A stunning Fife country house that comes with its own castle has gone up for sale

A stunning Georgian-era Country house has gone up for sale - and it comes with its own castle.

Piteadie House in Fife comes with around 4 acres of grounds and gardens which are also home to the ruins of Pitteadie Castle.

The House, cottage and castle can be yours for a cool £1.2m.

Originally an early stone Georgian farmhouse with a slate roof, estate agents say the house was gentrified in Victorian times, probably around 1840, when a new façade was added.

They added that the present owners bought the house in 2014 and have carried out a major upgrading programme which has included refurbishing the house, the cottage and the outbuildings.

The castle

Believed to originate from the late 15th century, the castle was originally a rectangular tower with a turret.

The castle was featured in Nigel Tranter’s novel about James II of Scotland and his protector Alexander Lyon.

Historic Environment Scotland advise that any proposals to renovate or refurbish the castle including for use as a residential dwelling should seek to preserve the cultural significance and special interest of the castle, and that any work should be sensitive and safeguard the continued importance of the building for the future.

The House and Cottage

Located close to Kirkcaldy and offering stunning views towards the Firth of Forth, the House itself comes with five good sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom,as well as several outhouse spaces.

The property also comes with a three bedroom cottage that's currently being used to rent out to holiday makers.

Within commuting distance of Edinburgh, the site has good transport links with the Forth Bridge and Edinburgh Airport.
