as a gym) give practical options for vehicles, hobbies or storage.
Practical considerations are important. The property sits within an area described as very deprived, which may affect future resale or rental yields. Tenure is not specified and should be confirmed early in the buying process. While the house retains much charm and some modern fittings, there is clear potential — and likely a need — for updating and internal reconfiguration if you want fully contemporary finishes and layouts.
For families seeking space and flexibility, or buyers looking for a multi-unit setup with annexe income potential, this stone cottage offers privacy, period character and significant outside space close to Glenrothes. Its mix of traditional features and an independent bungalow makes it particularly suitable for multi-generational living, while being within reach of local schools, shops and woodland walks.
