This handsome 18th century B listed END TERRACED TOWN HOUSE lies at the heart of
the historic village of Falkland. Dating back to 1771 and arranged over 4 floors, the house
still retains much of its original character and features and incorporates the original
saddler's shop from whence it gets its name. Deceptively spacious, it is a most appealing
and comfortable house which lends itself well to modern family living. Nestling at the foot
of the Lomond Hills and renowned for its palace and stunning gardens, Falkland is a
charming conservation village offering a good selection of local shops, restaurants and
pubs as well as an excellent primary school. Secondary schooling and a wider range of
amenities are available at Glenrothes and Cupar and Kinross. The village can also claim
bowling, tennis and cricket clubs as well as its own 9 hole golf course.
Falkland is situated just off the A92 offering ease of travel throughout Fife and to Dundee
while speedy access to the M90 provides fast links to Perth and Edinburgh. In addition the
main east coast rail line can be accessed at Ladybank and Markinch making it an ideal
location for the commuter.
