Baillie Scott Cottage

Named after the architect Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott who designed Sandford House

Baillie Scott is a two bedroom cottage that sleeps four and is named after the architect - Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott who designed Sandford back in 1902.

Expertly renovated in the Arts & Crafts style with solid oak beams, posts and flooring, Baillie Scott is situated at the gable end of the cottages' wing with fabulous views over the Fife countryside, best enjoyed from the first floor Juliet balcony. Outside there is a private, south facing sun terrace with garden furniture that extends onto a mature shared garden. 

A large, bright and airy hallway leads to two double bedrooms, one with a king size bed, which can be split into two singles and one with a double bed. Both bedrooms are en-suite, one with a bath and one with a walk-in shower, both are fitted with Trevi power showers. There's also a separate ground floor wc and storage cupboard, ideal for coats, golf clubs and suitcases.

The showpiece of the cottage is the first floor open plan living area. Expansive vaulted ceilings, inset with large Velux windows, contrasting wooden beams and a feature wood burning stove, sets the stage for a relaxing holiday at any time of year. Stretch out of the comfy sofas, snuggle-up in the arm chair and enjoy family gatherings around the table in this wonderfully spacious room. There's also a Freeview TV, DVD player and iPod dock. 

The stylish kitchen, complete with solid wooden doors and worktops, blends the best of country living with all the mod cons including, an electric oven, induction hob, fridge, dishwasher, microwave and coffee machine. There's also a washing machine and freezer in the downstairs utility.
