Set in the quiet hamlet of Gowkhall, this 19th-century cottage occupies a large, walled plot with mature trees and generous privacy. The house offers a flexible layout — lounge, dining room, kitchen, ground-floor bedroom plus two double bedrooms upstairs — and practical outbuildings including a garage/workshop. A south-facing rear garden and patio make the grounds a major asset for outdoor living.
Planning permission is already approved for a dwellinghouse to the west side of the plot, creating genuine development potential for an annex or separate build (see Fife Council planning reference in the brochure). The plot size and off-street parking for several vehicles will appeal to buyers seeking space, possible rental income or an extended family arrangement.
The cottage benefits from gas central heating and double glazing but requires extensive cosmetic renovation and general upgrading throughout; buyers should expect refurbishment works. The EPC is rated F. Despite excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, the location is remote — around four miles west of Dunfermline — with limited local services and a higher level of area deprivation, though regular buses connect to nearby towns.
This property suits buyers looking for a character-filled renovation project with land and planning upside: families wanting space and privacy, investors seeking a development plot, or anyone prepared to restore a period cottage in a peaceful countryside setting.
