SITUATION
Station House is set in an attractive and highly accessible position a small distance to the east side of the hamlet of Lindores on the main A913 road that runs between Cupar and Newburgh. Closest in terms of local services and amenities is the Royal Burgh of Newburgh, which is just a five minute drive from the house and is situated on the southern shores of the Firth of Tay.

Surrounded by some particularly fine rolling countryside the area around Lindores is home to an array of wildlife and presents an excellent choice for the outdoor enthusiast with walking, cycling, riding, sailing and golf all readily available.

Well regarded state primary and secondary schooling is available locally with various independent schooling being provided within easy distance. The area is well served by public transport including regular bus services to St. Andrews and Perth and mainline railway stations in Perth, Ladybank and Cupar. Edinburgh airport is about one hour to the south whilst the regional airport at Dundee offers a good selection of short haul flights.

DESCRIPTION
The original part of the house was built in 1907 as the station house for Lindores Railway Station. The station ceased to exist when this section of the railway line closed in 1951 and since then the house has been extended at various times including to the east side where a single storey addition was added in the 1980s. The house has been completely modernised in more recent years and now offers a comfortable energy efficient detached two storey house, which benefits from double glazed windows and a newly installed air source heat pump. The air source heat pump was installed in February 2022 and qualifies for a renewable heating incentive. This is paid quarterly for 7 years, starting at the date of installation and will continue to be paid to the new owners of Station House.

From the front, the southeast-facing house instantly endears with its white rendered walls, period-style cottage windows and sweeping roof profile, all set behind a stone wall. The front door swings open to reveal a spacious L-shaped hallway.

The living room flows seamlessly into a double-aspect dining room. Accessed from the dining room is a delightful southwest-facing conservatory with direct access to the outdoors.
