We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Gardener’s Cottage is a distinctive stone-built home set within the private grounds of Leslie Mains on the edge of Glenrothes.
Dating back around 200 years, the property offers traditional character with generous accommodation and a separate two bedroom bungalow, making it an ideal investment for multi generational families.
The main house is set over two levels. On the ground floor, a welcoming hallway leads to a bright lounge with front-facing windows and feature fireplace.
The spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room is fitted with ample base and wall mounted units, contrasting worktops, tiled flooring and space for a dining table, creating a sociable hub of the home.
Lastly a newly fitted bathroom finished with striking tiles, a rustic-style bath, sink unit and w/c.
The first floor provides four further bedrooms of generous proportions, along with a family shower room and a useful landing.
The layout offers scope to reconfigure to suit individual requirements, making it adaptable for modern family life. Within the grounds, a separate two-bedroom bungalow provides further accommodation.
This annexe includes a modern fitted kitchen and dining area opening into a lounge, a shower room and two well-sized bedrooms, making it ideal for multi-generational living or as an independent space for extended family.
Externally, the property is set within mature garden grounds offering privacy and plenty of space for outdoor living.
A gated driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles and leads to a double garage, currently utilised as a gym but equally suitable as a workshop or for storage.
Leslie Mains is a peaceful private setting close to the historic town of Leslie and only a short distance from Glenrothes, offering a balance of rural character with easy access to shops, schools and transport links.
The surrounding area is rich in woodland walks, riverside paths all contributing to the property’s sense of space and setting.
