SITUATIONIngothill House is located in the village of Kennoway in central Fife. The village has a good range of local shops and a primary school as well as a GP surgery and Post Office. Nearby Leven, Glenrothes, Kirkcaldy and Cupar are all easily accessed and between them provide a comprehensive offering of amenities and facilities. The house is also well placed for bus and rail services, including the new railway station at Cameron Bridge (5 minutes by car) which provides a direct train service to Edinburgh Waverley. There are further railway stations nearby, in Leven, Markinch, Kirkcaldy, Ladybank and Cupar, while Edinburgh airport is about an hour away by road. The ancient and historic university town of St Andrews, known world-wide as the ‘Home of Golf’, is less than a thirty-minute drive to the north-east. State schooling is available locally with independent schooling on hand at St Leonards in St Andrews and Dundee High School.The village offers easy access to some lovely countryside, ideal for the outdoor enthusiast. There is scope for walking, cycling, sailing and riding in the surrounding area. The Fife Pilgrim Way (a footpath connecting Culross to St Andrews) runs through the village. It is perhaps golf for which Fife is best known, however, with numerous top-quality courses in the area, including the world-renowned Old Course at St Andrews which regularly hosts the Open Championship.DESCRIPTIONBelieved to date from circa 1833, Ingothill House enjoys high levels of privacy and seclusion and was formerly known as Kennoway Old Parish Manse.
