Description

Kirk House is a truly unique and highly impressive Category B Listed church conversion, occupying a wonderful rural setting in the hamlet of Newburn near Upper Largo. Set within approximately two acres of beautifully established gardens and grounds, this remarkable home seamlessly blends striking ecclesiastical architecture with spacious and versatile family accommodation, all while enjoying far-reaching countryside views and a peaceful coastal setting.

Originally converted from a former church, the property retains a wealth of character-defining features throughout, including magnificent arched church windows, elegant pillars and beautiful stonework. A welcoming entrance porch leads into the home and is complemented by a practical utility room, storage cupboard and guest WC. The fitted kitchen provides ample storage and workspace and leads through to the spectacular dining room, where the scale and grandeur of the original building are immediately apparent. Flooded with natural light from the stunning church windows, this remarkable space forms the heart of the home and is ideal for both family living and entertaining.

Off the dining room lies a bright sun room with double doors opening directly onto the gardens, offering a peaceful setting from which to enjoy the surrounding grounds. The spacious lounge is equally impressive, featuring a fireplace, wood-burning stove and an abundance of natural light from multiple windows overlooking the gardens and countryside beyond.

A short staircase leads to a useful office, perfectly suited to home working, with direct access to the garden. The first floor accommodation comprises a generous bedroom one with an en-suite shower room and access to a substantial dressing room, which can also be reached directly from the landing. Three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the accommodation.

Externally, Kirk House sits within approximately two acres of mature gardens and grounds. Beautifully landscaped over many years, the gardens feature expansive lawns, a stone terrace, mature trees, established shrubs, vegetable beds and a wealth of seasonal planting. A detached double garage provides excellent storage and parking, while the overall setting offers a rare combination of privacy, character and lifestyle appeal.
