The interior has been finished to an immaculate standard and decorated by the owner with a bright and colourful palette. The large windows throughout the property invite the sunshine in and allows residents to look out across the stunning views of the countryside.

Estate agents ESPC also add: "Historic locations like the old nunnery/castle, Cousland Smiddy and local allotments are nestled within the bounds of the village. Featuring unrivalled views in every direction, even a simple evening walk provides stunning scenery toward the Firth of Forth."
