General

Hiltonhill lies in the heart of Fife and enjoys a private, yet accessible location, close to the village of Kettlebridge. Cupar, the county town of Fife, is only 7 miles to the north east and Edinburgh (40 miles) is easily reached by both road and rail, with a railway station being conveniently located at nearby Ladybank. Edinburgh provides for all requirements, including an international airport.

Cupar provides for all day to day needs with a wide variety of individual shops, national banks and local trades. Perth to the north, and Glenrothes to the south, offer further amenities including national retailers, supermarkets and extensive recreational facilities. Historic St Andrews, with its famous Royal and Ancient Golf Course and University, lies about 17 miles to the east.

There are a number of good private schools within easy reach of Hiltonhill, including St Leonards at St Andrews, Strathallan and Kilgraston at Bridge of Earn, and Craigclowan Preparatory School in Perth.

Fife is well known for its fertile farmland and great diversity of recreational pursuits including fishing, shooting, walking and horse riding.

DESCRIPTION

Hiltonhill offers a rarely available opportunity to acquire a lovely rural property extending to about 85.9 acres overall. Hiltonhill farmhouse and outbuildings are at the centre of the property. The farmhouse, which is traditional in character, provides spacious family living accommodation and the range of outbuildings offer good livestock housing and grain storage facilities.

The current owners of the farm have identified a number of residential development opportunities within the bounds of the property and planning consent is in place for the re-development of two detached former cottages know as Parkwell and Coalpitden East and for residential conversion of the redundant steading range at Coalpitden West. Each property has detailed planning consent to create a very attractive traditional country home.

Hiltonhill is being offered for sale as a whole or in lots, each lot having ample land to graze horses and other livestock. Upon completion of re-development, each property will be private, have a superb rural situation and all will be much in demand.
