About
Enjoying a peaceful village setting, a short drive from the coast, transport links, and local towns, this modern detached three-bedroom property is a spacious and functional family home, featuring multiple living spaces and presented to a high decorative standard with a minimalist décor enhanced by stylish finishes.
The charming dormer-fronted residence sits amongst meticulously maintained grounds with a driveway, attached garage, and a secure landscaped garden.
Welcoming you inside is an entrance hall boasting under-stair storage, a WC cloakroom, and durable oak-look flooring that runs seamlessly into the reception areas.
The sun-filled living room is open-plan to a dining room offering a pleasant garden outlook, with delicate feature décor flowing cohesively through both spaces.
This convivial layout is further enhanced by a versatile sunroom, connected to the living room, opening onto the garden, and enjoying a southeast-facing aspect.
Completing the ground floor is a bright kitchen with an adjoining utility room providing further garden access.
The kitchen is stylishly appointed with wood-toned and gloss-white units, downlit workspace, attractive patterned flooring, and an integrated oven and gas hob with a stainless-steel and striking mosaic splashback.
Additional appliances include an integrated dishwasher, a large fridge freezer, and, in the utility room, an undercounter freezer and washing machine.
Sky-lit stairs lead to a central landing affording access to three bedrooms. All three bedrooms have space for a double bed and benefit from wood-look flooring and useful storage.
The principal extends the full depth of the property and includes fitted wardrobes.
Also on this level is a bright bathroom featuring an L-shaped bath with an overhead shower and tasteful neutral tilework with a mosaic accent.
Gas central heating and full double glazing ensure year-round comfort and efficiency.
Outside, the secure rear garden is attractively landscaped with lawn and seating areas, enjoying added seclusion thanks to high fencing and a multi-level layout.
Neat gravel and a planted border creates an inviting frontage, whilst a private driveway leads to the attached single garage.
Extras: All fitted flooring, window coverings, light fittings, and appliances are included in the sale.
The small village of Windygates offers an attractive blend of quiet country life with handy everyday convenience. The village is served by a primary school, local shopping, a pub, and a takeaway.
It sits amidst lovely countryside, close to major roads and rail links for easy commuting, and just a 10-minute drive from several towns along the picturesque east coast of Fife.
One of these towns is Leven, with its own scenic beach and esplanade, alongside a bustling pedestrianised thoroughfare offering an extensive range of high-street, specialist, and supermarket shopping, including a Sainsbury’s, all supplemented by a retail park on the edge of the town.
For those who enjoy an active lifestyle, the Levenmouth Swimming Pool and Sports Centre offers an excellent range of activities, and the town is a paradise for golfers with its three golf courses, including the renowned Leven Links, one of the oldest links courses in Scotland.
The woodland valley of Letham Glen and Silverburn Park offer attractive landscaped picnic and recreational areas, ideal for relaxing and enjoying the great outdoors, whilst Leven Beach forms part of the scenic Fife Coastal Path, perfect for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts.
A wide range of cultural facilities, including theatres, museums, and art galleries, are a short drive away in Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes.
Leven provides secondary education at Levenmouth Academy and there are a number of independent schooling options within driving distance.
The area is exceptionally popular with commuters thanks to its proximity to Edinburgh, Dundee, Perth, and Glasgow, all accessible either via the motorway network or rail links, including Leven to Edinburgh.
