Description

Rosslands House is a beautiful former manse situated in the heart of Kinghorn. This elegant property enjoys elevated views over the Firth of Forth and boasts excellent transport links. Rosslands House also offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to restore the property to its former glory through upgrading and refurbishment.

The property is entered through an open and light vestibule with mosaic flooring which leads on to the entrance hall. To the left of the hall, sits the drawing room which is flooded with natural light from a magnificent bay window that overlooks the garden. Decorative ceiling cornicing adds a further layer of period charm. On the opposite side of the hall, the sitting room offers a similarly attractive outlook over the garden and features decorative ceiling coving. Also accessed from the entrance hall, is a large cloakroom, ideal for storage.

Beyond the hall, a corridor runs the width of the house. At one end lies a versatile room that could serve as a dining room or home office, along with two generous storage cupboards. At the other end is the kitchen, which offers access to the courtyard, a WC and a spacious pantry with ample shelving. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room, which connects to a traditional coal store.

A splendid original stone staircase, complete with intricate balustrade, leads to the upper level. A mid-landing WC and a large window bathe the stairwell with natural light. At the top, a wide landing gives access to four well-proportioned bedrooms. To the right, sits Bedroom 1, which offers elevated views over the garden and the sea beyond, and features a traditional press. Adjacent to this room, through an archway, sits Bedroom 2 which has views over the side garden and also has a press. Next door there is a large bathroom with a bath and wash basin. On the left side of the landing lies Bedroom 3, a spacious room with a bay window framing spectacular views across the Firth of Forth. This bedroom also provides access to a generous dressing room, which could easily be repurposed as an office. Adjacent to Bedroom 3, accessed through an archway, lies an airing cupboard and Bedroom 4.

Outside, Rosslands House is surrounded by beautifully maintained grounds. To the north sits a large parking area and garage. The main garden features a well-kept lawn, vibrant flowerbeds, and a variety of mature shrubs and trees. To the southwest, a patio area and a smaller secluded lawn offer a quiet space for relaxation. At the bottom of the garden, a summer house and potting shed provide excellent storage for garden tools and outdoor furniture.
