VENDORS TO PAY STAMP DUTY

This traditional stone and brick terraced dwelling with pitched roof dates back to circa 1820. The main dwellinghouse is linked to a former commercial shop which was historically the village Post Office. These properties offer immense potential for conversion and redevelopment and an opportunity such as this is rarely available.

The dwellinghouse is in need of complete modernisation and comprises Entrance Hallway, Sitting Room, Dining Room/Bedroom 3, Kitchen, Upper Hallway, Bathroom and two double Bedrooms. The neighbouring property is accessed via the Sitting Room of the dwellinghouse and is currently used as a recreation room and store. Externally there is a substantial chipped driveway which leads to the rear of the property. The garden ground is generous in size and is mainly chipped and paved for ease of maintenance. In addition to this, there is a brick built former stable block which is currently used as a single garage. If converted, it could accommodate two cars (although prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves regarding the same). Further features include LPG heating and partial double glazing.

Gateside is a small village situated on the main road between Kinross and St Andrews. The village boasts a country aspect yet remains only 5 miles from the M90 Motorway, making Edinburgh easily accessible for the commuter. Perth lies 13 miles to the north and St Andrews is 23 miles to the east. Local amenities can be found in nearby Kinross/Milnathort and there are a number of excellent schools in the area.
