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
Creatively modernised top floor 4 bed apartment with parking, set in a magnificent and substantial Grade 'B' Listed Building which lies 3/4 of a mile to ne of Kirkcaldy town centre.
Braehead House overlooks the Firth of Forth from its terraced garden elevation and was designed by the renowned architect Mr James Millar.
It was built in 1939 and originally used as the office of Nairn's Linoleum Works, and in the early 1994 the building was professionally converted to form 35 luxury apartments.
Excellent town centre facilities and amenities are available within a few minutes walk, including the main line train station.
Entrance is via the main security door at the front, which you will arrive at after entering the walled and gated private gardens and parked in the common parking area at the front of the house.
Entering into the spectacular main grand hall you will find a lift and the recently upgraded staircase leading to the upper levels of the spectacular apartment building.
This peaceful apartment marries pared-back period features with a modern aesthetic to create generous rooms bathed with natural light and has been the subject of considered changes by the current owner, sensitively retaining period features, with the result being a wonderful marriage between voluminous proportions and a fine palette, culminating in interior spaces that are at once sophisticated, warm and serene.
The spacious, light-filled lounge / dining room features an array of dual aspect feature windows and moving on you will be impressed with the spacious and well equipped breakfasting kitchen with its array of units and appliances and feature Belfast sink.
